Losing Weight 3

Present's great, the future's bright One thing you can't take away is my past though Shorty told me a story I ain't cast any aspersions or hold judgement So I told her a piece of mind I was fourteen, just startin' a dream All grandma wanted was a washing machine, couldn't afford it Left me with a heart full of steam Felt like coffee, let me borrow some cream Hustlers said, "You can't be part of the team", "Why?" "You a ball player, one day you gon' make it out" Yeah I hear all that, but I ain't tryna wait it out You givin' me the work or what? What the debate about? They said no, so my options I had to weigh it out Fuck the daily news, I'ma found me a paper route Got with the stick-up kids, them niggas drove a Pontiac Never met Martin, but could tell you where the Tommy at Pass me the pump, that's no relation to Johnny, Jack Gripped it like I'm gettin' in and out that laundromat mat Apologize to the couple I had to victimize Week later, told nanna, "Look, I got a big surprise" She was happy, but listen she ain't no dumb dumb "Where the money for this washer and dryer come from?" "Won it playin' basketball, man, a lump sum" Gave her a kiss and a hug, that's where I come from Why it feel like I'm losin' weight? (Weight) Why I ain't got no money if I'm movin' weight?
