I don't want money, wanna get respect
But the money look good when I bounce that check
Living in the past make you break your neck
Only got one life can't hit reset
I don't want cheddar, wanna get that power
Wanna be made not paid by the hour
Making me wait while they eat that steak
And my life at stake with a plate full of powder
Don't wanna be rich with a bitch and a benZ
Watch and yaht and a heart that's empty
Wanna love my queen, cuz she love my dream
Wanna raise her team, that's why she kept me
Want a good name, don't wanna be famous
Hug and drug and a plug that's shameless
Played your role and lost control
You sold your soul - it felt so painless
I'm not settling
Cuz I got everything
I'm not settling
Cuz I got everything
Don't wanna make loot and then lose myself
When I make that money, won't ask for help
Wanna wish me well wanna see me fail
Round two on you, boy ring that bell
Don't wanna be a killa, don't push me
Kick a door in, playing footsie
Minimum wage like a modern day salve
Old white man money living kushy
Hustler, just like the magazine
Naked when I rap but I'm managing
But I keeps it real, that's how I feel
That's the deal when you're living in a colony
Don't wanna be a slave to the paper
Bill past due, getting later
Trusted Uncle Sam, but he stole my land
Can't eat when you're working as a waiter
I'm not settling
Cuz I got everything
I'm not settling
Cuz I got everything
High for the night, then fight for my life
Wanna make it right with what I'm given
Curbed my rage and slipped the cage
I turned the page, and I'm still livin'
Everyday we live is a victory
But not if we repeating history
Make that cash, and smoke that stash
But it don't last like misery
What you gonna do when death come callin
Pain on your brain and the rain keep fallin'
What you gonna do with all that dough
Got so much flow but none to show
Cuz all yo peeps is dead and gone
The ones you left gonna carry on
In the same damn place, same damn rat race
You living big but living wrong
Shoulda coulda woulda's
Christifying Buddahs
Beater to the bula's
Life to the fullest
Shoulda coulda woulda's
Christifying Buddahs
Beater to the bula's
Life to the fullest
Dipping my account to a single digit
Looking for fulfillment haven't seen her minute
I'm an infinite if anything a mediocre meddling
Trying find some peace without feeling like I'm settling
Got love, got family and I be wanting more
Focus my insanity yeah what we stopping for
Hustle hard and grind that's my intuition
Satisfied my mind or maybe I'm conditioned
Baby I'm just wishin on a better day
Work myself to death, there's gotta be a better way
Baby I'm just wishin on a better day
Work myself to death, there's gotta be a better way
