My mother texted me I love you
I can't remember the last time I heard her say it
Cause she don't show affection to well
So my apologies to any girls I ever dated
This love is a taught emotion
You have to learn to love before you can show, or even say it
I'm just a victim of circumstance
But don't pity me, this life is what you make it
And they want to strip me naked, take everything that I came with
I promise to leave with more then what I came with
Opportunity knocked and she ain't left since
But the money keep calling and I love her accent
I like girls, but I got to get rich
Only women I love, or family and close friends
But you gave me something to remember, how could I forget
Remember this?
I'm doing good, you can't behave like me
I'm not what matters, don't worry bout me
I'm not what matters, don't worry bout me
You must love me; me
On the road to riches, praying for wisdom
Pray the choices that I make don't land me in prison
Pray my cousins listen
So we don't have to miss 'em
We just take the ending
And make a beginning
Your Honor, I'm sorry but there's just things I had to
Treat my sisters like my daughters so they ought to had two
You may not understand, but I do what I have to
Not make an excuse
Cause everyday I live with the decisions I made
Cause I don't want nobody ever paying my way
And if there is no way, then I must make a way
And if I feel the urge going back to old ways
Then I take a day
1, 2 don't stop it
Everywhere I go these dreams in my pocket
And while the clock ticks, empty pockets
Trying to take care of my son and I ain't got shit
But these beats and these rhymes is what I live for
Wondering everyday what I'm here for
Child support don't give a damn they want dinero
I'm just trying to find my space in this aero
Keep my lines straight as an arrow
I could tell you a lot of shit but you won't care though
My vision clear as I'm riding in this Volvo
Contemplating with my team trying to get this dough though
In that four door, look up to the sky
Cause a nigga see the glory
Salute to the leaders and ones that came before me
Ain't nothing change but the address
I'm just trying to see progress
