5th Child - The Jersey Lyrics




I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game
Sadly I was tipsy off the Henny at the time frame
Words kind of slurred so the lesson was never learned
It was something about grace and how blessings ain't never earned
I been stressing but let it burn, I don't even smoke
Got the presidential Roley on and I don't even vote
I'm just playing with you, I don't even joke
Need the paper in my pocket cause I've got to feed the folks
And it's got to be the quotes, keep them coming back for seconds
I reckon they be impressed with how I'm flexing on a record
Back in May of 2012, I got a check and I invested
In myself instead of frivolous things Getting diamond chains
Fifth water bending while these other niggas riding waves
Swear it's like they trapped inside a twisted game of Simon Says
It's tougher doing it different but we gonna find a way
Let me put it simple to hip you to what I'm trying to say

Everybody's equal, not everybody's worthy
Some are here for real and some just wanna wear the jersey
Everybody's equal, not everybody's worthy
Some are here for real and some just wanna wear the
One more time
Everybody's equal, not everybody's worthy
Some are here for real and some just wanna wear the jersey
Surely you gonna run into them both upon your journey
Those who fan your flames and those who wanna watch the burning

Cant' keep chasing pleasure seeking happiness
(Hold on I'm gonna let that one breathe for a second)
Sadly this fascination with surface kill your purpose
Hurting and feeling worthless trying to heal it with a purchase
That ain't the way it go, that ain't what time it is
Superstars hiding a frightened kid behind the lens
I choose truth, rhymes oozing out my sinuses
Mind, heart, and courage find the wiz but I'm just trying to live
Too many people want a check but they don't want to work
Too many people want respect but ain't a 100 first
Yea, you want it bad but somebody out there wants it worse
How you say you're looking for love but you ain't begun your search
You can live your wildest dreams behind computer screens
Boosting up your stats and fake your wealth but can't escape yourself
Then throw the jersey on, some just wanna look the part
Time for y'all to chill, boy, I do this stuff for real

Everybody's equal, not everybody's worthy
Some are here for real and some just wanna wear the jersey
Everybody's equal, not everybody's worthy
Some are here for real and some just wanna wear the
One more time
Everybody's equal, not everybody's worthy
Some are here for real and some just wanna wear the jersey
Surely you gonna run into them both upon your journey
Those who fan your flames and those who wanna watch the burning
