| Mama pray, Pappy ache
|
| Brother finna go and graduate
|
| Ex-girlfriend in a different state
|
| I still make minimum wage
|
| Even though I’m known to exaggerate
|
| Couldn’t get a loan at a low fixed rate
|
| So I got a few things on my plate
|
| In its place, give or take
|
| Is it safe if it breaks?
|
| Yes it ain’t, if that ain’t
|
| Some kind of shit, don’t know what’s stank
|
| Once is a bitch, two times is skank
|
| Y’all, I finna dip like contemplate
|
| Y’all ain’t gonna get me with that cake
|
| All I really want is all at stake
|
| All I really got is all I make
|
| Wait. |
| .. I’ve made mistakes and all of that steak
|
| For a lot of instantaneous weight
|
| But it’s safe to say I make my own fate
|
| That’s what I said, get out my head
|
| I’m out my bed
|
| Now let’s put pedal to the leg
|
| And if it falls off the ledge
|
| Then at least it’s all for the best
|
| Yes, madame, done packing
|
| In fact, I’m on Saturn and
|
| Never would’ve got this far not rapping
|
| Guess I would’ve got my car all crashed in
|
| Let me tell you all thus far — this, that
|
| And the other thing seem as though old-fashioned |
| So I dive in deep with feet backwards
|
| Till I’m right in reach of me asking:
|
| Rollercoaster Baby, are you
|
| Falling off the wheels tomorrow?
|
| Cause of all things Mama taught you
|
| Don’t it always?
|
| (Up and down)
|
| So let me go get straight to it:
|
| Way I view it, from the Buick
|
| To the sewage — it’s congruent
|
| Whether good or bad influence
|
| Better to have had intuitively
|
| Vacuumed gas tank fluid
|
| Than to held back and attached brakes to it
|
| Finna throw back in exact 2 minutes
|
| Dead ass serious, call me curious
|
| George! |
| Of course, the more I’ve written, it
|
| Makes more sense to make more cents
|
| And make sure dents lay on that fence
|
| Hence, it’s as intense as all of that gets
|
| So let’s invent some ways to pay rent
|
| And send our kids to live how we meant
|
| Invest in stocks, and less in «shock-and-awe»
|
| It’s all we got:
|
| The mall, the cars, the parking lot
|
| Often, I’m off in the bars a lot
|
| Cause often, I’m off in the stars a lot
|
| It’s all for a cause that I’ve all but forgot
|
| I’m not really positive I’m gonna stop
|
| But God, if you hear me, I’m clearing a spot |
| Merely a thought, clearly I’m not
|
| Yet. |
| Though I guess I’m expecting a lot
|
| And I digress, so let’s be honest. |
| .. kind of
|
| Most want it, don’t got it
|
| So much for no college gold scholarship
|
| If in the event there’s an inch not honored
|
| In any instance, isn’t it ironic?
|
| Considering since, in a sense, I’m hollering:
|
| Rollercoaster Baby, are you
|
| Falling off the wheels tomorrow?
|
| Cause of all things Mama taught you
|
| Don’t it always?
|
| (Up and down) |
