Uh, I ain't gone depression been on my ass I need some help
& I don't want to turn to the pills
I heard you wan be rich lil nigga let me tell you just how it is
Everybody wan get round a nigga just trying to see how I live

Uh, & now that I'm up, y'all really think I know who the hell y'all is?
Uh, a lot of y'all favorite rappers told me I was they top ten
Uh, i was sad as fuck so I dropped 20k on my grin
Cause if I die right now, at least I can say I did it
I've been grinding for so long
I'm starting think niggas don't wan see me winning
Every dime I touched was independent
So i ball on niggas like a scrimmage
I'm big 54, finna drop 30 bands on a pendant
Cause i can do that, a lot of you niggas is finished
I ain't really been myself, in a minute
In a C8 corvette, this bitch came with no ceiling
She just wan know how I'm living

Sometimes I want to end it
Honestly, no gimmicks

It's been hard trying to find true love when a nigga got wealth
What you gone do in that position nigga when them cards get dealt?
I got rich by myself
You sign that deal now you sit on a shelf huh?
762 rip through his lil teflon now he need help
Uh, I ain't gone depression been on my ass I need some help
& I don't want to turn to the pills
I heard you wan be rich lil nigga let me tell you just how it is
