The voice in these songs telling your boy that he ain't wrong
It's the rap videos with the girls in them thongs
Middle finger to the sky tell the world that I'm gone
The time I saw those purses digits on the price tag
The time I heard the worst shit and you told me it's a nice track
The time they said religion is the key to set me free
It's the time mom and dad said I needed that degree
