[Verse]
I don't do it for the money
I don't do it for the clothes
I don't do it for the hoes
I don't do it for the shows
I do it for the fam that don't ever hit my phone
I do it for my Auntie laying in her bed alone
I do it for my uncle working 9 to 5 6 days a week cuz he paying for a life
My Auntie got cancer so she can't do nothin
Medication cost paper and the docs stay drugging
My bank account triple digit and it's bout to be double cuz my uncle need a hunnid
In and out of my account cuz the old head struggling
He say he'll put it back but I don't even really want it
Cuz I know the money helping pay for my Auntie bills
My uncle won't tell me cuz the love to real
Sometimes I wonder how my uncle really feel
But he just go to church and pray that God keep him on the hill
I can feel it from the phone when we talk we don't discuss it
We stay talking bout nothin
What's going on in your workplace?
How you get there in the first place?
He working overtime behind a desk it ain't the best
But he never went to college so it's better than the rest
I always tell him when he take a hunnid he ain't gotta give it back
Cuz when my Dad pa**ed he the one who said pack
Took me out the ghetto put the team on his back
We was dead broke I don't like looking back
My mind is difficult so it be blocking all of that
I just recognized that I need to remember
Can't ever forget about them cold December's where we stood outside in a line for some presents
My Momma couldn't afford no gifts so they was given
Landlord gave us a basketball for Christmas
And then the next month she hand my mom an eviction
This life that we living it revolve around love so whenever you find it keep it in a bear hug
Cuz if I know one thing about love is that it runs
And once it start running it'll be a long time for its coming back
People think I gotta problem cuz I stay positive
I just don't like thinkin bad Cuz it could be worse
I could have been shot dead sleeping in a hearse
But I'm lucky
I could have been cooking on a stove
But I'm lucky
I had enough money for a mic and a mac
So I'm lucky
I had enough money for my rent
So I'm lucky
It's people out here really tryna get lucky
I gotta thank God cuz he showed that he love me
It's people out here really tryna get lucky
I gotta thank God cuz he showed that he love me
