[Verse 1]

That dummy hustler shit only get you as far as you can spit

See, see, see if the white man really give a shit

Yes sir, you in the presence of a brown cow, black sheep, clouds now, much more than an athlete

Used to chill after school with the math geeks

But that was like the 3rd grade, when people referred to the skin as Hershey

Knock knock on ya door like boy would ya like some chocolate?

Peep through the curtain and dash off like we ain't saw it

Is that a no to the chocolate?

No we haven't been ballin, we just need a dolla from ya wallet


[Hook]

Need a dolla from ya wallet

Said no we haven't been ballin

Need a dolla from ya wallet (x3)

Just a dolla from ya wallet!

Just a dolla from ya wallet

Aniekan, the entrepreneur, get stared at like he was conceived in the sewer

And it was tatted, since then been wearin glasses and hidin funds under the mattress, with the gun

Mr. Schmitty still poppin' pills and capsules like life is fun, or life fine

Check the hieroglyphics and see signs of a prodigy

Anecdote the time savior and the conversation is a commodity


[Verse 2]

Mommy, why Dote disappear when the lights flicker?

Lifes so good when ya drowning it in liquor

And the liquor as classic as snapping a nerd's glasses or being a cotton picker

Black face, the reason ya grandma stayed strapped with mace and the black boys stayed strapped with gats

We longing for belonging or we just some sewer rats

Flashback to boat race where I met Little Stuart at

I was just a laddy, surprise a black boy that actually know his daddy

But lord knows that a dynamic family don't make you happy

Adolescent content with some food in the pantry

And to the rappers water whippin and all that cool shit better make it snappy

Yeaaaaah, the fans love it

Shame the common-man gave up when god wasn't at the summit

Dote, please sum it up!


[Verse 3]

Nah probably not, probably forgot the bar about the chocolate, huh?

Get yo shit straight, heard food taste better when you setting others plates

Nah fuck that, call me self sufficient with the help of my parents

And it's apparent im too much of a lazy fuck to run errands

Can't relate those askin for favors without merit

He surprised we so the same yet so different

Surprised so many black kids freakin' love asparagus
