lyrics

I was born poor I can't die poor 
I need to do more I need to do more 
They picked me up and dropped me on the floor 
Keep pushing till these cats can't ignore
 
What the fuck I look like taking advice 
From dudes who ain't do nothin' You ain't paid the price 
Parasite minds, y'all just like lice 
A follower of Jesus did betray Christ
The truth is closer than u looking
The proof is right there in the pudding 
I looked afar and beyond had no clue then
Some brothers woke fighting for what truth is
Some others out here looting
My homie cut me off said Ion believe in God 
Shit ironic man of faith I do even the odds 
My path got dark I still move with God
His path got dark I told him trust in God
But Pressure burst pipes and it caused a flood
Seeing ma talent you gon think bread ain't my problem though 
Stomach rumblings extra mouths to feed though 
Shit taking long hair like Rapunzel 
Either ways the last shall be the first ball like Melo uhh

I was born poor I can't die poor 
I need to do more I need to do more 
They picked me up and dropped me on the floor 
Keep pushing till these cats can't ignore
I was born poor I can't die poor 
I need to do more I need to do more 
They picked me up and dropped me on the floor 
Keep pushing till these cats can't ignore

What the fuck I look like taking advice 
I done kept my course straight the whole menu stayed rice 
I done gave nigga's my all in return get despised 
These followers of Jesus did betray Christ 
Since a nigga came abroad still a lot that I can't afford 
Köln Bremen back and forth 
Still its looking not enough 
Baby needs new winter boots 
Mummy out grew her suits 
I need to do more I need to do more
My nigga who is 29 brags 'bout his fathers riches 
I got cut opened a lot last time had 7 stitches 
When kid sister passed it break my heart in pieces
She up there watching me turn all these rags to riches
About the Art and that every time I make a beat 
Passionate when I rhyme Every time I speak on it 
I just wanna build a house next to my momma house 
Then move my momma from her former house to a better house

I was born poor I can't die poor 
I need to do more I need to do more 
They picked me up and dropped me on the floor 
Keep pushing till these cats can't ignore
I was born poor I can't die poor 
I need to do more I need to do more 
They picked me up and dropped me on the floor 
Keep pushing till these cats can't ignore
I was born poor I can't die  
I need to do more I
They picked me up and dropped  
Keep pushing till these cats can't ignore
