(Verse)
AndI was that skinny n***a curly hair
Apple of my father's eye
Although I was small in size
Dreaming on to falling skies
Polluted pictured depicting victims that all applies
In denial they would often try
To compensate for all them lies
And I would stay inside playing hide with my nieces
Reese's little brother discovered his own thesis
Recently got a foot inside of what might've took
More than it normally would but I found myself and got off the hook
And this is not a f**ing album
This is a byproduct of slighted projects and 5 years of n***as doubting
This is my opening opus an oath and ode
To the hopeless that some revoke
Couldn't cope but it's just the souless
And I'm soaking up this journey while I'm on it
Tryin to see things clearer that mirror was my oponent
Potent words pierce a n***a hard, watch it as it flutters
Tryin to wash clean inside the gutter
(Hook) x2
f** y'all n***as thought this was
This ain't what they thought this was
More than just that paper see that paper ain't gon stop it cuz
Money gon mean everything
Me , I just want everything
This is for my riders if they feel it, let me know
(Verse)
And they say, Lock you gotta make some party sh**
Rap about money and hoes and all that gaudy sh**
You goin over n***as heads they'll never get it
Well excuse me for giving my people too much credit
Credit me for my own mistakes no escape from them short comings
And People pa** judgement like a court summons
Something's gotta give as it swells
And they say that money don't mean everything
But it sure in the f** helps help yourself and just be grateful of
Everything that you say you love
Everything that I went through I was meant to and I say it cuz
Life can be misleading it can even make you sway your budge
What do you think the reason why them n***as front and stay in clubs
And it's no use from running from yourself player
All the j**erly and hoes that ain't gonna help player
Say what you want as your heart flutters
But careful tryin to climb out of that gutter
(Hook) x2
f** y'all n***as thought this was
This ain't what they thought this was
More than just that paper see that paper ain't gon stop it cuz
Money gon mean everything
Me , I just want everything
This is for my riders if they feel it, let me know
Let me know
Let me know
