Tom Rothrock - Penniless Thoughts lyrics

[Verse 1] Pennies pissing people's patience Gotta look the right way Like Lincoln did when he saw this was a slave nation With these jacksons in my hand you can see My trail of tears Fears of adolescence coming real near I'm 16 and I'm silent Im 17 and I'm hiding , looking for ways to make it out without being violent More pressure than a fire hydrant, I'm bout to burst Hoodlums yelling get ya money up or we gon put you in the dirt Know yourself, know your worth and know really what hurts They don't wanna see you shine , unless you pull up in a hearse They gave Franklin a blue face, its a coincidence Cuz you could be depressed when you rich or not making sense/cents My debts a stalker , it just never gets lost Its the interest of itself , that's just keeps me with a loss Im the cause that draws to the attention Grinding for the fame just to get a bad reception Reflections of a man who lacks progression Stressin' the things that he destined to do What does he got to lose ? Im George Washington in the flesh One man worth one dollar and they ain't nobody left [Hook] I look up to the sky, nothing was the same Im poor with potential , looking for change Getting puzzled by these problems that I can't rearrange Im poor with potential looking for change We don't got three lives in this game we play Im poor with potential looking for change This is the cycle for disciples who'll remember the name I'm poor with potential, looking for change [Verse 2] Met a bum at wall st. , he been looking for hope Surrounded by the dangers of bad blood and mad dope Turns out, I was looking in the mirror of my fate It wasn't jail but you could tell I was beyond scared straight I contemplate my greatness Been in hiatus, for too long Excuse me for my lateness Found it harder to move on Creases on my sneakers Finds ways to my check Got the super on my neck I put delays on the rent That's a lot of air to take in if you what I mean Paying full for all the things just to get the half of it I never ask for this, its a catalyst For the anger that wants to take a couple of jabs at this I worked a 9-5 shift, that was just my day job It turn my mood from 9-5 then I got laid off With mo money comes with mo problems With less money you a test dummy tryna go through all these problems head on Sometimes I be headstrong Especially when the bets on Wishing I never bet, calling bets off Im close minded but you know I gotta get it People try to take credit too bad I only work debit [Hook] I look up to the sky, nothing was the same Im poor with potential , looking for change Getting puzzled by these problems that I can't rearrange Im poor with potential looking for change We don't got three lives in this game we play Im poor with potential looking for change This is the cycle for disciples who'll remember the name Im poor with potential looking for change [Outro] I'm poor with potential, looking for change (x4)
