I'm tired of this work, it's shit, these jobs ain't it

Need somethin' that can pay me

Can't get a break, need money in the bank

Tell me what it's gon' take just to make G's

I hate the way it feel when the rent get real

And your landlord's trippin' on the eighteenth

Nowhere to run when the rain gon' come

I'm lookin' for the sun like KD

And the crib too hit, no AC

Broke **** out schemin' on your AP

I ain't wanna do it, but you made me

Kids gotta eat and the bills got late fees

My cousin hit me up tryna save me

Told me how to sell crack, but that ain't me

Know there's gotta be another way to make cheese

This the life of a **** tryna break free

The hatin' **** wanna curve me and block me

If this rap don't work, then it's robbery

Gotta make it out the dirt, ****, watch me

Tryna get what I deserve like Taraji

Wasn't waitin' my turn, I was tryna get heard

You was lookin' for the birds on the IG

When I was puttin' in the work, you was poppin' them Percs

Tryna get a **** served on the Oxy

If I'ma get to where I'm goin', I'ma need cake

Had a meetin' with the plug over cheesecake

You was frontin' me the money in the briefcase

Told 'em I'ma get it times ten, we gon' be straight

All I needed was a dream, I don't need breaks

Soon as I catch steam, I'm a heatwave

Had ADHD since pre-K

This is for them **** that said I wouldn't be great, bitch, mm

Soon a **** thought that I was done, I done came to that bitch with an eight-piece (Eight-piece), uh

My baby needs shoes and the whip due too, rent due too on the eighteenth (Eighteenth), huh

I don't wanna take it up a notch, but the bustdown watch 'bout to make me (Make me)

As long as I'm alive, folk, just keep your eyes open, be concerned for your safety (Safety)

'Cause if you gon' hate me

Uh, I'ma have to give you motherfuckers a reason

'Cause if you gon' hate me, yeah

Yeah, ayy, I'ma make sure that you mean it

'Cause if you gon' hate me

You better learn what I been through lately (Yeah, uh)

How many **** told me what I can't be?

Just keep your eyes open, be concerned for your safety (Safety)

I know they gon' hate me

I want this, believe that

Who got bread? I need that

Was André with three stacks

Delonte, I relapsed

I was stressed out, I mean that

I checked out, I'll be back

I'm chasin', I reached that

That's major, a G-flat

I keep my pace when I'm in the rat race and the government wanna keep me trapped

And the school keep tellin' me that I could be anything I want, but I really ain't believe that

They was teachin' me to work for another motherfucker when I graduate and I ain't wan' be that

'Cause if the goal was for me to get rich with a 9-to-5 shift, I ain't never gon' achieve that

And what you know about riskin' it all just to get a lil' bread so you livin' like a don, huh?

What you know about doin' some dirt and you drawin' up plans just to get to where you goin', huh?

What you know about takin' a chance on yourself 'cause ain't nobody puttin' you on, huh?

What you know about givin' your heart to a ho when you know that ain't where you belong, huh?

What you know about shoppin' at Ross 'cause you ain't had pockets for Louis Vuitton, huh?

What you know about sellin' some crack to your ex's mom when you knew it was wrong, huh?

But you ain't got no feelings 'cause you up in the trenches and all your emotions gone, huh?

What you know about weighin' out all of the pros, but you really too good at the cons, huh?

Soon a **** thought that I was done, I done came to that bitch with an eight-piece (Eight-piece), uh

My baby needs shoes and the whip due too, rent due too on the eighteenth (Eighteenth), huh

I don't wanna take it up a notch, but the bustdown watch 'bout to make me (Make me)

As long as I'm alive, folk, just keep your eyes open, be concerned for your safety (Safety)

'Cause if you gon' hate me

Uh, I'ma have to give you motherfuckers a reason

'Cause if you gon' hate me, yeah

Yeah, ayy, I'ma make sure that you mean it

'Cause if you gon' hate me

You better learn what I been through lately (Yeah, uh)

Just keep your eyes open, be concerned for your safety (Safety)

'Cause if you gon' hate me

I'ma have to give you motherfuckers a reason

'Cause if you gon' hate me, yeah

Ayy, I'ma make sure that you mean it

'Cause if you gon' hate me

You better learn what I been through lately (Yeah, uh)

How many **** told me what I can't be?

Just keep your eyes open, be concerned for your safety (Safety)

I know they gon' hate me
