Tony Famous - Checks & Balance lyrics

Verse 1 Every other Thursday waiting for this check And blowing through it quickly how soon I forget Eating Ramen like every day of the week I been trying to save for this album but gotta ball for my peeps Peep, some of my homies less fortunate And they don't like to show their struggle on the net So I may pay a couple bills at their address To show em that their loyalty's the major cause of my success Wait, these Friday nights leave the crib a mess Red solos and stained polos The world sleeping on us guess my n***as taking no doze Til they see Sway, El Che, and Lu in photos Oh no, I guess the camera always on you when you go pro The new flows just as wavy as that logo Apologies to my white fans, I like tans, but baby I'm in love with coa coa I'm loco My big homies say I need to chill, but f** it ima keep it real I like getting paid I remember we were starving and my parents couldn't feed us so I promised we were never going back to them days Remember huddled under covers with my brothers, we was freezing Bed at 7pm 'cause ain't no food for eating Mama always crying, daddy why you leaving? And dreaming in that bottom bunk that maybe we could find some luck Chorus You gone get that check x2 You gone get that check, but what happens next? Please don't lose your balance, boy don't lose your balance They gone try to knock you over but don't lose your balance Money come and go x2 But spend it with your mind and not the ones you know Please don't lose your balance, boy don't lose your balance They gone try to knock you over but don't lose your balance Verse I remember being bullied at my school 'cause being poor and smart just wasn't cool I remember being rude and talking back just to get a couple laughs, and I got em I remember being jealous of my brothers 'cause I felt like I ain't have real friends And I don't remember drinking every week 'cause that's how I chose to deal with it And so it goes Old friends turn to foes Fake sh** get exposed Fake J's and Girbauds Fake n***as having babies Fake b**hes getting chose Now they breeding fake kids how they raise Pinocchio, Oh! Well I guess that's how the story goes One day you got it all, the next day you don't High school feeling like the Steve Harvey Show Friends catching bullets in the head, word to Romeo Oh no, mama save me from this nightmare Oh no, the city singing rest in peace to Blair Oh no, they took my homie Spade this sh** unfair Oh no, they took my brother this sh** hitting home Oh no, these stray bullets keep on hitting homes Oh no, now shorty lost because his father gone Oh no, I need to leave before I lose my dome Oh no, that's why we hustle til we earn our throne Chorus So go and get that check, go and get that check Go and get that check, but what happens next? Please don't lose your balance, boy don't lose your balance They gone try to knock you over but don't lose your balance Money come and go x2 But spend it with your mind and not the ones you know Please don't lose your balance, boy don't lose your balance They gone try to knock you over but don't lose your balance Outro Boy don't lose your balance They gone try to knock you over but don't lose your balance Money come and go x2 But spend it with your mind and not the ones your know Oh no... Oh no... 'Cause money come and go, money come and go So spend it with your mind and not the ones you know
