[NOLA] NOLA! [Hook] I feel myself sometimes trapped in my own world I feel myself sometimes trapped as a little girl I feel myself sometimes knowing what way I wanna be I feel myself sometimes filled up with envy Cause I can't get a job, should I rob My pockets say yes, my mind is saying you should not But welfare ain't supporting me And this minimum wage is just shorting me [Verse 1] I feel myself sometimes thinking of the crime of the crimes These criminals got me in a criminal state of mind And now I can't maintain, it's overcome my brain The government is loving it when they feel my pain Cause poverty's got our souls bleeding And money is the key to eveybody greeding It's 44 ways to do some dough receiving, when you's a fiend Search for a scheme and the motherf**ing green The lute, now let me throw on my black suit And me and my crew gon' do a robbery or two, but true Cause if you dead I don't really care I'm tired of being broke and f** life just isn't fair Now sit back and thank Let's rob a bank And anybody stepping in the way is gettin sprayed Behave bank teller, where the money dwella I'm sick of cleaning floors for stupid hoes like Cinderella It's getting to the point where I can't deal with myself This is just how I really feel with myself [Hook] [Verse 2] It's off, how you do with your badge and suit Wondering what the f** I am up to, huh Is this a friendly visit Or am I just another black miss statistic, on your sh** list Cause when you look into my eyes can you tell I be disguising myself, for other people's wealth If you can't let me paint a picture of it clear If I'm guilty no questions, lie detections Regrets, only those who chose to cross up in my section, confession I ain't afraid to shoot ya Cause prostitution in the projects seem to be this b**h's only future So put the money in the bag, don't push a bu*ton Making false f**ing moves all of a sudden Even if I hear the wind blow You gon' have a meeting with them nice folks, in the clouds though For sho', I'm tired of being broke busted and disgusted At the end of my rope, labeled as dick s**ing, trick turning ho Stealing a bunch of wallets, spreading violence, silence Listen to the tick-tocking of the clock and Watching the security guard attempting to play it hard No time for fight, once we pull this heist Trying to change my life, if the price is right If the price is right now [Hook] (x2) [NOLA] NOLA! See that's how I be feeling sometimes You be in another state of mind You be trapped in your own little world People can't understand, they wonder why you get high You know what I'm saying you be trying to escape Escape from reality You know you be doing bad, your pockets broke and sh** And people can't relate to how you be feeling
