Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, It's been a long time comin' I know
Spent a long time runnin', I know
Yeah
I'm 'bout to hit the Money Mart and ask for a loan, motherfucker
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Hey, yo, I'm broke, I don't even got a penny for my thoughts
When I make it, bills take it till I spent all that I got
I try investin' in music till they let me get my spot
It's sad it costs money just to send me to the top
But that's the world we live in, I ain't complainin'
But I never work a dead-end job to make my wages
I was never born into a family that's rich
I could start a fuckin' fire with my hands and two sticks
If I want somethin', I'd actually have to do shit
I guess growin' up fast makes your attitude switch
I rap for therapy and I rap for meals
Your track's embarrassing 'cause you rap for deals
I'm a natural born hustler, I'll sell grass to fields
You say it just to say it, but these setbacks are real
I don't gotta say swag to get that appeal
But I'm broke, so it's hard to not sell crack and steal
[Verse 3]
I've been out here tryin' to turn a penny to a buck
Ain't nobody perfect, but it's better than it was
It's common sense, all these cents add up
But you gotta save a hundred for a dollar, that's rough
I've been out here tryin' to turn a penny to a buck
Ain't nobody perfect, but it's better than it was
It's common sense, all these cents add up
But you gotta save a hundred for a dollar, that's rough
[Verse 4]
I get that feelin' in my stomach when the rent is due
Because there's nothin' left to do, I'm tryin' to chase this revenue
It's in my blood, I'm like the boss of a business
But I don't got all the riches, I gotta walk out and get it
I'd rather hustle with my muscle than be washin' them dishes
Either focus on this music or get locked up in prison
At least then I'll be provided with a pot I can piss in
It's part of the system, statistics say I'm wrongful and twisted
I'm slaughterin' victims, tryin' to make a dollar for meat
I'm tryin' to market my team 'cause we ain't got shit for free
Everybody say they rich, but I ain't buyin' it, no
I couldn't by it if I wanted to, I'm all out of dough
I need paper, boy, and I don't mean the news
When I don't got it, it's a problem, I get violent and confused
All these rappers throwin' money but don't got a lot of skill
I need that Wu-Tang paper, where's them dolla, dolla bills? What's up?
[Verse 5]
I've been out here tryin' to turn a penny to a buck
Ain't nobody perfect, but it's better than it was
It's common sense, all these cents add up
But you gotta save a hundred for a dollar, that's rough
I've been out here tryin' to turn a penny to a buck
Ain't nobody perfect, but it's better than it was
It's common sense, all these cents add up
But you gotta save a hundred for a dollar, that's rough
