I'm tired of this work as shit, these jobs ain't it
Need somethin' that can pay me
Can't get a break, need money in the bank
Tell me what it's gon' take just to make G?
I hate the way it feel when the rate get real
Then the landlords trippin' on the eighteenth
Nowhere to run when the rain gon' come
I lookin' for the Sun like KD
And the crib too hit, no AC
Broke nigga out schemin' on your AP
I ain't wanna do it, but you made me
Kids gotta eat and the bills got late fees
My cousin hit me up tryna save me
Told me how to sell crack but that ain't me
Look, there's gotta be another way to make cheese
It's a life over niggas tryna break free
The hatin' niggas wanna curve me and block me
If this rap don't work, then it's robbery
Gotta make it out the dirt, nigga, watch me
Tryna get what I deserve like Taraji
Wasn't waitin' my turn, I was tryna get heard
You was lookin' for the birds on the IG
When I was puttin' in the work, you was poppin' them Perc's
Tryna get a nigga served on the Oxy
If I'ma get to where I'm goin', I'ma need cake
Had a meetin' with the plug over cheesecake
You was frontin' me the money in the briefcase
Told 'em I'ma get it times ten, we gon' be straight
All I needed was a dream, I don't need breaks
Soon as I catch steam, I'm a heatwave
Had ADHD since pre-K
This is for them niggas
that said I wouldn't be great, bitch, mm

Soon a nigga thought that I was done
I came in that bitch with a eight piece (eight piece)
But baby needs shoes and the whip due too
rent due too on the eighteenth (eighteenth) , uh
I don't wanna take it up a notch
but the buss down watch 'bout to make me (make me)
As long as I'm alive, folk
just keep your eyes open, be concerned
for your safety (safety)
'Cause if you gon' hate me
Uh, I'ma have to give you motherfuckers a reason
'Cause if you gon' hate me
Yeah, ayy, I'ma make sure that you mean it
'Cause if you gon' hate me
You better learn what I been through lately (yeah, uh)
How many niggas gon' be where I can't be?
Just keep your eyes open
be concerned for your safety (safety)
I know they gon' hate me

I want this, believe that
Who got bread? I need that
Was André, with three stacks
Delonte, I relapsed
Was stressed out, I mean that
I checked out, I'll be back
I'm chasin', I reached that
It's major, in G flat
I keep my pace when I'm in the rat race
and the government wanna keep me trapped
And the school keep tellin' me
that I can be anything I want
but I really ain't believe that
They was teachin' me to work
for another motherfucker
when I graduate and I ain't wanna be that
'Cause if the goal was for me to get rich
with a 9-to-5 shift, I ain't never gon' achieve that
What you know 'bout riskin' it all just
to get a li' bread? So you livin' like a don, huh?
What you know about doin' some dirt
and you drawin' up plans just to get to
where you goin', huh?
What you know about takin' a chance
on yourself 'cause ain't nobody puttin' you on, huh?
What you know about givin' your heart
to a ho when you know that ain't where you belong, huh?
What you know about shoppin' at Ross
'cause you ain't had pockets for Louis Vuitton, huh?
What you know about sellin' some crack
to your ex's mom and you knew it was wrong, huh?
But you ain't got no feelings
'cause you up in the trenches
and all your emotions gone, huh?
What you know about weighin' out all of the pros
bit you really too good at the cons, huh?

Soon a nigga thought that I was done
I came in that bitch with a eight piece (eight piece) , uh
But baby needs shoes and the whip due too
rent due too on the eighteenth (eighteenth) , uh
I don't wanna take it up a notch
but the buss down watch 'bout to make me (make me)
As long as I'm alive, folk, just keep your eyes open
be concerned for your safety (safety)
'Cause if you gon' hate me
Uh, I'ma have to give you motherfuckers a reason
'Cause if you gon' hate me
Yeah, ayy, I'ma make sure that you mean it
'Cause if you gon' hate me
You better learn what I been through lately (yeah, uh)
How many niggas gon' be where I can't be?
Just keep your eyes open
be concerned for your safety (safety)
'Cause if you gon' hate me
I'ma have to give you motherfuckers a reason
'Cause if you gon' hate me, yeah
Ayy, I'ma make sure that you mean it
'Cause if you gon' hate me
You better learn what I been through lately (yeah, uh)
How many niggas gon' be where I can't be?
Just keep your eyes open
be concerned for your safety (safety)
I know they gon' hate me
