How much a dollar really cost? |
[00:25.050] |
The question is detrimental paralyzin' my thoughts |
[00:27.640] |
Parasites in my stomach keep me with a good feeling y'all |
[00:30.350] |
Gotta see how I'm chillin' once I park this luxury car |
[00:33.080] |
Hopping out feeling big as Mutombo |
[00:34.860] |
20 on pump six dirty Marcellus called me Dumbo |
[00:37.490] |
20 years ago can't forget |
[00:39.130] |
Now I can lend all my ear or two how to stack these residuals |
[00:41.930] |
Tenfold the liberal concept of what men'll do |
[00:44.750] |
20 on 6 he didn't hear me |
[00:46.530] |
Indigenous African only spoke Zulu |
[00:48.390] |
My American tongue was slurry |
[00:50.230] |
Walked out the gas station |
[00:51.310] |
A homeless man with a silly tan complexion |
[00:53.480] |
Asked me for ten grand |
[00:54.470] |
Stressin' about dry land |
[00:56.220] |
Deep water powder blue skies that crack open |
[00:58.220] |
A piece of crack that he wanted I knew he was smokin' |
[01:00.770] |
He begged and pleaded |
[01:01.630] |
Asked me to feed him twice I didn't believe it |
[01:03.550] |
Told him "Beat it" |
[01:04.680] |
Contributin' money just for his pipe I couldn't see it |
[01:07.210] |
He said "My son temptation is one thing that I've defeated |
[01:10.630] |
Listen to me I want a single bill from you |
[01:13.140] |
Nothin' less nothin' more |
[01:14.560] |
I told him I ain't have it and closed my door |
[01:16.580] |
Tell me how much a dollar cost |
[01:17.880] |
|
[01:20.790] |
It's more to feed your mind |
[01:25.180] |
|
[01:26.140] |
Water sun and love the one you love |
[01:32.040] |
|
[01:32.930] |
All you need the air you breathe |
[01:37.870] |
|
[01:39.700] |
He's starin' at me in disbelief |
[01:41.580] |
My temper is buildin' he's starin' at me I grab my key |
[01:44.310] |
He's starin' at me I started my car and tried to leave |
[01:46.820] |
And somethin' told me to keep it in park until I could see |
[01:49.550] |
A reason why he was mad at a stranger like |
[01:51.400] |
I was supposed to save him |
[01:52.700] |
Like I'm the reason he's homeless and askin' me for a favor |
[01:55.660] |
He's starin' at me his eyes followed me with no laser |
[01:58.350] |
He's starin' at me I notice that his stare is contagious |
[02:01.200] |
Cause now I'm starin' back at him feelin' some type of disrespect |
[02:04.010] |
If I could throw a bat at him it'd be aimin' at his neck |
[02:06.790] |
I never understood someone beggin' for goods |
[02:09.510] |
Askin' for handouts takin' it if they could |
[02:12.100] |
And this particular person just had it down pat |
[02:14.580] |
Starin' at me for the longest until he finally asked |
[02:17.550] |
Have you ever opened to Exodus 14? |
[02:19.880] |
A humble man is all that we ever need |
[02:21.990] |
Tell me how much a dollar cost |
[02:23.530] |
|
[02:26.060] |
It's more to feed your mind |
[02:30.540] |
|
[02:31.630] |
Water sun and love the one you love |
[02:37.800] |
|
[02:38.350] |
All you need the air you breathe |
[02:43.680] |
|
[02:45.520] |
Guilt trippin' and feelin' resentment |
[02:47.320] |
I never met a transient that demanded attention |
[02:49.860] |
They got me frustrated indecisive and power trippin' |
[02:52.570] |
Sour emotions got me lookin' at the universe different |
[02:55.370] |
I should distance myself I should keep it relentless |
[02:58.100] |
My selfishness is what got me here who the fuck I'm kiddin'? |
[03:00.920] |
So I'ma tell you like I told the last bum crumbs and pennies |
[03:03.680] |
I need all of mines and I recognize this type of panhandlin' all the time |
[03:07.410] |
I got better judgement I know when nigga's hustlin' |
[03:09.480] |
Keep in mind when I was strugglin' I did compromise |
[03:12.250] |
Now I comprehend I smell grandpa's old medicine |
[03:14.920] |
Reekin' from your skin moonshine and gin |
[03:17.190] |
Nigga your babblin' your words ain't flatterin' I'm imaginin' |
[03:20.070] |
Denzel be lookin' at O'Neal |
[03:22.350] |
Cause now I'm in sad thrills your gimmick is mediocre the jig is up |
[03:25.750] |
I seen you from a mile away losin' focus |
[03:27.830] |
And I'm insensitive and I lack empathy |
[03:30.440] |
You looked at me and said "Your potential is bittersweet" |
[03:33.070] |
I looked at him and said "Every nickel is mines to keep" |
[03:35.790] |
He looked at me and said "Know the truth it'll set you free |
[03:38.560] |
You're lookin' at the Messiah the son of Jehova the higher power |
[03:41.640] |
The choir that spoke the word the Holy Spirit the nerve |
[03:44.680] |
Of Nazareth and I'll tell you just how much a dollar cost |
[03:47.280] |
The price of having a spot in Heaven embrace your loss I am God" |
[03:50.680] |
|
[03:51.520] |
I wash my hands I said my grace what more do you want from me? |
[03:56.270] |
|
[03:57.230] |
Tears of a clown guess I'm not all what is meant to be |
[04:01.790] |
|
[04:02.420] |
Shades of grey will never change if I condone |
