[00:02.39][Verse 1: Dame .A.]
[00:10.26]That money stack tall but only partially my focus
[00:12.96]So compassionate, struggle hard for me to cope with
[00:15.64]Do a lot for others, not for credit or to soak in
[00:18.24]But to have an impact on direction that they go in
[00:20.92]Grounded by the roots, hooked to the soil
[00:23.35]Recognize the rumble that we're in, yeah it's royal
[00:26.16]Crabs in the barrel, wrapped up in foil
[00:28.76]Kids grow up scars that are rubbed now with oil
[00:31.35]And life done changed a bit but I can't grow apart
[00:33.96]For those in my position that don't feel me, grow a heart
[00:36.56]I grew up round love but we had a slower start
[00:39.20]Hooping on the tree and fighting at the park
[00:41.99]Luckily we had guidance, we was more blessed than others
[00:44.58]We was the deepest family, nobody had more cousins
[00:47.26]The street lights would flicker everybody running no huddle
[00:50.70]Cause if you didn't make it everybody got in trouble
[00:53.29][Hook: Dame A.]
[00:53.96]I won't let that money define me

[01:00.97]Young, rich, and in the sticks tryna find peace
[01:03.46]I ain't get high and I ain't sell ****
[01:05.95]People ask "why?" I did it for my folks
[01:08.59]Wanna slice the pie then you gotta have hope
[01:11.13]Take the plan serious or watch it go in smoke
[01:13.97]Watch it go in smoke, watch it go in smoke
[01:19.20]Watch it go in smoke, watch it go in smoke
[01:24.69][Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
[01:25.20]Uh, chin to the clouds, all 10 on solid ground
[01:27.38]Sipping purple Whitney Houston, never touch the Bobby Brown
[01:30.08]When it comes to the crown, I done dreadlocked it down
[01:32.86]Rest in peace my daddy Rabbit, he in Heaven hopping 'round
[01:35.54]I been outchea on the grind, I want mine on time

[01:51.59]Cause life is too short, I got that from Too $hort
[01:53.94]Couldn't ball, I was too short
[01:55.46]But rich, like I play two sports
[01:56.64]Flag red like scarlet
[01:58.17]Keep my head in my wallet
[01:59.50]Leave the BS in the toilet
[02:00.81]Leave the BS on the Charmin
[02:02.13]With TF on my garments
[02:03.37]I wear Trukfit like Ralph Lauren
[02:04.75]And I'm loyal to my soil
[02:05.86]Straight from hell, I mean New Orleans
[02:07.33]Tunechi

[02:49.59]All about your time, that's the best thing to give
[02:52.14]A message from the distance hardly ever stay in ear
[02:54.84]Gotta keep a presence even with your relatives
[02:57.24]Cause we all carry gifts like Santa and the deers
