Unfortunate for me I couldn't afford to be fortunate. s*** more like the kid misfortune never missed. According to the landlord I'm poor as p***, trying to get this porridge recording hits. The down low: I only show support in this, but ya'll really don't know how the touring gets. But I just didn't come here to moan and b****, grown folks spittin' for our own kid's benefits. It's the return of the poor man's rap for those who don't own homes, off-c**e rap. I rein enough love so we showin' now to them old school cats now broke from rap. As most see the poor then most emcees ignore what most these emcees were born and grew up poor. While we slave in the ol' work force and pay for a government that don't work for us.
Oh my.
Oh, just tryin' to get by
Lord I'm so tired
Of fightin' to get mine
Trying to get my
Dough right
Lord, if not lately
It don't faze me if
Poor I,
Cause I make money
Money don't make me
Fortunately I believe that we can all agree it is what it is not what we thought it'd be and if what I lived ain't what I call it to be I must've miss-trained my psychology. And it's a mystery, ain't it; exists among the miss-created history just like a chain without a destination. We need food clothes and shelter so we hustle till we old and helpless. And if you do only go for the gold and wealth you still alone cause you don't know yourself. At the end of the day still gotta eat still gotta feed the kids still gotta light and heat the crib. I understand that nobody planned that and single mothers askin' where the f*** their man at. but like that ad that we do it for love from student to gov. from school to the clubs, it goes:
