They used to tell me if it, don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense
But crazy thing when I was broke shit I felt more rich (damn)
Moved from the town ain’t seen my family since (Dudley)
I'm getting paper but feel alone so it don't make sense (damn)
Ain't got no time for the ones I love
But paper I could spend it on 'em
FaceTime calls see my nephew now he growing on him
And those calls they ain't enough for him to know me
(He don't know me)
Reflectin' on the past think I was happier as broke me
And know that money don't mean shit when they go close that curtain
So tell me at the end what it is what you been workin', for?
Been looking so far down the road that I forgot to remain present
All I did was just bless them with a couple presents
I ain’t gift em with my presence (Damn)
I guess that was the lesson
'Cause I used to be so mad at mama, Used to be so mad at pops
All they ever did was work, came back with some toy boxes
Tried to win us over from the time that we was missing
When really it was them who I was missing (damn)
Chromed out rims looking like I’m silver surfin'
Reminiscin' on what I wanted when my pockets was hurtin'
Got it all, overtime I clocked in I was workin'
Now I’m soul searchin' shit, I'm trying to find my purpose
Chromed out rims, shit a **** silver surfin'
Late nights through the city paint reflecting while I'm lurkin'
Traded time for money, but that arrangement ain't workin'
Soul shiftin', I'm trying to find my purpose
Mama, I hope that you believe me
When I'm telling you that missin' you ain't easy
I gotta make it, I got people here that need me
Working so much now I got family don't see me
But know they need me
Tryna build something out of myself It ain't been easy
(Shit been hard)
I seen so much, almost gave up, ended abrupt
I seen so many lives done change in front of my eyes
I always try to keep them dry
But I be thinking my brother (Andy)
Thinking about my cousin (Tre)
Seen so many losses, they come by the dozen
Regretting not spending time with yall
But once it said and I am gone
All I’m tryna do is make sure I leave family something
Chromed out rims looking like I’m silver surfin'
Reminiscin' on what I wanted when my pockets was hurtin'
Got it all, overtime I clocked in I was workin'
Now I’m soul searchin' shit, I'm trying to find my purpose
Chromed out rims, shit a **** silver surfin'
Late nights through the city paint reflecting while I'm lurkin'
Traded time for money, but that arrangement ain't workin'
Soul shiftin', I'm trying to find my purpose
