Lyrics

[Hook] My mama called: "Boy come inside" Food on my plate, love in my eyes I seen bad days, now I don't mind It's gon' be good, we'll be alright [Verse 1] Momma we could be rich like fourth floor Brownstone town home Debt free stress free A nigga got a wish right Boat ride, cold slime, never mind the broke times Imma fly first class, you tell me that coach fine That's where I get it from, I don't need a lot Collard greens, corn bread, I don't need a lot And I eat a lot less when I ain't home BB hey I'm hungry should be coming when the cape strong And if Nanny was alive she would have a fit 'Cause I ain't eat dinner in a week, nothing in the fridge And I been working every day, something gotta give Niggas ain't giving me that raise, but I gotta live Racist motherfuckers giving jobs to they fucking friends Now that think about it it's starting to make a lot of sense If I don't hit the bottle for an hour I be feeling tense Not an alcoholic I just mean that I remember when [Hook] My mama called: "Boy come inside" Food on my plate, love in my eyes I seen bad days, now I don't mind It's gon' be good, we'll be alright [Verse 2] I wanna be Batman, somebody that everybody count on Ride through the city in a cape catching bad guys Taking out my foes and I kick it with my allies Meditating till I congregate with all my past lives Kids looking saying "Daddy I wanna be that guy" But once they know you human you be chastised Heroism over rated All my heroes let me down all the time so I just recede into my mind like Can I really be everything I want? And where the good folks? And is there really love? And if there is a God do he really fuck with us? I been drowning in this devil's spring sitting in my cup like What it really mean? And why I'm on this earth? And if it's 'bout the green Then how much am I worth? I been grinding every day But how much can I work? I be having all these thoughts till I'm seeping in the dirt I remember when [Hook] My mama called: "Boy come inside" Food on my plate, love in my eyes I seen bad days, now I don't mind It's gon' be good, we'll be alright [Verse 3] Yo, I don't even know my momma birthday My brother brand new and all my cousin's down south Up in college with apartments I just feel I'm missing out I see 'em on the 'Gram and I'm just tryna figure out How I got so disconnected who divided up the house Spent a lot of time regretting like fuck it I'm reaching out When I call em it be awkward conversation that we forcing 'Cause you like a different person when you open up ya mouth And that's no fault of your own you just grown, that's the goal I'm just clinging to the past like brillo be to the pad You ain't a li'l kid, you a person with a path We not filling up the water, gun shooting up the Ave My cousin on the pill, I'm like "wasn't you just nine?" Got a nigga feeling old tryna catch up with the time But ya'll be in my thoughts when I'm steady trying to climb Up the ladder to my destiny, I present in these lines [Hook] My mama called: "Boy come inside" Food on my plate, love in my eyes I seen bad days, now I don't mind It's gon' be good, we'll be alright
