You really think this shit gon' work?
You really think this music stuff gon' work?
You making all this noise up in the house all day, all night
Doing all this nonsense, posting on social media
What you- what you think you gon' do?
You need a job, nigga, a J-O-B
Go and get you one
Told 'em put the money in my hands
Working for the man, tryna get every dollar that I can
Mr. Reckless man got himself a couple jams
Now they know me in Japan, tryna figure out the plan
Nigga, this a word to Uncle Sam
Clutching every penny when you looking and they don't give a damn
Broken is the dream of a man
When you got a couple stacks
Now you tryna get your brothers outta jam
Ain't no fucking money in my hand
Niggas really shook 'cause a couple dollars finna get you blammed
I don't really, really understand why you coming to the land
Nigga, is you really moving like a fan?
Nigga, this a-
Oh shit, I forgot about the, um
Hey, can I run that one back?
Okay
Once upon a time, it was 2022
I had dropped out of school, tryna drive my mama coupe
My mental wasn't stable, don't you know this ain't a fable?
Tryna see the other side before it really was my time
I don't do no crimes, I don't really like to fight
I don't slip, I don't slide like a thief up in the night
I'm sharper than a knife, take a look up in my eye
If you really wanna see what I'm thinking in my mind
Peace and positive for the favors
God said love yourself and all your neighbors
We are all kin under the savior
Unless your skin is darker than the paper
Fight the feeling that you really harbor
Spread the love, tryna raise your karma
Look at me like I killed your father
Only if it's gonna get my coins up
Reap what you sow, now I'm carving up favors
You feeling the static 'cause I'm going major
A player who had to grow up and be patient
I'm gracious 'cause ain't no bullets in my helmet
They felt it, they said that the kid gon' be special
Backpedal, a dropout who lived in his bedroom
And ripping up schedules and feeling the pressure
The cousin of sleep is heavy on his mental
2023, Now it's little old me
And this girl wanting me to show her finer things
My pockets was light, but I'm glad to invite
Now it's been a few months and I don't hear a ring
Minimum wage was my paper, I'll pay the rent later
So mama, can I call you back?
The sun in my eyes, but my heart ain't intact
Life can get a little scary when things fade to black
Jealous little brother, my feelings in cover
I'm trailing your shadow and becoming sober
My family don't know me, so really it's tricky
You're stuck in a room and can't say much about me
2024 and I kicked my own door, I ain't tripping no more
It's time to figure out the future I'm picking
I made my decision, this time Imma see what Reckless really 'bout
Okay, you- you got a couple little followers now
You got a couple little people listening to your songs
You think you're really popping now
You ain't really popping 'cause you ain't making no damn money
Okay, we need money, M-O-N-E-Y
And you need a damn J-O-B
Come on, spell it out with me next time, aight?
Told 'em put the money in my hands
Working for the man, tryna get every dollar that I can
Mr. Reckless man got himself a couple jams
Now they know me in Japan, tryna figure out the plan
Nigga, this a word to Uncle Sam
Clutching every penny when you looking and they don't give a damn
Broken is the dream of a man
When you got a couple stacks
Now you tryna get your brothers outta jam
Ain't no fucking money in my hand
Niggas really shook 'cause a couple dollars finna get you blammed
I don't really, really understand why you coming to the land
Nigga, is you really moving like a fan?
Nigga, this a word to all the fam
Holding every dollar 'cause you scared to take a motherfucking chance
Never chased your dreams, said you can't
Now you're missing on the future when
The money raining down in your hands
