You know some people in my city wear the finest clothes

Fast cars, bangin' systems and designer phones

The newest big screen TVs inside they homes

Hydraulics, on dubs and lots of shinin' chrome

Then you go to their apartment and there's no milk in the fridge

They months late on child support steady gyppin' they kids

Whole place is run down with no cash in the bank

Matter of fact they thousands of dollars down in the tank

Yo, Absent ain't like that. I spend responsibly

And pick up just about anything I can find for free

And I don't blow my money on 40s, smokes and blunts

I only rock shirts with alligators embroidered on the front

Okay. Maybe not but I copped some fake Obsession

From a cat selling outside of the parking lot at Food 4 Less

And what's more, I used to get shoes from drug stores

I got clowned for my Ponys back in grade number 4

See, back then, everyone had new Air Jordans

I was sportin' Filos, Reebaks and Doc Mortons

Nobody make fun of my shoes aiight

Brand new Adidas with 4 stripes

Knockoffs, it's the Knockoffs...

Tijiuana Tolex, rubber band Boflex

Got my can of Dr. Thunder y'all...

I got upset yo

When heads made fun of my Geo Metro

So I splurged a little, traded it in for that used Echo

Them Ford Focuses was just a little too pricey

I never get pulled over even when I'm going 90

You'll find me at the grocery store, comparin' the price

Stocking up on Top Ramen pasta and rice, yo

Check the lyrical style running a miracle mile

Up and down the cereal isle

Buying them giant bags of generic cereal from the shelf next to the floor

Cause that way you pay less and get more

I got the Coco Blasts and the Ricey Crunchies

Fruity Hula Hoops and the Choco Puffies

Oh you saying that's cheap, man, back off, it's all the same stuff

Just in a big bag instead of a little box

And you don't get, like, a toy and stuff, but so what? I'm supposed to spend like 2 dollars more for that little box of cereal just to get that plastic toy...

Knockoffs, it's the knockoffs...

Let's go to that 3 dollar movie y'all

Me in my fake Gucci y'all, dollar store fat laces
