| He know I’m filled with pride
|
| He know how I feel inside
|
| They say he knows your heart
|
| So he knows my daughter
|
| And he knows my wife
|
| And he knows they both my life
|
| They the reason why even when I get stressed
|
| I push thru like a bench press
|
| What more I need
|
| Kiss um on the cheek before I leave
|
| Then I’m out the door
|
| First job at 8, next one at 4
|
| And my managers younger than me
|
| Cuz I never finished up my college degree
|
| At 20 thought I’d go to the league
|
| Then I turned 21 blew out my knee
|
| Thought my school would look out for me
|
| But they never called a scout for me
|
| Turns out, everybody doubted me
|
| And now I work hourly, for some business
|
| That don’t provide benefits
|
| But my daughter need insulin
|
| So now I’m going 66
|
| In a 45 *police sirens* just to get to work on time
|
| Rear view, red light blue light
|
| So I pull to the right
|
| Trynna make it out alive
|
| Keys on the dash *throws keys* windows down *windows go down*

|
| Even tho that’s just pre tax
|
| A month worth of bills and some weed bags
|
| All this stress yeah I need that
|
| Get higher than a seat back tray
|
| Damn near every day

|
| But there’s a catch that goes widdit
|
| I gotta fuck her in the office and
|
| The thought made me nauseous and
|
| Cautious and conscience Of the consequence
|
| Had to think it over

| It was foreskin or foreclosure
|
| And I still wasn’t so sure
