It's all about the way you think
How your mind set is
I was a kid with curly hair with a granny that was in her 30s
She used to tell me, "Girl, enjoy your youth, why you in a hurry?"
Was coming home late but in the morning, I was dipping early
Cause me and moms couldn't see eye to eye, made my vision blurry
Play fighting, running with boys, I was kind of rugged
My first fist fight was with a boy cause he tried fucking
Stacking pennies of my thoughts to a dollar inside a bucket
This game's a coin toss but it's all just a dime a dozen
On the road, doing shows, my phone rung, nigga saying
That my pops was missing, he still battle with drugs and I hate it
I only worry about my moms cause she in love and it's jaded
But she don't tell me cause she think that I'm a judge her for staying
Making the same mistakes over and over, shit's so robotic
We standing by your side but it can get over crowded
Things we never talk about, I keep my lips closed about it
They call me a sneaky child cause I just tip-toe around it
Last year, I caught myself quitting music, too many politics
And plus the money's slow and they never give me acknowledgement
My husband said, "With all due respect, you don't sound patient
You gon' spend your first five years setting your foundation
You just don't get it forward, your
Time coming, just stay prepared for it"
Was holding all the cards but now niggas wanna declare wars
Tell me stay on my job but it's hard to feel employed
I got it all from blood, sweat, and these tears of joy
When I was just a rug rat, sneaking and watching porn
Oblivious to this life, that's the reason that I mature
Made cousins spend the night on the weekends when I was bored
Not enough beds so we was sleeping right on the floor
I felt like I could change the world by the way that I think
I tell my friends it's systematic, this industry training sheep
You can hear it in the music, they tryna erase us clean
And I ask them what they think and
They tell me it ain't that deep, damn
Cruising through the city with dreams underneath these vanilla skies
Cruising through the city with dreams underneath these vanilla skies
Cruising through the city with dreams underneath these vanilla skies
Cruising through the city with dreams underneath these vanilla skies
