Jordan Theory

[Chorus] Most of our lives… We’ve been hearing no, uh-uh, no Most of our lives it was uh-uh, no You can’t have that, you can’t go We can’t afford that, uh-uh, no [Verse 1: Masta Ace] Gold, diamonds, everybody’s shining Bridge over troubled waters, Paul Simon But that bridge is controlled by a troll To cross over here, you gotta pay the toll Only problem is the toll is your soul A grip on reality here is hard to hold Can’t hit the dealership, cop that Maybach Can’t get the same Rolex that Drake got Yet still, he’s so materialistic If anybody gave this theory, I missed it He rides the new waves, buys some new J’s And bust them shits open like a can of biscuits Then everybody like, “Wow, look what he got Brand new colorway, them ain’t Reebok Them shits cost like three months rent” And his ex-girl knows what he once spent That's why she moved out, she ain’t coming back Winter is here now, can’t get summer back Cold war caused by wasteful spending Trust me, he’s gon’ hate the ending Fresh pair of 4’s turn a peasant to God And being called broke, leave a resident scarred Brand new Michaels make your life glow Cause time in the hood is unpleasant and hard, damn [Chorus] We’ve been hearing no, uh-uh, no Most of our lives it was uh-uh, no You can’t have that, you can’t go We can’t afford that, uh-uh, no All of our lives it was, uh-uh, no All we ever heard was, uh-uh, no Can’t build wealth now, we can’t grow Cause we still remember that, uh-uh, no [Verse 2: Masta Ace] My Eminem J’s worth 30K fam That’s why cats throw shade like Ray-Ban Want me to sell to the highest bidder They home like, “Come on, lets try his Twitter” All in my DMs looking for price breaks They don’t understand that this game is high stakes I remember mom saying, them cost too much Shell toe Adidas cost 32 bucks Bring him those black stripe, but size 9 Can’t be a player when you’re on the sideline We ain’t going broke for a pair of footwear So you can try to stunt for them girls with good hair Nappy head hoes don’t care if your shoes fly You from the projects, you ain’t bourgeois I say Whoosah, can’t have tantrum Mom saying no was our favorite anthem [Chorus] We’ve been hearing no, uh-uh, no Most of our lives it was uh-uh, no You can’t have that, you can’t go We can’t afford that, uh-uh, no All of our lives it was, uh-uh, no All we ever heard was, uh-uh, no Can’t build wealth now, we can’t grow Cause we still remember that, uh-uh, no
