[Verse 1]
I hate rich niggas goddammit
Cause I ain't never had a lot dammit
Who you had to kill
Who you had to rob
Who you had to fuck just to make it to the top dammit.
Or maybe that's daddy money
Escalator no ladder money
Escalating new caddy money
Worst fear going broke cause I'm bad with money.
Crookest smile nigga momma never had the money damn
I ain't trippin'
A nigga Jordan I ain't Pippen yeah
Up the steps I ain't slippin'
Tears blood sweat I ain't crippled
A song you can sing along with when you down so I let you know you ain't alone shit
When you momma ain't at home cause she got a second job delivering pizzas you think she out there getting robbed
Please God watch her I know how niggas do
Half cracker but a nigga too.
Talking all that shit 'bout your step-pops how he was a dog now look at you.
I ain't bad as that nigga plus dawg I'm a grown man now. I ain't mad at that nigga.
But if a plane crash and only it killed his lame ass I'd be glad as that nigga.
Did caine dirty now it's back to broke
Refund check she was (?)
Momma gets depressed falls in love with the next maniac on crack use that (?)
Make a nigga smoke a whole sack of dope
Writing rhymes tryna bring back the hope
Try to ride the storm out and crash the boat could of drowned but I grabbed the rope.
Nigga who you x 3
Selling me dreams and telling me things you knew
X2
Said, you got what I want
You got what I need
How much for your soul and uh
How much for your soul and uh
X2
[Verse 2]
I hate rich niggas goddammit
Cause I ain't never had a lot dammit
Niggas can't front on the flows you got
But every fucking verse how much dough you got
Homie, don't quit now (?)
Know you felt the shit just now
Know you felt the shit just now
(?)
Don't it ever get boring(?) to you?
I realize deep down you a coward getting high off of power
So I threw you (?)
Wanted the respect but it came with fame
I just wanted love but it just ain't the same
I took a train down memory lane and watching little Jermaine do his thang before he made a name it's like (?) gave it all he got now the nigga don't (?) the same.
I guess he can't complain
All the money that be raining in
Spend a hundred thou for the chain again
Thinking old school niggas like?
Probably kill for another claim to fame?
Yeah nigga
At least he ain't insane x2
You ain't crazy motherfucker you just afraid of change.
That's new
Maybe that's true
But listen here I got a bigger fear
Of one day that I become you.
And I become lost and I become heartless
And numb from all the M
