[Intro] We're in a [?] deficit in this country We're running on paper money, there's no-there's no gold Nobody right now, that's the point That's why John F. Kennedy got killed Because he wanted the government to go back to the gold standard Look (Tony Seltzer) [Verse 1] Woke up, pulled my socks up like I'm playing soccer Nah, I ain't playing poppa I stay on top of, no days off If I ain't making a song, I'm drawing Making a mock up for the next song I'm dropping My life is my job, when I wake up to Tonka Spark a [?] until late rawdogging baby momma All the drama ends up on the latest CD ram Livestreaming now, hard keeping up with all the change Seems constantly the game is altered too often Thought they lost him [?] made him an orphan The scholar [?] only saw a couple dollars After all the tours now I'm staying [?] I prayed to be up [?] raging alcoholic Almost gave it up but [?] whatever pay they tossed him Fuck that, I got too much heat to wait for offers Thought about it, Wik got too much reach to take your offers Y'all made a monster, made me this way [?] The crazy part [?] say your Our Fathers I'm y'all fathers, so on Father's Day make sure that y'all calling But really just a kid with a baseball cap, a Spalding Following whatever it is his mom taught him [Chorus] The golden child holding down '93 they wrote him out [?] 2012 [?] it down 2018 when they threw him out Life goes on, ain't shit you can do about it Tell me how you doing now kid, how you been?
