Keep The Change

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Here I go again, I back out The driveway on Fridays, I blackout Too many bars I know they only talk about my scars But I doubt they ever see the pain when riding in these cars That I'm in the backseat of Fifteen feet up, my ambition, the heater Somebody gotta keep me level-headed I was beat up in middle school for everything while I read up I wonder what my hometown would be without a leader Shit, most of them ain't got change for the meter Tell your home girl wish I could meet her, but I got a girl at home And I've been working on bettering our relationshit It frustrate me when they tell me To invest my time into all these hoes, they just hoes I've seen them on the internet a million times fold But they tryna put me in a blindfold And I'm tryna bring light to 'em, light to 'em I mean, I'm tryna bring life to 'em And why they always giving me advice? Ya know, like About my principles and shit I'm doing, like Like I don't know, fuck 'em [Bridge 1] What's a man without some principles to stand by? A good girl beat a bad bitch by a landslide They'll never know about your life through a three minute song So when you gotta tell 'em leave ya alone, they'll take it wrong [Pre-Chorus] They always try to fuck with me They always try to fuck with me I'm on the interstate road, doing 150 With all the memories that's stuck with me [Chorus] I'm just tryna live life, I'm just tryna live life Man, I'm just tryna live life Everybody got they two cent for me But don't ever wanna do shit for me, y'all can keep yo' change 'cause I'm just tryna live life Man, I'm just tryna live life Everybody got they two cent for me But don't ever wanna do shit for me, y'all can keep yo' change [Verse 2] Coming up from a seed to a grown human bein', that is a blessin' An opportunity to make cheese, that's a blessin' All this hatin' on me that's depressin', like damn What the fuck did I do to deserve a brick coming straight through my window? Somebody riddle me that Lately, I roll around literally strapped Like somebody gon' come give me daps, pull out the gat, blat blat! Another story cut short, mane My homies be like, "What for, mane?" Shit, hope my funeral more alive than usual You could feel the energy my soul brang It's like I get on every track with the soul train Nowadays, they don't wanna hear you rap without the gold chain So I pull out the one my father left for me And try to give 'em a taste of my story, man, his last words were: [Bridge 1] What's a man without some principles to stand by? A good girl beat a bad bitch by a landslide They'll never know about your life through a three minute song So when you gotta tell 'em leave ya alone, they'll take it wrong [Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus] [Verse 3] They probably think my life was a walk in the park They don't see the pain that I shed for the art They don't see the long days I was there in the dark Lights cut off Gas bill too, and that's shut off I'm sick of taking cold ass showers I swear, that shit gets to your core It's like, the fuck are you doing this for if you ain't got no power? This rap shit is like a job that got no hours If you ain't got a relevant buzz going on at the time I know some underground cats gon' hate me because I signed But it's like, what should I have done let my momma grind forever? I'm just tryna spend time together Pay the bills when we dine together Make her pockets so straight that she fine forever If y'all can't feel that, well then, the fuck are we talking for? Bitch [Bridge 2] And what's a man without some principles to stand by? A good girl beat a bad bitch by a landslide They'll never know about my life in this five minute song So when you analyze, leave me alone and get gone [Pre-Chorus] They always try and fuck with me But I'd never let 'em fuck with me I'm on the interstate road, doing 150 With all the memories that's stuck with me [Chorus] I'm just tryna live life, live life, word up, ay I'm just tryna live life, live life, word up, word up I'm just tryna live life, live life I'm just tryna live life This for those who got they two cent for me But don't ever wanna do shit for me, y'all can keep yo' change [Outro] Quit fuckin' callin' my phone, askin' for favors and shit Texting me 'bout how we don't chill no more and shit Give me direction, ya know Saying, "Don't forget what you came from" And "Make sure you fuck with me when you back in town" and shit "Oh you never got time for me no more, you different now" and shit Man, I'm just tryna live life
