[Verse 1: J.S.W.]
I value time spent, meals ate, each dollar made
For all the times lost to hunger pains
One dollar days
Never bought no Jordan's
It's not I wouldn't sport em
$200 for some kicks??
Is walking that important?
I'm a product of dog days when mom made
Graveyard minimum wage to keep the bills paid
That $200-
Could've used it back then
Could careless about some shoes I'm from back then
Split that $200 throw it in her tank
I'd put up on some groceries
Pay part of the rent
I was too young tho
I stared into my unknown future made a promise that when I'm grown
I won't blow dollars on frivolous
Meaningless transactions - I'm stacking - I'm not reliving this!
Putting up paying for the things I need
Rainy days drenched the inner kid within me
[Chorus: Sky Money]
Eight Ball corner-pocket
If I said it then I'ma win it
If I'm ballin then I'ma spend it
If you broke n*ggas go get it
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
[Verse 2: Sky Money]
Kept it real since my mama gave birth to me
Gotta k** cause that's what my fam worth to me
Do what it take to make it by any means
Scared to go broke
So I go hard for that green...
Haters try and stop me
Cause my grind on beast mode
Business mentality plus I'm flowing with the street code
Understand your position
n***a play your role
Don't act like you something when you a regular Joe Schmo
You n*ggas is fake
I'll melt with a lighter
Days getting darker
My nights getting brighter
I'm so authentic I got your b*tch calling me real
And everytime I f*ck her she's like "Sky's a big deal"
Yeah...
[Chorus: Sky Money]
Eight Ball corner-pocket
If I said it then I'ma win it
If I'm ballin then I'ma spend it
If you broke n*ggas go get it
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
[Verse 3: J.S.W.]
I try to give help, lift up, reach out
For all the help I didn't get -
Wouldn't reach out
Troubled
My smiles never showed it tho
Outer goals shielded soul - my inner war...
A war stole me from Rahel and Filmone
Elsa - for eleven and nine years
In the meantime I made hella friends
Would never tell my pain
Afraid to comprehend -
What is it to them?
I hide it from my friends
Could never keep it hidden
Learned how to pretend
Slowly rushed up
Rising like some lava
Hold Back People be creating hella drama
When I got the courage learned how to express
Listening ears healed me...
When I see the disturbed
Crumbling under stress
My listening ears start to heal em...
[Chorus: Sky Money]
Eight Ball corner-pocket
If I said it then I'ma win it
If I'm ballin then I'ma spend it
If you broke n*ggas go get it
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
