[Chorus]
I gota get this money man I gota get this paper now ,
I got watch my back .
Cuz these haters are trying to take me down,
I gota ride I gota fly.
they keep getting close to me,
Cuz in there eyes.
The sky is where I'm suppose to be.
[Verse]
I grew up with no money my family was broke as s***. my mother was on welfare,
and my father
well he didn't exist.
More or less,
Growing up as hard as hell,
and roaches came with the life I was living,
every night
had to sleep with the lights on in the kitchen,
I was a young dude forced to play to hand i was dealt. when it came to punishment,
my hand was the only hand that I felt.
government cheese came in blocks,
I wasn't proud of those food coupons,
I remember when I started 8th grade
And graduated with the same shoes on
but I didn't care
I held my head high and kept a smile on my face.
the only people I ain't hang around.
were the ones who smiled in my face.
my attire was out of style, so no one really like the kid. now my entire attire got a style.
now everybody likes the kid,
growing up recognition was hard to get,
I spent half of my life
just trying to figure out who my father is.
[Chorus]
I gota get this money man I gota get this paper now
I gota watch my back
Cuz the haters trying to take me down
I gota ride I gota fly.
They keep getting close to me,
Cuz in there eyes.
The sky is where I'm suppose to be.
[Verse]
There's a thin line between love and hate, hate and love. I'm a grind to the day that I face a judge. Lots of people act like they hate the buzz. Until their face is near that plate, about to taste the drugs.I ain't never had a father I could really call my own. or a roof above my head I could really call a home. a lot of people faking like they spoon wasn't plastic, like them dishes in the sink,they were eating food off wasn't plastic .straigt facts, so many people nowadays bait traps.nothing I shoot ricochets, im the opposite of a rat.i ain't got shit to say.
[Chorus]
I gota get this money man I gota get this paper now.
I gota watch my back.
Cuz these haters trying to fake me down.
I gota ride I gota fly.
They keep getting close to me,
Cuz in there eyes,
the sky is where I'm suppose to be.
