[Chorus x2] I guess the cash rules everything around me I need to change my ways I've been trying but I need to change my ways Half of the time, I don't know where I'm at, I'll be tripping and sh** I'm not famous or unknown but this can get to you quick I'll sip on a little alcohol and I'll be dabbling on some d** I'm not telling you what to do, but if you haven't then trust Don't do it, sh**'ll get you f**ed up Or have you feeling numb once and you be falling in love Aww man, you mean I don't gotta feel no more? You mean I can live in my head, dreams won't get k**ed no more? I can erase whatever happened and I don't gotta deal no more? I mean you can, but then you're back and sh** ain't real no more You gotta backtrack and sh**, go back to where you left it all Thought you left it all, but nope, this sh** will get you lost Now you're right back but more depressed than when you left You gotta 'fess to the bullsh** feelings of emptiness And now you're tripping, everyone thinking that you're okay But now you're slipping, late nights you laying in your bed And you start thinking, how the f** am I gonna matter? I wanna change but I need change, so I'm making my pockets fatter Cause the cash rules everything aroound [Chorus] What are we even here for? My generation is lame, so you start like Dear Lord, please help me to get some change I need some cash, I need it fast, I need a job that I like Imma need someone on my bed that'll make me feel it's alright These negative thoughts in my head that be making me think twice About everything I'm doing when I'm just trying to do right Going up like elevators, cause Andre used to talk to me But he's been gone lately, so I be looking for him constantly I need some Lauryn, Pun, Pac, and some Eminem I need some artists that I can listen to like way back when I need a lot, f**, I need peace of mind And you only get that with accounts with a couple G's aside For this empathy inside, cause I know we all need Artists need to humanize, cause I know we all bleed And I know I can't cop half the sh** that rappers nowadays get But I kinda be thinking that Imma need to help this generation [Chorus]
