歌词

[00:23.440] 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
[04:06.810]
[04:07.950] Turn this page help me change so right my wrongs
