I need money more than likes
So when you see my post i hope you comment "what's your price"?
They say don't knock the hustle I been knocked down more than twice
And some of y'all just adding vice for clout, here's some advice
Do some soul searching, hope you find that peace and inner light
Click on, this metamorphosis got more origins than the poorest kid in the orphanage
Negativity catching on more than the chorus did
Busting off on change the way it caught the kid
Like I'm tryna ride, keep a couple records on my homicide
Right on site, diss me ? but I'm alright
Think they could keep me inside, but this ain't Amistad
Eye for an a eye they peep the vision don't coincide so they don't ride
Who can you call on when you dancing with fear and scare?
When I'm dressed up in onion from all this wear and tear
Layers, see my struggle moved up from different tiers
Like every year someone made it "how can we get to there"?
Cuz we been dreaming big since August 28th
63' that's when the King was late
Fast forward let's get thru the tape
We went from lite feet to shipping heavy gems they couldn't box in this cruiser weight
So i stick and move, gotta keep my inner cool
I was playing wit instructions, now i gotta bend the rules
Gotta hush these clones up and send em back to Neptune
And even all the ones that i invented too
Even though you work hard, put your all in
People talk, let em talk, what you wanted?
Even though you work hard, put your heart in
People talk, what you thought?, what you wanted?
Ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhh
I told them that the world was bigger than the block
But some be so content wit just all that they got
Satisfied with someone in they spot
Mad at "this guy" you diss guys in your disguise like "I know they not"
And I refuse to go there
Cuz my train of thought could move with no fare
And they going up on that too
Trains come in late with no care
How the f*ck I'm posed to get to work?
Now soon it's back to job search
Applications that I fill out make my eyes hurt
Quit my 9 to 5 had to make my rhymes work
And nevertheless I knew to survive with one chance
Young ahky at the deli, gave me hot food for the stamps
And that kept me right
We was cooking up on Crown Heights
Kennedy Fried got me thru long nights
So you can keep your spite
Grass is greener on the other side but I just put a light to mine for the cyph, cyph, cyph
I dream with no slumber from my pillow
So I'll close my eyes when It's time to go
Ohhhh
So I'll close my eyes when
Even though you work hard, put your all in
People talk, let em talk, what you wanted?
Even though you work hard, put your heart in
People talk, what you thought?, what you wanted?
Ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhh
