[Hook] b**hes and gold All of these hoes just came to your show They all just came to your show b**hes and gold All of these hoes just came to your show But is that all you really want though? [Verse 1] It was all a dream 17 in XXL magazine Used to flip to that page with my little article Can't believe this little bedroom was where I started from Wonder how my old friends are, I grew apart from them No offence to them dudes, they're probably doing well Wonder if they got some stories, something new to tell Too bad I'm chasing what I've wanted since a youngin I feel like I lost the game like it was nothing I used to treat this sh** just like a hobby Made my first 10 grand and I f**ing lost me And that's some small a** money but at the time it was a lot And in this huge shark tank I was a guppy God damn, f** me But f** you if you didn't believe People get mad when you make livings, wait, but is that just me? And all these gold chains hide all of my insecurities So before you judge me quick, baby, please, listen to me [Hook] [Verse 2] Look, real sh**, real sh** This one rapper got mad cause he found one of my tracks Thought I was sneak dissing him But I ain't with all that hood sh**, that's not the sh** I'm good with Truthfully, if we fought he would win And no offence, do your thing, homie, you shine I won't fight back, I'll stunt on you in due time Meaning this sh** is competitive but I do this sh** effortless Didn't mean to get out of hand when I said that sh** I never signed up to carry guns with me Or gain caution to anybody that runs with me I be damned if his homies shot anyone with me This music sh** went from zero to f**ing one fifty All I wanted was some b**hes and a cheque Now this rap sh**'s bout physical respect Why couldn't we just make money as a whole Instead of beefing with each other, sh** is old b**hes and gold [Hook] [Verse 3] This chick Gabby was at my house once She was in my bed, we just made out once I was leaving for New York and I'd be back in a month She said when I was back we could f** She talked to me bout my life too And she could have been my wifey now I left town for a while, recorded, did me some shows I came home, god damn, she let me down You got a boyfriend? I stayed loyal but it seems like you enjoy him Maybe cause he's just around and I'm always out of town Man, this coulda woulda sh** just gets annoying Then I wish I was normal, but that doesn't work Making a five figure salary off dreams is a perk And I'm lucky if I really hit six, that's a goal Till then I'm draped in all these b**hes and gold b**hes and gold [Outro] So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality. What we really want seems impossibly out of reach and ridiculous to expect so we never dare to ask the universe for it. I'm saying, I'm the proof that you can ask the universe for it. Please
