You don't know what you got until you lose it
|
You don't know what you got until it's gone
|
|
We all came up the same way
|
Then grew apart in the same way
|
It's kinda strange how the money and material things
|
Give a nigga a tad he can't play
|
I remember I used to slain yay
|
Then with them bills I ain't paid
|
So who's to blame when society don't want you to change?
|
They just want you to maintain plain
|
|
We started from nothing, we was poor
|
I had too much ambition, I wanted more
|
School and a regular job wasn't gonna cut it
|
Got that'
|
I used to do the same thing
|
I see the pain in her face, I know she hurting
|
We can't keep doing that, that ain't gonna work
|
So we got that work and we made it work
|
Now instead of taking money, we put money in her purse
|
While she go to church
|
|
We all came up the same way
|
Then grew apart in the same way
|
It's kinda strange how the money and material things
|
Give a nigga a tad he can't play
|
I remember I used to slain yay
|
Then with them bills I ain't paid
|
So who's to blame when society don't want you to change?
|
They just want you to maintain plain
|
|
You know society set up for us to fail
|
They give us poor education
|
They want us to go to jail
|
|
I was at the bottom like what the fuck?
|
Looking at the top like that's a little bit up
|
I ain't scared of heights, homie, so I got to climbing
|
I come from a dark place, now looking to shining
|
Only thing I'm scared of is God and the feds
|
Lost a lot of close friends and they ain't even dead
|
'fuck the same page, we ain't even reading the same book
|
Homie, you wasn't struggled with me, you wasn't there with me
|
Niggas that I start with is eating'
|
I don't want my kids knowing nothing about no welfare'
|
They can keep their healthcare
|
|
We all came up the same way
|
Then grew apart in the same way
|
It's kinda strange how the money and material things
|
Give a nigga a tad he can't play
|
I remember I used to slain yay
|
Then with them bills I ain't paid
|
So who's to blame when society don't want you to change?
