I got some questions
If you had all the money in the world
If money weren't a thing for ya
Would you count your blessings?
Or throw 'em away?
Check yeah
I'm tryna get my own 5 loaves of bread
Is that too selfish?
Should I pray that I make enough pay to buy shellfish?
And feed to my fam like we sell fish?
Like where the chips at, I'm tryna play craps
Fight over the scraps? Can't take that!
Peek over his shoulder while he write that will like
I love you grandpa!
I was born rich, I can't help that
But if I wasn't would I fight for a bill?
Would I fight for a mill? Would I fight for a deal?
Would I load my nine? Would I shoot to kill?
Would I waste away watching Day-to-Day
And the appeal of pop make me pop a pill?
Would I, be motivated
Just a little more motivated
If I didn't have nothing
Would I rap? Or would I try to be something?
I thought I had it all figured, get good grades
Make a good wage, find a good bae
Get the law figured out, do it their way
Earn 2 + 4 figures all day
But it all went wrong, right?
'Cause I left it all in my hindsight
They say I rip cards when I roll up
I got big cars, my pants hang some
I got big scars, I don't tip the waiter
I just order shots and I just drink hard
I don't sing songs, I just spit bars
I don't drive cars, I just whip hard right?
When did it all change?
Still act like I ain't got no change
But I wish the beggar would leave a space
Set on the floor right on top of the pavement
I'm tryna pave my way, not pay my way
Sleep tight right on top of the cement
Really feel it, and see what they meant
Sing Started from the Bottom and mean that sh*t
My ex said I don't understand
I'm like, alright I don't understand
But like, why can't I understand?
She said you sympathize, you can't empathize
You can't get it just 'cause you get it, get it?
You gotta live it, be it, it's embedded, get it?
You can't tell me that you feel me
Damn guess she got a lot to criticize
She said you want critical acclaim
That's your claim to fame, right?
Everybody to know your name, right?
Give it up for a record deal?
You used to be a scholar, you don't think the same
Well damn, I guess things did change
It was all A grades until the 12th grade
And then I missed the place and felt missplaced
But then the grade A took that pain away
So hey! They didn't buy it!
I wasn't meant for that, I know, I tried it
I wasn't ready there was no way to hide it
Now I'm on stage amma 'cause a riot
This ain't my first attempt this ain't my pilot
I don't complain no more, just stay flying
I read the bible more, I'm more abiding
I'm just reaching up I'm still climbing and climbing and climbing
So don't hate me man, I'm trying
I don't know no more I won't deny it
So could I please have a moment of silence, question
