Lyrics
Yeah
Hey, look
Close your eyes and envision my skitter heights through a transplant
See lows'll take you high, high'll take you lower back there
Permanent like a tramp stamp
Kept a positive mind with a negative bank account
Kept a smile on my face while my city just sit and pout
Kept givin' out hugs while y'all give out guns
Fired from my job for bein' a couple minutes late
I wasn't tryna live a simple life anyways
Really so I called Mom Dukes, told her, "This shit ain't important
I can rap full time with unemployment"
Couple weeks later, denied me the unemployment
Empty pockets got me way more focused and disappointed
Rather die enormous than live dormant, that's how we on it
'Cause I'm always comin' up with some shit like my toilet cloggin'
And the places I apply, each one of 'em I deny
Tryna offer me a job same day I got a performance, nah
Lady, I gotta rap the nightmares
You makin' minimum wage and I'm makin' sacrifices
So I ran into a surgeon at the grocery store, Dr. Dre's blastin'
Playin' some Illmatic, he tapped me right on my shoulder
Asked me if I'm enrolled into college
Told him, "That shit ain't for me, to be honest"
I don't sit in class, I got a question, I put my hands up
I'm on stage tellin' these people to put they hands up
He laughed a little, then told me we built to learn in school
I told him, "You save lives, right?
Well, maybe one of my songs is savin' a child's life for certain too"
Yeah, so technically I'm a surgeon too
Yeah, everybody seen doubt
Now I got the crowd jumpin' like a trampoline house
They don't want a black brother to eat, I'm used to it
'Cause they always tryna take the black jelly beans out, nigga
Yeah, I'm dreamin' to make a profit
And God always sketchin' a special way to surprise it
Reflectin' on my life in this broken rear view mirror
'Cause I crashed my fuckin' car 'cause I was textin' and drivin'
Now it's no job, no car, fuck it, man, I surrender
