Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's so many things that I don't understand
Sometimes, being in a position I'm in
With no malicious intent, my ****
But take it how you want it
I see it from both sides
I feel a **** pain
[Verse 2]
Learn to walk a tightrope
Ever seen a rich **** go broke?
They puttin' leins on a ****'s things
Publicize your demise, and by all means
Your family fortune is forever what you stood on
Sold dreams, fantasies that put the hood on
You reap what you sow and they speakin' repossessions
To the culture itself, these are powerful lessons
These **** always smiled when I came around
And let you know my reputation when you in my town
A real ****, you gon' know that by the contract
Bottom line, blood, show me where them ones at
That paper it get funny when publishing is involved
Mechanicals never mattered because that was your dog
[Verse 3]
Now you hands-on but things don't ever seem right
You make a call to give your lawyer the green-light
He look into it then hit you up with the bad news
It's so familiar, he did the same with the last dudes
Mafioso, baby girl, cash rules
Every dollar accounted for, double M the crew
[Verse 4]
Death row
Fast life
Foreclosed on my past life
The white man called us stupid ****
We spend it all, nothin' for our children
Had it all, now it's repossessed
Can't feed, click, cutting bad checks
Time to learn boy, that cash rules
Success is a precious jewel
[Verse 5]
Planting poison in a **** mind
Chilling with your boys when it's time to grind
We both come from those humble beginnings
Still can't believe we never followed each other on Twitter
Funny thing is the animosity money brings
Real **** out of style, we may be one in three
Back against the wall, outnumbered by fuck boys
One bullet, one target, one choice
[Verse 6]
You can take a L or take the shell
It's still double M, still making mills
Made **** respect my hustle on both coasts
I put the word out to see who hit back with the lowest
I need a hit handled, put me in touch with the closest
You still digging through ashtrays, killin' the roaches
And I never took a L back when Meek fell
Just drove the numbers all the way back up at retail
[Verse 7]
Death row
Fast life
Foreclosed on my past life
The white man call us stupid ****
We spend it all, nothin' for our children
Had it all, now it's repossessed
Can't feed, click, cutting bad checks
Time to learn boy, that cash rules
Success is a precious jewel
[Verse 8]
Can't be writing checks with your eyes closed
Why you living out of homes in different time zones?
Mind blown, spinnin' strippy, watch your rhinestones
Pistol to your ear, this that level I'm on
I apologize, woadie, but this all I got
Everybody in this office, we could die tonight
I never met a artist who fully recouped
These the deals the deal dealers want to deal to you
[Verse 9]
Young ****, time to act your wage
Buying belts you seen on other ****'s waists
Hoes fuckin' for photos, they wanna post online
Whole time, shorty knowing I'm not gon' mind
Put it on, all he needed was a co-sign
Black minks and gloves, ****, the whole nine
TV on the Roll's, shit, I had to hold mine
Nor foreclose or fold just for soul signs
[Verse 10]
Death row
Fast life
Foreclosed on my past life
The white man call us stupid ****
We spend it all, nothin' for our children
Had it all, now it's repossessed
Can't feed, click, cutting bad checks
Time to learn, boy, that cash rules
Success is a precious jewel
[Verse 11]
Success is a precious jewel
Success is a precious jewel
