Somebody very dear to me just attempted to kill herself
It showed me we don't fear death, we fear fear itself
Ever since '98 in hip hop my presence been felt
Couple dollars, couple models, couple of bitch niggas under my belt
Thorough nigga, I'ma hold you to it if we hand shake
My plan B is to complete plan A
Grind has been my strategy like it's in my anatomy
I should get a tat on me that say "Why"
Why, why would you let some dollars dictate ya
Me, I brush my shoulders off, polish off haters
If you play me I will spray a potato, later for fakers
I put 'em in the news of the major paper
My rollercoaster of a career
Hope it's been real for you because it's been weird for me
I feel like
They can take away the cause, they can take away the cash
But I bet you that they can't take the realness that's in me
I've been up, I've been down
I don't give a fuck, yeah
I've been up, I've been down
I don't give a fuck, yeah
I've been up, I've been down
I don't give a fuck
They can take away the cause, they can take away the cash
But I bet you that they can't take the realness that's in me
I just want momma to be happy
Is that too motherfucking much to ask?
Damn near 'bout to cry in this bitch
King of the jungle, I hate lions but I fuck with a lioness, bitch
If you don't straighten your ass out right now
I will find you and iron you, bitch
Grind has been my strategy like it's in my anatomy
I should get a tat on me that say "Why"
Why, why would you let losses make you act like a faggot
I'm fly and you act like a maggot
Money comes, money goes, I used to wear funny clothes
Hammer pants, my momma used to wipe my runny nose
My real family, all I care about is her
I'm feeling like
They can take away the cause, they can take away the cash
But I bet you that they can't take the realness that's in me
I've been up, I've been down
I don't give a fuck, yeah
I've been up, I've been down
I don't give a fuck, yeah
I've been up, I've been down
I don't give a fuck
They can take away the cause, they can take away the cash
But I bet you that they can't take the realness that's in me
Then I watched my daddy hit my momma
Listen to my momma tryna calm us
Yeah I don't understand the problem that we have
Who gives a shit about dollars when
You gotta go visit your father in rehab
He said "Greg Ryan Marcus, long as I'm
Getting high your momma gon' be sad
And only I can fix this so I'ma turn this all around, I promise"
As we sat, he said "I'm down right now in life, you know I'ma be back"
And when he got back home it was like it was heaven sent
Cause I was only 11 at the time and
He's been clean and sober ever since
He gave me this advice, "You at a huge advantage
Long as you know there's rules in life and a view for the planet
Rather you the man or you the mechanic
People treat money like oxygen, when they
Got it then they take it for granted
But then lose it and panic, so spoken G"
I look at him like Superman
And y'all little niggas ain't even close to me
So if he can fall, so can we
They can take away the cause, they can take away the cash
But I bet you that they can't take the realness that's in me
I've been up, I've been down
I don't give a fuck, yeah
I've been up, I've been down
I don't give a fuck, yeah
I've been up, I've been down
I don't give a fuck
They can take away the cause, they can take away the cash
But I bet you that they can't take the realness that's in me
