Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

D**n

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

All my little homes up in prison

I'm ma let you know just how I'm livin'

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 makin' plagued you niggas' lives

You sellin' crack up on your momma porch

While she still goin' through her new divorce

He has a thrill as he raise his voice

When he really needs to raise his boys

Young thugs with so much talent

Young thugs havin' no balance

Young niggards havin' no fathers

Young niggards catchin' d**e charges

Growin' up she say she felt alone

Now she strippin' for that pot of gold

Another fish in the bowl

They say her mother never played her role

I heard her mother always on the roll

Her mother always wearin' gold

Where I'm from I guess that's how it goes

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

D**n

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

All my little homes up in prison

Lupe gotta tell' em how you livin'

The beloved t Rex says

Grown man bars is somethin' you gotta deal with

Whole hand cards but nothin' that you can build with

That sound like bullsh*t from out a bull mouth

Even the tepee is a full house

Simple shelter keep you out the cold

If you hold it close together we'll never fold

Why you lettin' the devil beat you out your soul

You don't believe in god then at least believe in odds

This house of our is just a house of cards

Just without the yards and nice adjacent parks

We was born black but that sh*t'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

Finnan d o p e bob and weave

And the boxer boxin' 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

That ain't why they watchin' me yeah yeah

Poor decider since like 4 5 or sugar coated colored edibles

Instead of buildin' up a habit in them vegetables

Now early 30 s my blood pressure's incredible

Medical yeah n**ga I'm tellin' you

Coveting cars over community

Rappers influence your shootin' sprees

Turn around and publish bars like it ain't got sh*t to do with me

Easy to record so ruthlessly

Rich niggards

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

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

I have a n**ga late for the labels or the latest shoes

I'm from an era where gold trinkets could buy attention

And the hoes thinking might blow your windy for a known emblem

Label whores that ll f**k a sale and 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 livin' 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 reppin' my set no matter who posin' against

Once I got hot they only good option to vent

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

Rich niggards makin' poor decisions

Aye Ricky I'm ma flip the mission

How' bout poor niggards makin' rich decisions

Poor niggards makin' rich decisions

That sh*t right there is more efficient

I think that might be a better description

Poor niggards makin' rich decisions

Can't afford' em but you still gon' get' em

That's a poor n**ga making rich decisions

Buyin' jewelry but you know you're vision

Yeah

On a mission

Yeah

Maybe part 2

Yeah
