Whats the kid supposed to do?
When the fam got rent to pay thats over due
Getting used to hand me downs cuz old is new
T shirts in the winter when the coldest brew
Weight up on his shoulders then hes on the move
Knowing its life or d**h
Young age dont matter, theres some fighting left
Hes standing tall despite the stress
In the mind hes the champ
Sleep on the belt dont get any rest
Trying to bite success
With mike tysons height index
Hes adjusting trying to survive
Rich kid back of his mind
Run down project lights in his eyes
His dad left now he gotta provide
Mom working 9 to 5
Hes home alone and wasting his time
So hes risking lives taught himself how to drive
Going around town for a job he could find
They won't hire hes to young and hes kind
Won't get along with the coworkers
Turns out he can't flip no burgers
So he goes back home to complain
Hard headed as always and strong he remains
His family leaching off the government the predators apex
Hes just so scared living paycheck to paycheck
Kendle jacobs dealing with his parents break up
Used to living nice but the ghettos where he wakes up
These problem hes gotta face em even when hes struggling
His mom learned the hard way what makes a faithful husband
They thought he was really loving turns out he really wasn't
Makes him want to egg his house with a bakers dozen
His anger has him losing focus
Never hopeless grocery store across the street never closes
At that moment he just noticed
Filling out the application they just gave him
So elated two or so days till he makes the bank a statement
Now he thinking they make it
Work for hours on his break hes back trying to be the greatest
Works on weekends not including after school
He owes his family so hes doing what he has to do
Kids up on his avenu they laugh at dudes
Give him attitude he snaps and ask do you care if I battle you?
He bets on himself his gambling simply tactile
Set precedents hes apt the add the capitol
Anyway to make money, hate money
Fake money fame money
Date money if its great money
It ain't money
Two weeks later he finally got paid
Smile on his face didn't care how he much he made
He rushed home then paid for the electric
Corrupt systems maze up in the metrics
Bagging groceries making dough
And got no homies saving up for pairs roches
And cell phone just to type emojis
His nights are lonely
Sleeping on the matress on the floor hes out growing
Bugs and roaches start to gross him
Hes motivated for promotions
To get him out of this place
Hates his home so thatll be great
He means it when he says have a good day
Never known to customers that hes a hustler
He chose his rapper name so kendle jacobs be the cover up
He meets new people and makes sure to start connections
Metaphorical foundations better then what his architect did
To his home is rather reckless not to mention
Mom miss the lexus and her necklace we had to sell to pay the rent with
Life is so relentless learning lessons
Is your time invested?
Tired of being question because hes always restless
The mornings what hes blessed with
In the city hes a reverend
In the ghetto hes like riddick
So his only exit is to get
Hook
Your boy gotta get new money
His fam in trouble he gotta do something
Dollar chasing got your dude running
Its now or never he only got a few moments
