Skeme - Road To the Riches lyrics

[Verse 1] Look I never knew a life without a struggle I never thought the sh** i write would bubble Money come in all of sudden And I got new cousins now But i won't circulate it down With those who wasn't around My past make it hard to sleep at night And Cire said this world gonna feel me If it speak it right I put my pen on each and every beat Lock up the block i want my name on each and every street The n***as around round with me Boy that was never sweet And most of these rappers lame That is probably why we never speak I used to sell white and crack to make my jordon money But what fiends did to get that dough was n't important to me Got to a point where i was use to sh**ten upto But knew right from wrong and still was playing dumb too I saw a way about the hood and started running to it Was barely getting bread but now a n***a thumbing to it [Hook ] I take the losses with the winds Just trying to make my ends on this road to riches More dough and less friends Looking life through it new designer lens I can't see my hustle ever breaken been I am on this road to riches [Son ,I was younger , told was get money straight up] I am on this road to riches [Either you gonna standup for some or you gonna fall for everything] [Choice is your though,you hear me] [Verse 2] What's the use to have a bank , but all your n***as broke What's the use to going hard , if all your n***as won't I always kept it real even when n***as don't And that's the reason i am whom all a real n***a coup Talk about it but really got it how you feel a body Steady my moves , because lack of focus lead to lack of options Started this rap to declare my thoughts and then the second profit Double your grind, double your shine That's just basic logic The bullsh** on a larger scale be microscopic If it ain't paper or progression, its off the topic Its the Malcom and Martin flow You know that they throw it in gear but never park a flow If you ain't have no any plan what you started for The odds stacked up against you gonna make it hard to go Money, Power and respect that's all we ever want Been on this road b**h i m staying on it [Hook ] [Inglewood though man make this sh** happen for the hometown one time] [Drinking on that drank , right now we still focused]
