Lyrics

Truthfully
Before all of that shit, family comes first
And that's where you gain all your roots and your worth
I think my fathers' side probably was hit with a curse
From the shit over the years that I've endured
I'm only 23
At 11, I already matured
My parents were at work more than they was at home
That's why I'm so chill, now that I'm grown
More focused on financially building a throne
And getting more wiser over the time that is given in a society where sinning and repentin' seems like the main tradition
But I ain't trippin'
Livin' life, eatin' good, maintainin'
Me and my queen tight, so no more name blamin'
Or arguing over some stupid shit
We more like Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Moving on some back to back shit, she got a mind of her own
You know that a king without a queen won't reign for long
So it's like one for the money
Two for show
Three for the love
Four for the smoke
Five for them queens that hold you down through the cold
When you in a drought, and your paper don't fold
That's a cleopatra, don't lose your diamond to some hoes
Don't lose your diamond to some hoes, you betta
Listen to your woman, she'll turn your goals into gold
She'll turn your goals into gold, uh
And she hold a **** down
Let you know whenever someone aimin' at the crown
She the reason my heart gotta sound
Not a sap ****, just not afraid to show my shawty that I'm passionate about our goals and dreams happenin'
She helped me beat my habits when I thought my life was going to end
If you put your pride aside, you can see
Women got all of the gems
From motivation to encouraging **** to no longer be basic and how to move in this matrix
How the fuck you gon' shift the nation if your heart complacent?
No longer can I let this ignorance strip me naked
Went from sittin' around high, lookin' lost, then my girl taught me opportunity cost
Now I spend my time on shit that matter
Ain't nobody in this world gon' give you a silver platter
When a real **** gotta go provide for his own, a true ride or die wanna see you pull the sword out the stone
So it's like one for the money
Two for show
Three for the love
Four for the smoke
Five for them queens that hold you down through the cold
When you in a drought, and your paper don't fold
That's a cleopatra, don't lose your diamond to some hoes
Don't lose your diamond to some hoes, you betta
Listen to your woman, she'll turn your goals into gold
She'll turn your goals into gold, uh
