How can I change when I started wit a dollar/
Keep a smile on my face/
Just to get through all my problems/
Promised mama imma make it/
She feel like I broke my promise/
She tell me that I ain't shit/
That shit be weighing on my conscious/
Down and out, when it come to money/
You gone see the real/
Down and out, family no different/
Than a friend, keep it real/
Down and out, I den been wit it/
And I den been without/
But the struggle ain't forever/
I know imma turn it out/
We get into it almost everyday/
Cause she can't get a enough/
Sometimes I just say f*ck it/
I feel like just giving up/
Cause she don't appreciate the shit I did/
Appreciate the shit I do/
Mask on just to see my future/
When I'm making moves/
All my people proud of me/
Most of my people doubted me/
Remember back at Madison dancing/
Them niggas clowning me/
Remember fell in love wit a bitch/
Just on some stupid shit/
Me and them niggas doing hits/
I repent for my stupidness/
What would you do/
If you penniless/
Can't get a job, inexperienced/
Make a decision/
Gotta get to that chicken/
Because you facing eviction/
What would you do if you struggling/
Gotta play my cards right/
So you know I'm reshuffling/
And I try to stand tall/
But a nigga keep stumbling/
But I remain humble/
Through the shit that I'm up against/
How can I change when I started wit a dollar/
Keep a smile on my face/
Just to get through all my problems/
Promised mama imma make it/
She feel like I broke my promise/
She tell me that I ain't shit/
That shit be weighing on my conscious/
Down and out, when it come to money/
You gone see the real/
Down and out, family no different/
Than a friend, keep it real/
Down and out, I den been wit it/
And I den been without/
But the struggle ain't forever/
I know imma turn it out/
I'm praying for better days/
He take away my bitter ways/
Used to follow niggas/
But that's back before my twitter days/
Now I shine bright/
Cause I remember I was inna shade/
I'm so tired of whipping shooters/
Now I'm tryna whip a wraith/
Uncle committed suiii/
He supported my music/
I found out love ain't love/
Even if it's from Cupid/
Don't put ya all into a bitch/
Even if she the cutiest/
I give my mama every dollar/
We still getting into it/
And I got people that den crossed me/
What's that about/
And they got secrets that I know/
But they ain't leaving my mouth/
A friendly face can be ya enemy/
So don't lose grip/
I'll rather be, judged by 12/
Then carried by 6/
They know I, been keeping It Real/
Been keeping It Real/
Man it ain't hard to stay solid/
And just keep it a bill/
Two for a dollar chips wit noodles/
That I bought wit a bill/
That nigga started wit a dollar/
He ain't changing for real/
How can I change when I started wit a dollar/
Keep a smile on my face/
Just to get through all my problems/
Promised mama imma make it/
She feel like I broke my promise/
She tell me that I ain't shit/
That shit be weighing on my conscious/
Down and out, when it come to money/
You gone see the real/
Down and out, family no different/
Than a friend, keep it real/
Down and out, I den been wit it/
And I den been without/
But the struggle ain't forever/
I know imma turn it out/
