WORD 4 WORD
Moneybagg Yo Lyrics

I started out small (Small), now I'm worth a couple digits
I began with very little, but now I have a lot of money

Same nigga from the trenches, ain't shit change but my image (nothin')
I am still the same person from the poor area where I grew up, I just look different now

Ay you know sometimes you just writin'
Sometimes I'm just writing without a specific purpose

Smokin' and reflectin' at the same time
I smoke weed and reflect on my life at the same time

Thinkin' 'bout the past, the present, the future
I think about the past, present, and future of my life

Talkin' to yourself, word 4 word
I talk to myself about my thoughts and feelings

(Ayy, facts)
This is true

True it was bad, but could've been worse
My life has been difficult, but it could have been even worse

I'm ridin' a Hellcat, not a hearse
I am driving a powerful Hellcat car, not a hearse used for funerals

Took over at home, then jumped off the curb
I became successful in my hometown, then expanded to other places

Now all of my shows, they word 4 word (how you was?)
At my concerts, the audience knows my songs word for word

Broke so long, thought I was cursed (yeah, I had started to think there was shit wrong with me, huh)
I was broke for a long time and started to believe something was wrong with me

I got some profit off my pain (I'm up)
I made some money by using my struggles and hardships in my music

You hear the hurt in every verse (ayy, listen)
My songs contain my pain and struggles, and you can hear it in my lyrics

Every once in a while, I gotta remind myself, I'm that nigga (motivate me)
Sometimes I need to remind myself that I am successful and confident

Every once in a while, I go back and try to help the ones in the trenches (where I come from)
Occasionally, I return to my hometown and try to help those still living in poverty

Don't really talk to the mother of my child but we fuck every once in a while (you know how it is)
I do not have a close relationship with the mother of my child, but we still have sex occasionally

I told my lil' nigga don't take it to trial, we talk every once in a while (word 4 word)
I advised my friend to avoid going to trial and to talk to me instead

He came thru for me before I was famous, Dan Joe was trappin' on Cambridge (I remember)
My friend Dan Joe helped me out before I became famous by selling drugs on Cambridge street

Don't get it fucked up when I say I'm heartless, that do not mean that I'm painless
When I say I am heartless, it does not mean that I do not feel pain

Mike got in the feds for slangin' birds gone forever but that ain't what he deserved
My friend Mike got arrested for selling drugs and is now in prison, but that is not what he deserved

Told him hold up his head, here go some bread
I told him to stay strong and gave him some money

He said: "Bro, I feel dead.", that's word 4 word
He responded by saying he feels emotionally drained

If you made out the trenches then celebrate (made it out, then toast up)
If you escaped poverty and hardship, then you should celebrate your success

You know you doin' some right whenever they hella hate (you on they ass I heard)
If people hate on you, then you are probably doing something right

Killin' the game, boostin' up the murder rate, kill 'em with kindness send 'em to better a place
I am succeeding in the music industry and making my haters jealous, but I respond with kindness and positivity

Every once in awhile I just meditate, might have to run this back let it marinate (rewind)
Sometimes I meditate and think deeply about my life, and I might need to repeat this process

Is only so much of the fuckery, that a young nigga can take (so much I can handle)
I can only handle so much negativity and drama in my life

I'm thinkin' more learnin' and knowin' that most of this shit I heard fake (this shit be fugazi)
I am focused on learning and realizing that much of what I hear is false or fake

How you gon' up and say I'm not one hunnid, you ate off my plate (you ate from my table)
You cannot say that I am not real or genuine when you have benefited from my success

Tryna convince me to crash, I never go for the bait (I can't do that)
People are trying to lead me into trouble or failure, but I do not fall for their traps

Had to lift up my self like the weed do
I had to lift myself up like the way weed makes you feel better

Told a couple people: "I don't need you" (I don't)
I have told some people that I do not need them in my life

You ain't in my way nigga, you see-through (where you at?)
You are not blocking my path, you are invisible to me

Never seen the struggle, we ain't equal (not the same)
You do not understand the challenges and hardships I have faced, so we are not equal

Bitch walk around the house, hollering at new nigga me
My ex-girlfriend yells at me for moving on with someone new

She say that shit just to trigger me
She says hurtful things just to upset me

Say she can't deal with me, don't give a fuck if you don't (why?)
She claims she cannot handle me, but I do not care about her opinion

Still can fuck when I want
I can still have sex with her anytime I want

Told all my niggas time to boss up (boss up)
I told my friends it is time to become successful and take control of their lives

If your feet ain't planted you get crossed out (crossed out)
If you do not have stability or a plan, you will get left behind

No jewelry today, put the floss up (put up)
I am not wearing any expensive jewelry today

Don't they seen the ghost when I walked up (couldn't believe it)
People were shocked and amazed when they saw me arrive

Gotta fight to live when you in that field (real shit)
You have to struggle to survive when you are in a difficult situation

I feel for the killer, now who got killed?
I sympathize with the criminal, but wonder who their victim was

I'm smokin' a blunt, talkin' to the mirror (why?)
I smoke weed and talk to myself in the mirror

It's the only thing that can see me clearly (hey)
The mirror is the only thing that can show me my true self
