Fearmonger
Saba Lyrics

Okay, the money on the way, it'll lay by the first
I have money coming soon, and it will be in my possession on the first of the month.

Adolescence, I would curse on the way to the church
During my teenage years, I would express frustration while on my way to church.

My career just turned to cursive how I connect the words
I have reached a point in my career where my writing style has become more flowing and expressive.

Ain't grow up with much of shit, but still it could've been worse
I didn't have a lot growing up, but I acknowledge that it could have been even more difficult.

He ain't focused on her pants, he want get in her purse
He is not interested in her clothes, but rather in getting access to her money.

I need it all in advance if they book me to work
If someone wants to hire me, I require full payment upfront.

From we barely had a chance, left the crib on alert
Since we had limited opportunities, we grew up in an environment where we were always vigilant and cautious.

To a crib with alarms and security perks
Now we live in a house equipped with security systems and additional benefits.

Insecurity hurts the same way jewelry works
Feeling insecure emotionally is as painful as the effect of jewelry on our physical bodies.

So, if you payin' to flex, pay your security first
If you are spending money to show off, make sure to prioritize your personal safety and well-being.

No point in payin' for whips, to ride a funeral hearse
There is no benefit in spending money on luxurious cars if it only leads to your own demise.

We be prepared for the best, but also fearin' the worst
We strive to be ready for positive outcomes, but we also carry the fear of negative ones.

Okay, every nigga that I know is scared of goin' broke
Everyone I know is afraid of experiencing financial hardship.

I know if I fall back down, ain't no one there to lend me rope
I am aware that if I face a setback, there will be no one to support and rescue me.

Okay, and every nigga that I know takes care of so and so
All the people I know prioritize taking care of their loved ones.

So ain't no option, option, option, you best go make more
There is no alternative but to make more money; it is the best course of action.

'Cause fearmonger live amongst us
Fearmongers exist within our society.

I feel hunger, hunger
I experience a deep and intense hunger, both literally and metaphorically.

But guess I feel somethin' at least
However, I'm glad to feel some kind of sensation or emotion.

I need somethin' to eat
I am in need of sustenance and fulfillment.

And scared money never made money, what I was taught
I was taught that being too cautious with one's money doesn't lead to financial gain.

But once you made money, you'll be more afraid than us all
However, once you have accumulated wealth, you become even more fearful and anxious about losing it.

My grandfather drove a Corvette convertible car
My grandfather used to own and drive a convertible Corvette.

He passed away and left his will to the fate of the stars
When he died, he left his possessions to be determined by fate or chance.

I made a cool mmmm, all for sayin' a bar
I earned a significant sum of money just by delivering a memorable line in a song.

I was scared to spend a dime, like, what if I die tomorrow?
I used to be afraid of spending any money, as I worried about what would happen if I were to die suddenly.

Would my fam intervene for a bag of the Gs?
Would my family take action to obtain a bag of money?

In a Black Model 3, sheesh, passenger seat
Riding in a luxurious Black Model 3 car, with someone sitting in the passenger seat.

Would my fans leave if I can't put asses in seats?
Would my fans abandon me if I cannot attract a large audience to my shows or events?

If I log out an app or I lack a retweet?
If I stop using a social media app or fail to receive a retweet, what will happen to my popularity?

I'm just scared to go back, didn't have shit to eat
I am simply afraid of returning to a state where I had nothing to eat.

Half my bread go to taxes, the actual thieves
A significant portion of my earnings goes to taxes, which I see as the true thieves in this situation.

I'm droppin' pounds, I hear my stomach growl
I am losing weight, and I can hear the growling of my empty stomach.

Yeah, fearmonger lurk among us
Yes, fearmongers hide and exist within our society.

I done clawed my way up
I have worked hard and struggled to rise to my current position.

But that bottom's callin' me down, slip and I'll drown
However, the possibility of falling back to a lower position tempts me, and if I make a mistake, I could end up in a difficult situation.
