Can't Make This Up

(专辑： Fortune Favors The Bold - 2023)

Started with a nickel bag of regular green
I'm trynna do some shit they never seen
They told us never dream
Tried to kill our dreams
Never dream, uh
Told us never dream, uh

Started with a nickel bag of regular green
I'm trynna do some shit they never seen
They told us never dream
I woke up, everything was broke
Even my family members
Got nominations I receive
Something the Grammys send us
Grams, we split 'em
Break 'em down and sell the whole thing
It's hard to give advice to a younging just got a gold chain
He don't wanna hear that shit, he touching paper
I told him where I'm at, it's quiet
Ain't gotta cuss my neighbors
I told him never trust a snake
And never love a hater
Nigga we tryna be Kobe, just not another Laker
We need property, like Rick Ross sitting on a hundred acres
Them Swiss rolls for dinner used to have my stomach aching
I told him keep some lawyer money in case a case come up
Some niggas get to stealing, try to duck some lay it up
If they been down, make sure they round to dap your paper up
If niggas ain't buying no plates, we just gon' eighth 'em up
School was never in my plans, I couldn't wait to cut
Watching niggas spend they last, while I was saving up
I watched whole families get boxed like the Brady bunch
Spent so much time down, can't wait to feel the day we up
Can't make this up

I can't make this up, I can't make this up, look
I can't make this up, I can't make this up, nah
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up

Really speak my life, when I get a beat
From Jones to Venice beach don't know who this feeling reach
I feel complete, remove the roof so I can feel the breeze
The hoodie is still Semeen
It's foreign the real machine
I'm eating lumpia, the chef in from the Philippines
Take his top off, hard to intervene with a guillotine
If he ain't touch a dub yet, his pickets is still a teen
It's future, I never liked you, or Michael shit, that Billy Jean
Me and you cannot relate, we into different things
I move like this you move like that, see, we got different skins
These denim tears, no these is Levi's, these is different jeans
Some one at weed, someone at coke, shit, we had different fiends

Pick a team and we can bet it
Niggas pay attention 'cause I said it
One life I won't regret it
I can't make this up, it ain't a fairytale
Ours bread was very stale
I know they feel my shit in every jail, uh

I can't make this up, I can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up

Can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up

Too bad the niggas don't really know
Ain't around to tell 'em, niggas how it went
I can't make this up

True story, reality
I can't make this up
