[Intro Chatter] This instrumental called my heart I was recording conversations in the car And I knew that this would be the perfect start This music a mothaf**ing art Let me take you back to 1995 The day that I was blessed with this life In my momma arms tears in my momma eyes Smiles everywhere, happy that i'm alive Four years later laying in my daddy bed I woke my momma up round 3 AM My momma heard me talking so she listened very close I was sleep talking this is what I said If it don't make dollars then it don't make sense I was 4 years old on my grown man sh** Ever since then that's been my mantra Get the cash ASAP ALWAYS STRIVE AND PROSPER Daddy was a lucky man Real good at gamblin' Ran the streets with the dice He was known for hustlin' But he knew where he came from Forever stayed a humble man He would give money to bums that was strugglin' 4 years later auntie roll up to my school School was out for hours she was way past due She never showed up so I knew bad news Me and my brother Richard hopped in and ZOOM We asked what's wrong Her voice was blank Auntie pulled up to the house Slammed the brakes My momma out the door Tears running down her face She yelling Richard gone Your dad pa**ed away We were lost in translation Didn't know what to say My brother was 10 and I was 8 We couldn't move Ran out the car and fell to my momma legs I ain't wanna believe my daddy was really dead I know it sounds crazy but the one thing I believe This is exactly how my life was supposed to be I'm super lucky that's why I go by Lucky Meech But luck is just another word for destiny The air is my paper and my voice is the pen Ima do whatever I can to get my ends I know that ima make it somehow someway And you can gaurentee that i'm gon get paid
