Joell Ortiz - A Couple Dollars lyrics

[Intro: Skyzoo] We just wanted to live They told us that countin' up somethin' Seems the only way you can live Swear to God we just wanted to live They told us that countin' up somethin' Seems the only way you can live [Verse 1: Skyzoo] In love with a mattress that was somewhat outta place Where due to old habits it can double as a Chase Talkin' major key, let it cut you out a case And tryna run the city 'til it run you outta state Told us all of this is straight, and it's worth what you wait on Starin' at the exit like "yo I ain't tryna stay long" Kitchen table decorator situate a plate on Jeśus heavy is the head the crown lay on But all of this straight Runnin' outta state is what you play for and stay for To turn to what you leave for, get your 16 on Like talkin' mic check, throw the beat on Or talkin' 'bout a key but being 20 OZ short 16 ain't enough, Andre features As quick as you can be on, you'll be gone Waiting on a detour, couple U-turns to where you belong At best you can get your sight see on [Hook: Skyzoo] Just need a couple dollars A couple dollars baby Bet you I can plug 'em Til the wallet dropping babies Just need a couple dollars A couple dollars baby Told if I can get 'em All of them will save me Saved in a drop top BM Right side, DM All praise due up Tell him when I see him Started with a couple dollars baby Was told if I can get 'em All of them will save me It's off a couple dollars [Verse 2: Skyzoo] And it sounds like beautiful like the truth Like "she bad but even more beautiful in the coupe" And seeing that was seeing all that I would need to pursue The e-cla** that was used to corner me off the stoop Was as clean as the book that your hand on When you prayed that we stayed away from them anthems f** is left for us except for us to go stand on A box with a rope and a bottle of Spade Carpe diem, carpe diem, make it pop it for the day I threw money to j**eler, sneaker box full of change Know me, I'm no better I'm about it the same Cause on a box with a rope is how we got in this frame Now flick it up, one time for 'em, one time for 'em Know it's lit if they in here with the 9 on 'em One time for em, one time for em And the parades lining up along the side for 'em [Hook: Skyzoo] Just need a couple dollars A couple dollars baby Bet you I can plug 'em Til the wallet dropping babies Just need a couple dollars A couple dollars baby Told if I can get 'em All of them will save me Saved in a drop top BM Right side, DM All praise due up Tell him when I see him Started with a couple dollars baby Was told if I can get 'em All of them will save me It's off a couple dollars [Verse 3: Joell Ortiz] As a youngin', had a lot on my plate I ain't finna complain, just had a lot on my plate Razors, 12 12 skinnies and 58s I cooked a 6 deuce and came back with 58 I ain't stressin', I ain't stretch it, I just cheffed it in the bu*ter Orville Redenbacher, had it poppin', word to mother Swervin' under covers, had it local, had it OT Whippin' up P-O-T tryna get to the T-O-P Get in and get out, that's always the plan But all of them bands to a kid in the project who had nothin' so damned Hard to let go from starvin' stomach, hollow with the echo To the hardest Marc Ecko extra large retro MJs before they dropped, but a lot started to drop Stick up kids got the drop, my sneaker box dropped Dropped crack, switched to diesel when some fiends dropped Feds eavesdroppin'' on my drop, got 'em street blocked They dropped by my man's spot so now he locked I drop to both knees prayin' dimes don't get dropped Dropped it all, be the bird locked in the coupe Or take your talent more serious and lock in that booth I chose the latter, and thank God for showin' Joe the ladder Helped me climb through these rhymes Who said I would never matter? Look at me, such a hard act to follow Lookin' forward to tomorrow, you'll never hear me holler [Hook: Skyzoo] Just need a couple dollars A couple dollars baby Bet you I can plug 'em Til the wallet dropping babies Just need a couple dollars A couple dollars baby Told if I can get 'em All of them will save me Saved in a drop top BM Right side, DM All praise due up Tell him when I see him Started with a couple dollars baby Was told if I can get 'em All of them will save me It's off a couple dollars
