I used to want the racks by the duffle and the checks by the millions
Wanted to protect my investment invest in my children
Now the hero finally got the cape then he turned into the villain
Now my check is reality I'm finally startin' to feel it
Wasn't cool enough broke fan all I had to feel the breeze
Night sweats get these covers off of me
Hella dark I couldn't see
Lights off no electricity
Food spoiled don't got no more EBT
What the **** am I to eat
Eat last raisin' babies ain't cheap
They clothes fly 'cause my clothes stayed cheap
An eighth last a whole week
Pockets low it's on froze how they freeze
As a man I didn't feel real manly
Always with the rent late tryna figure out how to get paid
Worked all damn night for that minimum wage
Prayin' to myself askin' God where the better days
Must've caught the damn machine 'cause he wasn't answerin'
What kind of son am I really to lack the faith like that
So full of love how the **** am I feelin' hate like that
Givin' out hate just know you gon' get that hate right back
I went off script of course I wasn't raised like that
I used to want the racks by the duffle and the checks by the millions
Wanted to protect my investment invest in my children
Now the hero finally got the cape then he turned into the villain
Now my check is reality I'm finally startin' to feel it
Speed up a year wakin' up to a bigger crib
Feel like that gettin' figures what the business is
It's **** a fan I got AC
I feel the chill again
I'm risin' higher I'm on fire never chill again
But I got caught up in the money
Got caught up in the fame
I got caught up in a character who really wasn't me
I was lyin' to my wife and gave her nothin' but deceit
Eyes on your paper but I decided to cheat
Kids tellin' me they missed me I ain't seen 'em in some weeks
I was spendin' all my money like it grew on trees
Wasn't takin' no advice I was consumed by the greed
Assassinatin' my own character for the creed
I was down bad now I'm up I'm still down
Not too late still time to turn around
And be somebody new
The best version of you
I used to want the racks by the duffle and the checks by the millions
Wanted to protect my investment invest in my children
Now the hero finally got the cape then he turned into the villain
Now my check is reality I'm finally startin' to feel it
