rude awakening*

An empty stomach and pride don't match What I'm saying this for is ultimately guys Here's what you can not do "Man I'm behind man I'm-I'm-I'm behind Man I sure need to get better" Stop saying that I mean seriously real talk stop saying that Because here's what the world hears You sound like a baby a victim Nobody wants to hear that you're behind What people wanna see is sweat coming off of your face and effort And then people asking "Damn you working hard What you working so hard for?" "Shit Dude I gotta get it I've been living behind" That's that goddamn confession That's that holding yourself accountable But see lemme clean paint that picture again Yea Sick and tired of waking up and seeing memes and not millions My wallet loaded up with nickel pennies shit Gotta get my money up and stop doing some crazy shit Only getting older 23 and got no businesses Gotta change it up I'm tryna drive up in the latest Benz Tired of getting curved I'm tryna cuff me up some lady friends Been the man of the house For a year plus Gotta step it up Gotta stop the slacking gotta focus get my mom a house Gotta stop the slacking gotta focus get my sis a new Bentley truck Warranty and all Bitch I'll never fall Gotta stand tall I done lived it all Anyone who did me wrong Gonna hear this song And be like oh my god Who the fuck is snapping on this beat yea Who the fuck is feeding all the streets Make my money then I put it on repeat No I can't be sitting in one seat No I can't be the only one with some food to eat Gotta make some more for my friends and my family Gotta set examples for my nephews and my nieces Gotta be the one that they can come to for a remedy Father rest your soul you could rest in peace Yea Yea rest your soul you could rest in peace Yea Yea I'ma take care of the family Yea You could place all your trust in me cuz I've Had a rude awakening Things ain't been the same since then Blood sweat tears I done spent Even lost a few friends Had a rude awakening Things ain't been the same since then Blood sweat tears I done spent You know I'm gone do it again Shordy called my phone "my rents ain't home what we finna do" "Bitch I'm at home I'm mad busy I got shit to do" She like "you working mad hard I can see it on your story Yea you working mad hard take a break and come and fuck me" "Bitch you ain't seen nothing no that was just a throwaway beat" Work real hard so I could play later I'm just tryna stay focused tryna get the paper Bitches try distracting me from my work and my labour Cut these bitches off like a motherfuckin taper Tryna get that money tryna get that dough Tryna get that dough and tryna get some more Tryna get that dough till I can't count it all Cuz you know I can't be the only one with some food to eat Gotta make some more for my friends and my family Gotta set examples for my nephews and my nieces Gotta be the one that they can come to for a remedy Father rest your soul you could rest in peace Yea Yea rest your soul you could rest in peace You already know you ain't gotta worry about shit You're good Had a rude awakening Things ain't been the same since then Blood sweat tears I done spent Even lost a few friends Had a rude awakening Things ain't been the same since then Blood sweat tears I done spent You know I'm gone do it again You know I'm gone do it again You know I'm gone do it again Yea Yea Work real hard so I could play later I'm just tryna stay focused tryna get the paper Bitches try distracting me from my work and my labour Cut these bi Cut these bi Like a motherfu Lost my job Started a new job Lost that one because I was not in the mindspace All this stuff fell apart and do you know in 12 months It was restored plus I went from here to there Not having a car to buying my BMW cash A lot of people would've given up Want to die I know I did not understand what was happening But I knew I needed to fight But I didn't only survive it I thrived through it Why can't you? No-no-no wrong question Why WON'T you? RIP Kevin Samuels
