I picture riches and fame
A hundred mil to my name
I bet I'd like that, yeah yeah
I'd go from dollars and change
To rocking collars and chains
I'd never write back, no, no
But that's not what it's about for me
I'm standing on the balcony
Looking at my mansion but it's really just a house to me
I'm tryna make a legacy
Get friendly with my enemies
Identify the inner me
Quit messing with my energy
They say that money don't buy happy
Actors, actresses and athletes
They be crying in their Bentley
I be crying in my taxi
In the backseat feeling sad because I wanna be like that
Little do I know, all they wanna do is crash
But they just can't love
And they just can't trust
And they just give up
Cause it gets to much
And they focus on the motive
But they really can't control it
People coming and they going
But I never even notice
That it's hard to keep a hold if you're not holding on the moment
Always in I'm never folding
Need a minute I'll be hoping
That it's better in the morning
But the weather's never golden
Will I ever be important?
All my knowledge is imported
And I've been learning from a foreigner
That it's not about the roarin'
And it's not about the noise
Nothing really matters 'cept my actions and my voice
(Nothing really matters 'cept the fact you got a choice)
But that's what it's about for me
I'm standing on the balcony
Looking at my mansion but it's really just a house to me
I'm tryna make a legacy
Get friendly with my enemies
Identify the inner me
Quit messing with my energy
Things they come and go
Memories forever
When I'm feeling low
Nothing makes it better
There's no amount of riches and fame
That can cure all my pain
Wish I knew I was great from the start
Cause if you feeling bad when you get it
Won't be better when you spend it
Wish I would've learned my lesson
Guess I never got the message
Girl you hit me up
Tell me you miss me 'cause
Got lots of money in my pocket
But I'm low on love
But that's not what it's about for me
I'm standing on the balcony
Looking at my mansion but it's really just a house to me
I'm tryna make a legacy
Get friendly with my enemies
Identify the inner me
Quit messing with my energy
