[Intro: Meek Mill]
Yeah, la-da-da, la-da-da-da, yeah
[Verse 1: Meek Mill]
I never had a role model
I was loading gold hollows in my little Glock-40
A little shorty, heart colder than December in the morning
And I think it was December when they swarmed me
n***as is jealous, f** can they tell us
With them dreams they try to sell us? Probably why I'm rebellious
To a fraud n***a, I lost n***as when I got paper
It's like more money I made, they got faker
And it's crazy when your best friend turn into your top hater
Wanna roll out on you and smoke you like top paper
Damn, what a feeling when you and your homie chilling
And you know he got thoughts of probably robbing and k**ing you
Momma said don't ever, ever let them belittle you
And stay away from them haters cause they'll riddle you
Last year was like a bad year
Even though I touched more paper than a cashier
Small circle, I ain't never really 'round squares
They say there's levels to this sh**, you n***as downstairs
Different floors for different bosses
Different tours on different jets, my n***as saw
Different city with different b**hes and different who*es
Sometimes I look in the mirror, Meek Milly, this your car?
Look at your arm, check out your neck, look at your charm
And to think my n***as started off with cooking raw
When it was hard the coach told me to get the ball
I step back for the three, watch it go swish and fall
And that was and-one, they thinking how we get this far?
We was just down by three and they thought we took a loss
They couldn't D me like Earl Boykins, I'm sticking soft
Tried to pick me off like Champ Bailey but I'm Randy Moss
And I ran it all for the touchdown, what now?
Gold AP all bust down, f** clowns
[Hook: Meek Mill]
My heart getting cold, and the streets getting colder
They said I wouldn't make it no way
I think my heart getting colder, my heart getting cold
Told them I would make it one day, only Lord knows
[Verse 2: Meek Mill]
Dedicated, determinated and disciplined
When Diddy, Hova, and Baby talking, I'm listening
When I be in the jungle, the Devil be whispering
Slugs flying by me I hear them, they whistling
That was a close call
Stand up n***a so I won't fall
My teacher told me I would never go far
Seen him last week, he was my chauffeur, I was like "told y'all"
Mommy was a booster, daddy was a shooter
So they couldn't blame me when I went and copped a Ruger
Looking at my homies, see the ghost of Freddy Krueger
Cause if he catch you sleeping he's gon' knock out your medulla
Oblongata, I'm a father and my son don't see a lot of
If I don't get he gon' probably end up with a chopper
In a field out in Philly do you feel me?
Told my momma I won't let these haters k** me
Getting high even though it might derail me
And I won't ever let these b**hes see the real me, do you feel me?
Times change like the Rollie did
Now I'm k**ing these n***as the way that Kobe did
[Interlude: Diddy]
Ayo, it gets f**ed up when your own family start calling you up
sh**, money's the root of all evil
Family start telling you "you acting different n***a"
You're goddamn right I'm acting different
With all this motherf**ing money
But then when it comes from your brother, your sister
Your mother, your father, that sh** hurts you to the core man
When they start acting like something that you ain't never motherf**ing seen
You done grew up motherf**er
They gave birth to you, know what I'm saying?
You got raised, you done played in the park with them
This money thing, this sh** will f** you up man
You got to watch what you ask for
You sure you want this son? You sure you want this money?
You sure you want this fame? You sure you want this power?
sh** have your own mama talking to you like you ain't sh**
Yeah everybody want it, everybody need it, money motherf**ers
Get money don't stop but I ain't mad at them
sh**, but sh** even bosses got feelings you know?
Dear mama, dear papa, family, we're all we got
Don't let this money bring us down
sh**, everybody eats B, everybody eats, everybody eats
Let's go, hahahah
[Verse 3: Meek Mill]
Uh, yeah
And we started off as kids, stomach's touching our ribs
And them streets all night like we ain't have nowhere to live
I remember Sundays we ain't have nothing but Liv
Thirty thousand was the tab and you ain't have nothing to give
I ain't trip, I ain't trip, I pour bottles, I ain't sip
I let n***as shine bright, you still act like I ain't sh**?
Let you have them little hoes, they was all on my dick
And your main wanted to f** me n***a, I ain't hit
Twenty chains, eight watches, can't fit on my wrist
When I speak about them things I never said it's my sh**
I said it's ours n***a and when you're ready we're gonna ball n***a
Like Kobe Bryant, Metta Peace and Gasol, n***a
But I know just what I saw n***a
It was envious, you looked sideways and I remembered it
The reason that my heart's cold now on some December sh**
You used to give thanks for giving on some November sh**
Talking about the twenty-fifth, matter of fact the twenty-sixth
Maybe it's the twenty-eighth, f** it though my money's straight
As long as Papi smiling
I'mma be on airplane mode flier than a pilot
I've seen it, I've seen it
Jealousy in your eyes, I swear that look was deceiving
And I was surprised man I ain't want to believe it
You said you would ride but sh**, I know you ain't mean it
But yeah n***a I've seen it
[Hook: Meek Mill]
My heart getting cold, and the streets getting colder
They said I would't make it no way
I think my heart getting colder, my heart getting cold
Told them I would make it one day, only Lord knows
