Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rich **** making poor decisions
Rich **** making poor decisions
Rich **** making poor decisions
Damn, check
Rich **** making poor decisions
All my little homies up in prison
I'ma let you know just how I'm living
[Verse 2]
I can tell you 'bout the Mach Five
I can show you what them blocks buy
I can tell you 'bout my block ties
I can take you to the far side
Poor decision making plaguing ****'s lives
You selling crack up on your mama porch
While she still going through her new divorce
He has a thrill as he raise his voice
When he really needs to raise his boys
[Verse 3]
You thugs with so much talent
Young thugs having no balance
Young **** having no fathers
Young **** catching dope charges
Growing up she say she felt alone
Now she stripping for that pot of gold
Another fish in a bowl
They say her mother never played her role
I heard her mother always on the road
Her mother always wearing gold
Where I'm from, I guess that's how it goes
[Verse 4]
Rich **** making poor decisions
Rich **** making poor decisions
Rich **** making poor decisions
Damn
Rich **** making poor decisions
Rich **** making poor decisions
All my little homies up in prison
Lupe, gotta tell 'em how you living
[Verse 5]
The beloved T-Rex says
Grown man bars is something you gotta deal with
Whole hand cards, but nothing that you can build with
That sound like bullshit from out a bull mouth
Even the teepee is a full house
Simple shelter keep you out the cold
If we hold it close together, we ain't never fold
Why you letting the devil beat you out your soul?
You don't believe in God, then at least believe in odds
This house of ours is just a house of cards
Just without the yards or nice adjacent parks
We was born black but that shit'll make you dark
Even with a handful of hearts
Mind on the club just to find a little love, my regards
'Cause when your P-O-V is poverty
It's like D-O-C a lottery, that D-O-C be lock and key
For the D-O-P-E, bob and weave
And that boxer boxing free up out them rings like it was Rocky 3
Caught up in the game now
Look at how we came out, like olly olly oxen free
God ain't why they watching me, yeah yeah
Poor decider since like four or five or,
Sugar coated, colored edibles
Instead of building up a habit in them vegetables
Now early 30's, my blood pressure's incredible
Medical, yeah ****, I'm telling you
Coveting cars over community
Rappers influence your shooting sprees
Turn around and publish bars like it ain't got shit to do with me
Easy to record so ruthlessly, rich ****
[Verse 6]
Rich **** making poor decisions
Rich **** making poor decisions
Rich **** making poor decisions
[Verse 7]
Uh, can't tell you 'bout that H dude
But I'll tell you 'bout this hate, dude
And I'll show you where they raise a tool
Have a **** late, or for their labels, or the latest shoes
I'm from an era where gold trinkets could buy attention
And the hoes thinking might blow your winky for a known emblem
Label whores who fuck a sale or suck a store
Lust apparel, who dream of Rolls but can't Accord
Or afford a Dodge or a Ford
Where she end up on your knob 'cause she has never been adored
Lord help us, my generation come to an end
'Cause we all selfish but living shallow
How we gon' swim?
I mean really, why should I pretend?
Walk a day up in my tennis, my soul is possessed
I'm repping my set no matter who posin' against
Once I got hot, they only good option to vent
[Verse 8]
Rich **** making poor decisions
Rich **** making poor decisions
Rich **** making poor decisions, damn
[Verse 9]
Hey Ricky, I'ma flip the mission
How 'bout poor **** making rich decisions?
Poor **** making rich decisions
That shit right there is more efficient
I think that might be a better description
Poor **** making rich decisions
Can't afford 'em but you still gon' get 'em
That's a poor **** making rich decisions
Buying jewelry but you know you fishing
Yeah, on a mission
Maybe part two, yeah
