A Couple Dollars (feat. Joell Ortiz)

We just wanted to live

They told us to count up somethin'

Seems the only way you can live, yea

Swear to God we just wanted to live

They told us to count up somethin'

Seems the only way you can live

In love with a mattress that was somewhat outta place

Went through the old habits it can double as a chase

Talking major key

Let it cut you out a case

And tryna run the city 'till it run you outta state

Tell us all this is straight

And its worth what you wait on

Staring at the exit like yo I ain't tryna stay long

Kitchen table decorate situate a plate on

Jesus, heavy is the head the crown lay on

But all of this is straight

Running outta state is what you play for and stay for

To turn to what you leave for

Get your sixteen on

Like talking mic check, throw the beat on

Or talking 'bout a key but being twenty OZ short

Sixteen ain't enough

Andre features

As quick as you can be on, you'll be gone

Waiting on the detour

Couple U-turns to where you belong

At best you can get your sight, see on

Just need a couple dollars

A couple dollars, baby

Bet you I can plug 'em

Till the wallet dropping babies

Just need a couple dollars

A couple dollars, baby

Told if I can get 'em

All of them will save me

Saved in a drop top BM

Right side, DM

All praise due up

Tell him when I see him

Started with a couple dollars, baby

Was told if I can get 'em

All of them will save me

Just off a couple dollars

And it sounds beautiful like the truth

Like she bad but even more beautiful in the coupe

And seeing that was seeing all that I would need to pursue

The e-class that was used to corner me off the stoop

Was as clean as the book that your hand on

When you prayed that we stayed away from them anthems

Fuck is left for us except for us to go stand on

A box with a rope and a bottle of Spade

Carpe diem, carpe diem, make it pop for the day

I threw money to the jeweler

Sneaker box full of change

Know me, I'm no better, I'm about it the same

'Cause on a box with a rope is how we got in this frame

Now flick it up one time for 'em

One time for 'em

Know it's lit if they in here with the nine on 'em

One time for 'em

One time for 'em

And the parades lining up along the side for 'em

Just need a couple dollars

A couple dollars, baby

Bet you I can plug 'em

Till the wallet dropping babies

Just need a couple dollars

A couple dollars, baby

Told if I can get 'em

All of them will save me

Saved in a drop top BM

Right side, DM

All praise due up

Tell him when I see him

Started with a couple dollars, baby

Was told if I can get 'em

All of them will save me

Just off a couple dollars

As a youngin' had a lot on my plate but

I ain't finna complain

Just had a lot on my plate

Razors, twelve twelve skinnies and fifty-eights

I cooked a six deuce and came back with fifty-eight

I ain't stressin', I ain't stretch it

I just cheffed it in the butter

Orville Redenbacher had it poppin

Word to mother

Swerving under covers

Had it local, had it OG

Whipping up the P-O-T tryna get to the T-O-P

Get in and get out

That's always the plan

But all of them bands to a kid in the project who had nothing, so damn

Hard to let go from starvin'

Stomach hollow with the echo

To the hardest Marc Ecko extra large retro

MJ's before they dropped

But a lot started to drop

Stick up kids got the drop

My sneaker box dropped

Dropped crack, switched to diesel

When some fiends dropped

Feds eavesdropping on my drop

Down 'em street blocks

They dropped by my man's spot so now he locked

I drop to both knees praying dimes don't get dropped

Dropped it all

Be the bird locked in the coupe

Or take your talent more serious and lock in that booth

I chose the latter

And thank God for showing Joe the ladder

Helped me climb through these rhymes

Who said I would never matter?

Look at me

Such a hard act to follow

Looking forward to tomorrow

You'll never hear me holler

I just need a couple dollars

A couple dollars, baby

Bet you I can plug 'em

Till the wallet dropping babies

Just need a couple dollars

A couple dollars, baby

Told if I can get 'em

All of them will save me

Saved in a drop top BM

Right side, DM

All praise due up

Tell him when I see him

Started with a couple dollars, baby

Was told if I can get 'em

All of them will save me

Just off a couple dollars
