Woke up broke, 19
Woke up broke, 19
This is 19 feet deepest
Damn
Woke up broke,deepest
Woke up broke, 19
Woke up broke, feet deepest
Woke up broke, Just another day
People that you love
Will turn they backs on you
My EBT in the negatives
But I'm still positive
Mamma told me never prove a point,so I roll a joint
Blaze just to clear my mind
Cant see the haters, Cuz i must be blind
Give you 6 secs to talk like vine
If you not talking money,Then you wasting yo time
Electric bill due, Damn
Cant get no job
Cuz I'm wicked out like static shock
Been years since I spoke to my pops
I,Wondering if they gone kill me when I pop
Like the weasel
I wanna motive the world to be great!
DONT mind me cuz Im
Venting
V-E-N-T!
I be venting
Venting To my mermaid
I be venting

I just wanna see the world shineee!
Gotta call that my woahs got hit up
Heard it was something that can be resolved
Two mommas lost they son
One to the grave, Other life in prison
Before I shoot, I rather play you in some madden
Just to squash some beef
No matter if you black or white
No need to compete
Cuz the bills is color blind
The more we stick together, Watch the Mula multiply
Look in the mirror, Respect 1st thing that you see
What's the point of hate?
It's a bag for everybody, It might take a lil time
Just be patient, Stay on yo grind!
The person you might hate, Is the person that can help youuuuu, AYEEEEE!!

14 years later and this still slaps
@roberthernandez6557
This is, surprisingly, the best remix to Under The Sea I've ever heard
@Only1BandIsTheBand
holy fuck, this is literally the best remix of a classic song ever.
I kind of spend a lot of time trying to find ones that don't just turn into a trap beat after using the source for 10 seconds in the intro, and you, my friend, fucking nailed it. game changer.
@magicemperor2420
Haha, I agree! I prefer remixes that actually resemble their source. I didn’t do this, though—I’m just the messenger.
@drunksenshi
Wow. This is too awesome and outrageously great. I must find this somewhere.
@rfart419
This remix from Disney is nostalgic now. :)
@dqueasy3404
