im on my grind and my mind on my cash…

v1
My name aint Denzel, but I know Im a star
They see me in the streets they be like thas a nice car
i be thinkin to myself, u should see my house
while they was watchin Jordan i was watchin Jerry Krause
While they was watchin Tyson I was watchin Don King
Im tryn tell u this aint jus another song u sing
Im out here gettin it so u can see what i mean
when i say the futures yours if u beleive in ya dreams
I started in the basement, by that i mean the bottom
by that i mean undeground like Batman in Gotham
but i aint have no teammate like Batman and Robin
jus a will {wheel} of steel like one turntable rockin
the party aint stoppin- man i need to stack some cheese
so i studied Marcus Garvey; i watched the Master P’s
then i said to myself ‘they jus men like me”
so then i told my dogs “we can do it yall we jus gotta believe”

v2
so it was always on his brain- even when theyd see em high
cept now he couldnt hang cuz he was out reachin for the sky
hed always tell em “change” if they needed a reason why
but its always been the same, it go- get free or die.
i wish all my dogs was here but i know one day theyll tell me
how it felt to watch me rise from Levis to LV
even the hatas helped me and i know they can see
them suckas aint pay attention now they payin my fee…
see- u cant be poor and go to war,
the poor be on the frontlines and dont even no what for
the poor get locked behind that iron door cuz money make law
so i say hustle or kill ya self cuz baby u deserve mo’
u know? jus the way some ok workin for pennies-hey
if u aint tryn grow doggy u dyin slow anyway
and the struggle remains, so if u aint tryn help break these chains
at least go out wit a bang nixxa (and kill yaself)
