I payed my dues with effort
I still lose count counting my blessings
Sold dubs at my gigs pain is the essence
Now Im making hits taking them hits made me a weapon
Uh I never had a pot to piss in
Now I piss in a pot of gold and watch it glisten
In a race with my own race thats not the mission
Thats why Id rather link wstrn than cop a smith
Every time that top was missing I went missing
Came back and left the old me my friends miss him
How am I gonna stay the same tryna make a difference
Tryna make a living then make a killing and live killing sh*t
I mind my business cuh my minds on my businesses
Kicked out of business studies studied my businesses
Its kind of crucial what Ms simmons did
Ive got away with words a way with words cause Im a lyricist
Mumma needs a new stove so I do stove
Could have got sectioned I had to do road
And now Ive got some new dough off a new flow
Couple diamonds I can kill one bird with two stones
I used to wake up in the am cold showers
While I hear my nana praying amen
Counting money watching boondocks
Then I put it in my shoebox still tryna put my crew on
Ring the alarm ring the alarm
Everybody run when the po po come
All I see is a smoking gun
Whoa yeah
Ring the alarm ring the alarm
Everybody wanna be all in so
Imma stay up till the morning comes
Whoa yeah
How am I going to sign a deal with ya even deal with ya
If you dont deal with me properly whats the deal with ya
I was taught to be real with ya so Im real with ya
Though Im in tommy hilfiger still a real ni* *a
Yeah my plan a was my plan b
I only planned my a levels for my family
And now Im with a bad b**ch and some bad breed youts
Even though I cant change them I can teach
The things we used to do for figures
Now I do a one show and thats a new four figures
I can go forever and a few more minutes
Im just tryna paint pictures I dont do this for the image
I do this for the broke niggas
Not the lose a little hope and its overtheyre some joke niggas
I dont dodge my old women
Cause theres nothing wrong with gold diggers
When you dig for gold with your own niggas
Shining from the ground up we was grinding
Told the mandem watch cause its timing
The top is like a dm Imma slide in
And bring my people through Ive got pride in my lions
I used to wake up in the am cold showers
While I hear my nana praying amen
Counting money watching boondocks
Then I put it in my shoebox still tryna put my crew on
Ring the alarm ring the alarm
Everybody run when the po po come
All I see is a smoking gun
Whoa yeah
Ring the alarm ring the alarm
Everybody wanna be all in so
Imma stay up till the morning comes
Whoa yeah
Dont tell me about no hard knock life
When youve had a good dream the alarms not nice
Heart on my sleeve but my garms werent nice
I would talk to myself and ask for advice
Like how am I gonna get this dough
And was it really worth my time do I say yes or no
Do I let sh*t slide or do I get involved
And everything changed when I went with the flow yeah
I used to wake up in the am cold showers
While I hear my nana praying amen
Counting money watching boondocks
Then I put it in my shoebox still tryna put my crew on
Ring the alarm ring the alarm
Everybody run when the po po come
All I see is a smoking gun
