Take yourself serious first
Before they believe in you
You got to believe in what you say in your verse
I got my heart sewed into the sleeve of my shirt
You say you real but do you stand by your word
Like would you throw some change out for a man on the curb
If you could barely pay your bills
But you can see that he hurting
Plus you made an extra 20 from a table you serving
Feeling that bad from all that karma cuz you know you ain't perfect
But rent is coming up and plus you pay for cellular service
'Fridgerator empty too but you got paid cuz you working
So give this man family 20
Buy em dinner, it's worth it
Maybe get some inspiration for a verse and
Write that shit your down cursive
If you nervous bout spitting it then
Homie just go and rehearse it
So much more than you can see on the surface
But don't nobody know
Don't nobody know
The places that my mind goes to
I wish that I could just show you
Or tell you about what I go through
Woah oh oh
Should I give this man some change
Is he really gon' change his ways
Should I do it for some peace of mind
Cuz he be standing on that corner all the time and
All I think about is why
Do I trust the words on his sign
He claim that been going through some shit
But I can't help but wonder is this man lying
Now if I give this man 20 dollars
Is he gon be hooping and hollering all up and down the block again
After he buy a bottle of vodka
Spend it all liquor shopping
Despite all his liver problems
I might just be overthinking
But I don't work my ass off to pay for his smoking and drinking
I should probably chill tho
Like the temp - below freezing
I wonder in God's eyes if I don't donate to this man do I qualify my soul as a demons
So what you really about
Give this man the benefit of the doubt
You been taking hot showers
He been going through a drought
Hair greasy face crusty teeth rotting in his mouth
Holes in his shoes, toes sticking out
Should I give this man some change
Is he really gon' change his ways
Should I do it for some peace of mind
Cuz he be standing on that corner all the time and
All I think about is why
Do I trust the words on his sign
He claim that been going through some shit
But I can't help but wonder is this man lying
