[Verse 1]
What if everybody was broke?
d**h rates would be higher than Bobby back in '04
Donald Trump probly hang his f**in' neck by a rope
While Warren Buffet is watching as he fills himself with coke
No disrespect, I hope you understand what I'm getting at
I've been broke for years, I just got used to the kitchen rats
Boiling up the water for the noodles as I crunch the pack
Mom's comin' in, yellin 'Why this f**in' house a mess?'
That's when I wanna skate, cause once the belts come out, there's no escape
Me and my brother both, but that n***a f**in' changed
Ever since he left the crib he been acting a bit strange
Filling up his lungs with squares
Caught up in the era where n***as is cool if the thugness there
I can give a f**, I know how it goes
They gon' be on my nuts, soon as they see that 106 steady playin' my stuff
[Bernie Mac]
[Verse 2]
Trying to make it to the other side
They say the gra** is greener, I hope they didn't lie
Or somebody gonna get this mitten into they eye
I ain't trying to be working these f**ing 9-5's
Moms still b**hing at me cause the f**ing dishes high
All this stress make me wanna start getting high
Flip these pink lips to black, Moms gon' kick me out
Right with my bro, stealing up out of stores and sh**
I love him, but he tripping like a nerd, and I hope these damn babies help him learn
I'm holding the faith, I'm the common sense from '98
Can I borrow a dollar cause I ain't ate
Can't wait till n***as say that I'm f**in' the game
And chicks giving me p**y cause they heard of my name
This the sh** I always dreamed about
In my room with the fan in the window, and the music loud
b**h I'm coolin' now
I ain't trying to stay local
Raps only played by my circle, that sh** is wack
So I'm out here on the grind like Hawk do
Trying to make these f**in' dreams come true
Trying to make my dreams come true, trying to make my dreams come true
Trying to make these dreams come true, trying to make these dreams come... true
