Down & Out

How can I change when I started wit a dollar
Keep a smile on my face
Just to get through all my problems
Promised mama imma make it
She feel like I broke my promise
She tell me that I ain’t shit
That shit be weighing on my conscious
Down and out, when it come to money
You gone see the real
Down and out, family no different
Than a friend, keep it real
Down and out, I den been wit it
And I den been without
But the struggle ain’t forever
I know imma turn it out
We get into it almost everyday
Cause she can’t get a enough
Sometimes I just say fuck it
I feel like just giving up
Cause she don’t appreciate the shit I did
Appreciate the shit I do
Mask on just to see my future
When I’m making moves
All my people proud of me
Most of my people doubted me
Remember back at Madison dancing
Them niggas clowning me
Remember fell in love wit a bitch
Just on some stupid shit
Me and them niggas doing hits
I repent for my stupidness
What would you do if you penniless (no money in yo pocket)
Can’t get a job, inexperienced (what you gon do about it)
Make a decision gotta get to that chicken
Because you facing eviction (my nigga facing eviction yeah)
What would you do if you struggling?
Gotta play my cards right
So you know I’m reshuffling
And I try to stand tall but a nigga keep stumbling
But I remain humble through the shit that I’m up against
How can I change when I started wit a dollar
Keep a smile on my face
Just to get through all my problems
Promised mama imma make it
She feel like I broke my promise
She tell me that I ain’t shit
That shit be weighing on my conscious
Down and out, when it come to money
You gone see the real
Down and out, family no different
Than a friend, keep it real
Down and out, I den been wit it
And I den been without
But the struggle ain’t forever
I know imma turn it out
I’m praying for better days
That he take away my bitter ways
Used to follow niggas/
But that’s back before my twitter days
Now I shine bright
Cause I remember I was inna shade
I’m so tired of whipping shooters
Now I’m tryna whip a wraith
Uncle committed sui
He supported my music
I found out love ain’t love
Even if it’s from Cupid
Don’t put ya all into a bitch
Even if she the cutiest
I give my mama every dollar
We still getting into it
And I got people that den crossed me
What’s that about
And they got secrets that I know
But they ain’t leaving my mouth
A friendly face can be ya enemy
So don’t lose grip
I’ll rather be, judged by 12
Then carried by 6
They know I, been keeping It real
Been keeping It real
Man it ain’t hard to stay solid
And just keep it a bill
Two for a dollar chips wit noodles
That I bought wit a bill
That nigga started wit a dollar
He ain’t changing for real
How can I change when I started wit a dollar
Keep a smile on my face
Just to get through all my problems
Promised mama imma make it
She feel like I broke my promise
She tell me that I ain’t shit
That shit be weighing on my conscious
Down and out, when it come to money
You gone see the real
Down and out, family no different
Than a friend, keep it real
Down and out, I den been wit it
And I den been without
But the struggle ain’t forever
I know imma turn it out
