Rich or Poor

(Yeah uh)

You don't know what you got 'til it's gone. (Real talk)

Rich or poor — same pain, different song

Let's go (Let's go, yeah)

Came from the bottom, now I'm countin' these wins, (countin' up)

But the money don't matter when you losin' your friends. (nah)

You can stack up the paper, chase all the trends

But who gon' ride with you when it all ends? (who, huh?)

They don't see the nights I cried

They just see the shine, (they blind)

They don't feel the hunger pains buried in my mind. (in my mind)

Dreams turned real, still feel confined

Even diamonds fade when you run outta time. (facts)

I done slept on floors, prayed for more

Looked at the ceiling, asked"What for?" (what for?)

Got a chain on my neck, but my heart still sore

Rich in pain, but broke in war. (yeah)

They say"money change you" — nah, it show truth, (truth)

Who fake, who real, who stick like glue. (who?)

I lost a few ones, gained a few too

Still the same soul they never knew. (same me)

You don't know what you have 'til you lose it, (lose it)

Rich or poor — both sides go through it. (through it)

Money don't buy love, can't prove it, (nah)

Soul stay rich — that's the movement. (that's the move)

When you got nothin', you start to see, (see)

Who's real, who gon' stay with me. (stay)

To be rich or poor — same energy, (same)

We all want peace, we all want free. (yeah)

When I had nothin', they ain't look my way, (nah)

Now I got somethin', they got somethin' to say. (facts)

Fake love in the air, that's the price I pay

But I'd trade this gold for a brighter day. (yeah)

From the block to the boardroom, pain don't fade, (never)

Still the same soul, just a higher stage. (higher)

New crib, new car, same scars remain, (same)

When the lights turn off, you still feel pain. (feel pain)

They measure life by what you flex, (flex)

But they never see the nights you stress. (nah)

You can buy a bed, can't buy your rest

You can buy the time, can't cheat that test. (you can't)

I been rich in heart, poor in fame, (in heart)

Now I'm rich in lessons, poor in blame. (yeah)

If I fall again, I'll rise the same

Cuz I know now — wealth ain't the game. (never was)

You don't know what you have
