Uh, worth so fucking much, my greatest fear is I'ma die alone
Every diamond in my chain, yeah, that's a milestone
People calling me, asking me for money, man
The only thing I'ma give you motherfuckers is the dial tone
Flashbacks of a youngin' sipping that purple Kool-Aid
Skipping school with my homies in chief of Rifa for two [C#m] days
Running from the law, living how I'm living
Fuck them all, bumping triple six
Hennessy in my cup, driving through the sticks
[C#] Who the bitch riding with me?
Man, the devil trying to get me
Motivated, undereducated, a hater
I'm finally getting cake like an Abbey-related bitch, I made it, we on
Buy it, break it, roll it, light it, smoke it, inhibit, write it
Record it, mix it, lacerate, press it up, unveil it
Feel like I've been waiting forever, forever to [Em] inherit
This is war, I [C#m] declare it, time is money, I can't spare it
Futuristic, so simplistic, please decipher my linguistics

I swore I told my [G#] assistant
But I guess my [G#m] mind is in another place
[A] Thoughts off in another [F#] world
I started seeing [B] another girl, it fell through
Man, what a world
[G#m] But I'm so focused on [A] my craft
[A#] On employing my [B] staff
Such a perfectionist, I can't even finish [G#m] this draft
This letter to [A] the ones I love, [F#] the ones that I miss
[B] Brothers and sisters that hit me [C#] up just to reminisce
Meanwhile, people outside of my [D#m] blood asking for favors
I don't owe you [F#] a fucking thing, [A#] you can switch your behavior
Truly [C#m] remarkable how I [F#] barely know you
But [D#m] somehow I owe you and [G#m] you don't [A#] even know
About this shit I go through, uh
We ain't spoken [C#m] in a while
Tell me sister, [B] how your child?
Come now girl, [Bm] give me a [A#] smile
Come on girl, don't do me foul
Sorry I ain't called before
[F#] But I'm calling [D#m] you right now

How my mama, how she [F#] doing?
Does she know what I'm pursuing?
I ain't talked to her in years, that [A#] relationship she warned
But [C#] sometimes I wake up and wonder just what the [D#m] fuck I'm doing
[B] They say [F#] family is everything, I swear that [D] shit the truth
I should spend [F#] it all with y'all, but I spent [D#m] it in the booth
This [B] is [F#] everything I love, this is [A#] everything I need
Never sacrifice this feeling [D#m] even though my heart bleed
This is everything [A#] I love, _ everything I need

Skipping school with my homies in chief of Rifa for two [C#m] days
Running from the law, living how I'm living
Fuck them all, bumping triple six
Hennessy in my cup, driving through the sticks
[C#] Who the bitch riding with me?
Man, the devil trying to get me
Motivated, _ undereducated, a hater
I'm finally getting cake like an Abbey-related bitch, I made it, we on
