Lordy lordy
Wanna fast forward to the end of the story
And see what happens for me
Am I rich or poor
By the time that I’m forty?
Can I afford the mortgage?
And the parties?
Does she wanna divorce me?
Rich enough to fuck around and buy that yacht
That cost a lot
Now we rich on the water
How bout that
Lovin all the cool shit I bought
And it’s all mine
And if I get too rich
Are my kids
Spoiled lil shits?
Do them chores on that list
Sometimes you get bored
And that’s how it is
One day I’ll be a washed up has been
Lookin back and laughin
When I used to be rappin
Whatever happened to that shit?
Did I make it out of that house yet?
Are my babies and they mama livin somewhere else?
And I never see em cause I’m stuck in jail?
Tried to get rich sellin them bricks but I failed
I send em letters in the mail
Letters in the mail
Does my life go by and I miss it?
Waiting for the perfect conditions?
Losing my fight when it get vicious?
Aint no wife and I’m doin all of the dishes
Aint no wife and I’m doin all of the dishes
Does my life go by and I miss it?
Waiting for the perfect conditions?
Losing my fight when it get vicious?
Aint no wife and I’m doin all of the dishes
Aint no wife and I’m doin all of the dishes
I gotta wait and see
Cause that time machine
Out the price range for me
So while I’m waitin Imma brang the beat
Brang the beat
Yeah life right now a little boring
Lordy lordy
Wanna fast forward to the end of the story
And see what happens for me
Am I rich or poor
By the time that I’m forty?
Can I afford the mortgage?
And the parties?
Does my wife look like a barbie?
Does she wanna divorce me?
Rich enough to fuck around and buy that yacht
That cost a lot
Now we rich on the water
How bout that
Lovin all the cool shit I bought
And it’s all mine
And if I get too rich
Are my kids
Spoiled lil shits?
Do them chores on that list
Sometimes you get bored
And that’s how it is
One day I’ll be a washed up has been
Lookin back and laughin
