Substantial - Spent lyrics
[Verse 1:] My favorite holiday is Christmas Though I hardly qualify as Christian Got that good hair 'cause I'm part Indian Plus whole fam go hard at Thanksgiving If I'm missing it's cuz I'm lined up Trying to give'em my business before its marked up Stiff arm shoppers like it's all mine what Boy dem deep discounts done got me fired up Don't fool with Kwanzaa dog it's so wack They don't even do gifts and I ain't pro black Man I'm pro green and I gots to get it Second that I got it I gots ta spend it All brand names, I'm looking splendid Yall got no cla** like yall got suspended Bling for misses copped my son Batman All praises due to jolly old fatman, Amen! [Hook:] Man it just don't make no sense I can hardly pay my rent All this doe that I done spent Out here trying to cop these gifts Just don't make no sense All these festivities got me spent Times are hard so hard we went Almost spent up every cent [Verse 2:] If my girl copped me a wack gift then we're thru Might take back all that I copped for her too To be my boo and worthy of praise Need a PS4... plus some new Js I'm out here burning up doe real wreckless Swapped my check with a diamond necklace Nothing like diamonds to say “I love her” When you tryna slide her the stocking stuffer I know money can't buy me love but I'm seeing more action Ji'like, somewhat Screwed like a lugnut when my funds shrank My account's blank, no cash in the bank No gas in my tank Mrs. Clause leaving Nothing left to give, she done receiving No longer present, yet it's a wrap... ironic Searching for gift receipts as I sip my tonic [Hook:] Man it just don't make no sense I can hardly pay my rent All this doe that I done spent Out here trying to cop these gifts Just don't make no sense All these festivities got me spent Times are hard so hard we went Almost spent up every cent [Verse 3:] They talking ‘bout boycotting Black Friday If I had my way, it would be 5 days Then they talking ‘bout supporting Black business I'm like it's called Black Friday.. isn't it Alright, I know that a tad too ignorant But I'd like to know why on earth should I give a ish When a TV worth a G's now three… hundred Everything in me say hit the street running Then they say we're that second cla** citizen But we're the first to give up all my dividends Outside of the neighborhood that we are living in Meanwhile our life's treated like it's insignificant Sure plenty times the service be dreadfool ‘Cause we ain't really customers, thought of as a threat fool And the folks our tax pay to serve and protect us Most don't do either let alone respect us So why should I care about a holiday special Tryna save a dime, when we need to save our self Too many of us dying and we funding movement They gonna k** your cousin, you ain't gon' do ish?! Who the real menace? Ain't hard to call it But some of the ammo to fight back's in your wallet They don't worship prophets they worship profit Make them the target and hit them in the pocket Pow-er [Hook:] Man it just don't make no sense I can hardly pay my rent All this doe that I done spent Out here trying to cop these gifts Just don't make no sense All these festivities got me spent Times are hard so hard we went Almost spent up every cent
