Need To Know

It's crazy how Nipsey Hussle had to die to be great

Breonna Taylor, George Floyd had to get took away by the cops

We protest but we still on the block

COVID-19 is real but we dying more by the Glock

You can't make Forbes and have a 360 deal

I know everybody trying to get their water deal

Everybody trying to get their Rocawear deal

Everybody trying to get that 80/20 deal like I had

It's possible if you work hard

This the realest shit I ever wrote

This the realest shit I ever spoke

This the shit they don't want you to know

But if you getting money, this the shit you need to know

This the realest shit I ever wrote

This the realest shit I ever spoke

This the shit they don't want you to know

But if you getting money, this the shit you need to know

They give us one percent, we think we own the team

Sign a record deal but the money don't match a nigga dream

Then they put these rookies against each other

They used to be homeboys, now they trying to kill each other

Don't even read when they sign these deals

Just head straight to TV dining hall and shine these grills

And when you hot, they gon' let you use they house

And when you not, that's the day they kick you out

While Richard Branson having fun flying to space

These artists out here starving, catching a case

I don't know what they did to Ma$e

But I heard Ciroc gave Puffy some cake

And these hoes and these jewels will be a young nigga downfall

They give him like 50 mil for playing round ball

Then throw your name in the paper

And make it easy access for the haters

They got financial advisors just to pay they bills

Dre hit with B, now every rapper want that deal

How you gon' make 50 mil and go kill a nigga?

Too many steroids, damn you a silly nigga

Now these athletes wanna be rappers

These rappers make a little money and they wanna be trappers

Buy a Phantom and don't have no houses

These niggas backwards from the inside out

And y'all wanna be Kawhi, the MVP of the team

I'm trying to be the white boy that own the league

And I pledge allegiance to the American dream

And educated myself so they won't kill my dreams

I'm glad Nike gave LeBron 500 mil

But took that same endorsement and turned it to a couple of bills

And uh, rappers losing to these sponsors

Reality shows, thanks to Craig Storz they make it monster
