You see a nigga running out of hope now
I pray to God I could find my soul now
Aye when I smile i'm just hiding a whole lot
They wonder why I don't cry no mo' now
(Kiddo)
A 9 to 5 don't provide no mo'
I'm getting high just to cloud my lows
Ima die for my pride alone
So if you crying, you ain't crying alone
Verse 1
(Kiddo)
I know you going through it
But you ain't the only one stressing in the streets
I done been through so much pain
But I chose to keep it discreet
I thought the world was finna end
Lost Vontae and Rick in twenty ten
Thought bout quitting, stayed to myself
And isolated from my friends
Money was low, so was my hope
Needed guidance, somewhere to go
And through it all, never slipped or fall
I stayed down on my ten toes
You gon' make it quote from my spirit
I wish you niggas could hear it
You know the feeling of having yo mom
Smiling at you, singing yo lyrics, well I do
She said baby you got talent
Hope you know that, yeah I knew
And mama i'm sorry for hitting licks
And the pain I put you through
And all that talking back and disrespectful things I said to you
But all the mistakes, that I done made, was great
Cuz that's what made me grew
Gotta get a deal, the reason i'm spitting ether
All my family members stuck in Haiti, ain't no visa
I just move with the flow, no telling where ima go
All I need is one yes to overcome all my no's

Verse 2
(Monk)
Yea….. dawg…. check it
I'm tryna get my blessings
God been calling but my fucking phone been disconnected
See I apologize for talking like i'm living reckless
But being broke could make angry and so disrespectful
Success gon' change you but you gotta change to get successful
And that's a problem cuz my circumstances kinda hurt my chances
Plus the certain habits I have causing more than minor damage
I would be mad rich if I could put the dope down
I'm living fast and a nigga tryna slow down
Why I do I act when I know that I don't know how
I should be mad that i'm looking for some hope now
My homie hurting and it hurt me cuz I couldn't help em
How I do I get my shit together without me looking selfish
Me and my baby mama living at my mama crib
My kids ain't old enough to notice that the struggle real
All the money I done made i'm really hustling still
Soon as I touch some bills, it's going to some fucking bills
