Lyrics

Flawed and honest—that's been my motto
Unscathed but tarnished, pain I still swallow
They listen close but overlook the screams
The message that I'm spitting lives inside the seams
From New York's highs to L.A.'s alley scenes
I'm a broken track of unrealized dreams
What feels right to me might end enemies
Serenade a girl just for the energy
Then cut the cord—I'm done feeling things
Mind shut, eyes wide, cold to what life brings
The first truth is often casually said
But the last lie you speak could hang you by a thread
Tell the world what you really know
To the kids—there's more than they show
To the Kingpins—your fall's been foretold
To the lost men—I feel your broken soul
Tell the world, yeah, let it echo
To the women—don't be a side show
To the mamas whose pain's untold
Avoid the drama of the baby daddy show
Hold up, hold up, hold up—
Did I make a million? (Hell no)
Am I drowning in debt? (Oh no)
I just cashed my check—(Let's go!)
Hold up, hold up, hold up—
Did I make a million? (Hell no)
Am I drowning in debt? (Oh no)
I just cashed my check—(Let's go!)
Paying bills? Man, that's for suckers
Wanna make big chips? Chill, my brother
Abandon your faith, forget the divine
Chase the bag, not love—just grind
Don't need nobody, just watch the glow
But before you know it—you're getting old
And truth be told
You sold your soul
Now you're rich in regrets
But broke and alone
Hold up, Hold up, Hold up
I finally made a million (Let's go)
Should I spend it on the children? (Oh No)
Got a new chick catching feelings (Hell No)
Hold up, Hold up, Hold up
I finally made a million (Let's go)
Should I spend it on the children? (Oh No)
Got a new chick catching feelings (Hell No)
Back up, back up, back up—
I've seen brothers slit each other's throats
All over greed and them presidential notes
I've seen sisters trade their soul for hope
Looking for a real man—just trying to cope
While baby daddy's pushing a Caddy
Clockwork hustle, bags in the backseat
Others eating good off that stock work
Flipping tech plays, now they network
Don't hate the player—blame the game
But living as a victim? That brings no gain
I've been counting my chickens, praying for change
Just hoping this next check's my golden egg
Did I make a million?
Am I drowning in debt?
I just cashed my check
Tell the world what you really know
To the kids—there's more than they show
To the Kingpins—your fall's been foretold
To the lost men—I feel your broken soul
Tell the world, yeah, let it echo
To the women—don't be a side show
To the mamas whose pain's untold
Avoid the drama of the baby daddy show
Hold up, hold up, hold up—
Did I make a million? (Hell no)
Am I drowning in debt? (Oh no)
I just cashed my check—(Let's go!)
Hold up, Hold up, Hold up
I finally made a million (Let's go)
Should I spend it on the children? (Oh No)
Got a new chick catching feelings (Hell No)
Hold up, hold up, hold up
