| Man it’s hard when you see more bills than checks
|
| That’s why I push an XB for wheels, no Lex
|
| While I write day and night just to deal with stress
|
| Walk these DMV streets like I’m still the best
|
| Even though I got an overdrawn account waiting on collb money
|
| Frontin ass promoters refusing to ask for me
|
| State trooper tailing me, creeping in back of me
|
| Traffic violation they call in the calvary
|
| Shit ain’t adding up and you don’t need a math degree
|
| I’m here laughing at shit that really ain’t that funny
|
| But eh man, life ain’t perfect
|
| Made something of myself with next to nothing to work with
|
| And found my purpose, while looking for answers
|
| Wife looking for purses, baby looking for pampers
|
| Got me looking for paper to feed our needs and our wants
|
| So a slice won’t due, when you’re in need of a chunk
|
| Of the proverbial pie, so when shit try to halt
|
| This descendant of go-getters ‘bout to get some results
|
| So those pennies for thoughts can add up when you get on your grind
|
| Especially when you got a lot of shit on your mind, I’m saying…

|
| Fuck a plan B if plan A is win, you can quote me God
|
| With the mic, stage, or pen… I am going hard
|
| While my friends took a break, I was taking chances
|
| Labels feeling the kid, now and try to take advantage
|
| Every other week of the month I’m like damn this
|
| Starving and bamas is trying to feed me canned shit
|
| I know I’m hungry, okay more like famished
|
| But I done seen things that’ll make a grown man cringe
|
| But I still will heal with no bandage
|
| Found away to still paint pictures with no canvas
|
| But I’ma manage cause challenge I’m use to
|
| Got every single reason to fail… I refuse to
|
| With little promo, no investments, and skeptics
|
| Can make this road to success shit hectic
|
| The way I’m barely eating man I should be anorexic
|
| Everything’s backwards, I ain’t even dyslexic
|
| Check it, I’ve tried what other people suggested
|
| But being anything other than me’s out of the question
|
| Found a way to win when others didn’t expect it
|
| Underdog champ of the decade, respect it! |
| (Yeah!)
