Like Penny Hardaway
This shit won't easy learned the harder way
Knew that someday I'd be the one just like Penny Hardaway
But this shit ain't magic took some losses moved the smarter way
Got my money up said we gone eat we ain't gone starve today
Yea
I remember sleeping on the floor
Yea my grandma took me in when I ain't have no place to go
So I swear that I love her cause ain't no other place called home
Yea
Feel like I been out here on my own
Trying to make my way to the top and put my whole family on
I'm trying to handle some business so please don't try to call my phone
Don't care about burning them bridges cause they won't with me all along
Yea
This shit won't easy learned the harder way
Knew that someday I'd be the one just like Penny Hardaway
But this shit ain't magic took some losses moved the smarter way
Got my money up said we gone eat we ain't gone starve today
Yea
This shit won't easy learned the harder way
Knew that someday I'd be the one just like Penny Hardaway
But this shit ain't magic took some losses moved the smarter way
Got my money up said we gone eat we ain't gone starve today
Yea
They don't love you in this world you know this shit get dangerous
I'm from a place where you know you got to keep your banger tucked
I'm from a place where you watch your back from ones who say it's love
I'm from a place where you give your all but still it ain't enough
So just watch me pull up in a Benz
They gone love me in the end
She though I was green but nah lil baby we ain't no close friends
We ain't talking about the money then you know I just don't comprehend
She only worth fifty cents cause she done been with many men
She only worth fifty cents cause she done been with many men
Yea
This shit won't easy learned the harder way
Knew that someday I'd be the one just like Penny Hardaway
But this shit ain't magic took some losses moved the smarter way
Got my money up said we gone eat we ain't gone starve today
Yea

Knew that someday I'd be the one just like Penny Hardaway
But this shit ain't magic took some losses moved the smarter way
Got my money up said we gone eat we ain't gone starve today

I can show you why ain't none of your niggas really fucking with you
I can explain why your friends aren't really supportive of you
I can show your ass a digger
I can expose your flaws or reveal the truth about you
Heard you think you authentic but
You may believe you are real or true, but that might not be the case
Heard the streets beg to differ
Community opinion contradicts your own perception of yourself
Heard you went and tried to model yourself after a winner
You attempted to replicate someone else's success but failed
Pack up it's sold
Accept defeat and move on
Can't make the cut you should leave it alone
If you can't succeed, it's best to not pursue it
Flexing your rent and your tax you exposed
Revealing your financial struggles and lack of authenticity
Had it so long you can sell off the mold
You've had the item for so long it's become worthless
All this new money man why your shit old
Questioning the source of someone's wealth
Hand you was dealt I suggest you to fold
Accept the bad hand you were given and move on
Try to rob me better not come alone
Don't attempt to steal from me as I am well-prepared
Look at the curtains see nothing but toes
Indicating someone is unfamiliar with their surroundings
But honestly though
Speaking sincerely
I don't know nobody
I don't know anyone who can vouch for you
Or who know about it
Nor do I know anything about your situation
I got maybes probables
I have some doubts and uncertainties
They got pocket rockets
Referring to individuals who are armed and dangerous
You can get these hands
I'll fight you if necessary
Bruce Lee with karate
Comparing oneself to a skilled fighter
Oprah Winfrey calling
Referencing someone wealthy and powerful
She said everybody
Implying someone has widespread support
I've been through the cycles
Experiencing a repeated pattern of events
Shout out Kawasaki
Referencing a popular motorcycle brand
I don't need a plug
Not requiring assistance from anyone else
Bitch I need the socket
Need the necessary resources to accomplish my goals
Hear the middle man
The intermediary in a transaction
At the end it's silent
Once the transaction is complete, there is no need for further communication
You ain't talking money
If you're not discussing finances, I'm not interested in conversing with you
Get the fuck from around me
Leave my presence if you're not discussing money
