[Chorus] I put in work in the holiday I gotta go get it right away From the bottom, gotta find a way Momma said "We gon' see better days" We get so high, 'cause we seen the low What goes to my head nobody knows Anxiety keep me on my toes You can lie to me, but I already know ni**as ain't ate, so they keep a nine ni**as gon' hate because deep inside They know they dead, they don't feel alive Rather be dead than have never have tried fu*k "What I want", it's about "What I need" High off the killy and drunk of weed My hood different, can't coincidе My ni**as with it and so am I [Verse 1] My ni**as with it and so am I That ain't our crib, but we go inside Riskin' my life for thе dollar sign It's not what I want, but it's what I need I pray to God that nobody gotta bleed If they gotta bleed, hope nobody sees They gon' have to go, like the light is green God gotta know that I got a soul, but my pockets low And I gotta see that I gotta feed So I co*k this low and try not to sneeze So I count to three 'fore I break down this the door Sayin' payers to the Lord Lord please forgive us for our sins [Chorus] I put in work in the holiday I gotta go get it right away From the bottom, gotta find a way Momma said "We gon' see better days" We get so high, 'cause we seen the low What goes to my head nobody knows Anxiety keep me on my toes You can lie to me, but I already know ni**as ain't ate, so they keep a nine ni**as gon' hate because deep inside They know they dead, they don't feel alive
Rather be dead than have never have tried fu*k "What I want", it's about "What I need" High off the killy and drunk of weed My hood different, can't coincide My ni**as with it and so am I [Verse 2] And right now I'm feelin' it more than ever It's December, it's one of the coldest winters before Christmas My son was gifted, but that's not enough He deserve the world, how I'm gonna get it Durin' pandemic, my girl got fired Tats on my neck, so I can't get hired Wasn't blessed enough to grip a mic Wasn't meant to ball 'cause I ain't got the height So that's that, I put down the mop and I pick up a map I'ma find out where the rich ni**as at Somehow the one percent gonna get taxed I know some boys with positions that match So round 'em up, we pray to Jesus no one gets to bleedin' Sadly it's eat or be eaten It's not what we wanted, it's what we needed [Chorus] I put in work in the holiday I gotta go get it right away From the bottom, gotta find a way Momma said "We gon' see better days" We get so high, 'cause we seen the low What goes to my head nobody knows Anxiety keep me on my toes You can lie to me, but I already know ni**as ain't ate, so they keep a nine ni**as gon' hate because deep inside They know they dead, they don't feel alive Rather be dead than have never have tried fu*k "What I want", it's about "What I need" High off the killy and drunk of weed My hood different, can't coincide My ni**as with it and so am I
