Chorus:
rock when I'm reading red letter to the needlehead
words will escape thru your tape recorder
so I stay bleeding red shredding the needlehead
nickel on top cuz I got no quarter
verse 1:
I got to prosper who said this junk would cost your
Family everything they got from the sink to the pot we once used
Cooking some brown beans and rice
But for now I'm PBJing up a handsome slice
I'm sorry wife; I know you're worth more than this
I guess a brother should have spoke up and warned you this
Was in store, but now we got no time to talk
You gotta drive to work while I got mics to rock
It's not fare, we entered in it unprepared
But chances are if I'd told you, you wouldn't have cared
So let's not, worry about the bills the scrills
From all the ill's shows gonna stretch and last until
We blow up, and watch a million people show up
Hearing friends ask when my dreams will be grown up
And stop running with my hip-hop crew
But till that day comes know I got a job to do, I'll just
Chorus:
Verse 2:
Working in the basement trying to get my payment
Every day went trying to pay rent yesterday's spent
So now I'm doing my best to stay alive
Hoping I get a better push than deepspace 5
Uproking, or Im'ma have to call it a day
Hang up my mic, life's turnpike's taking my pay
It's confusing, I know that I'm called but meanwhile
Bills stacking and my mic check bounced the freestyle
Ain't accepted, a Christian emcee feeling neglected
Hectic hell keeping my cell disconnected
But that's the price of rocking for Christ
Giving up material so Im'ma suffice living my life
More abundant, I know it's hard to realize
But simplicity confuses the wise so now my eyes
See riches, cuz knowledge and wisdom is priceless
The wicked storing loot for the righteous so watch me
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Thinking of a master plan
Cuz all I got is sweat inside my hand
So I reach into my pocket all my money is spent
So I dig deeper, but still coming up with lint
