[Intro]

It's how it is

Sorry to bust your bubble

Look

[Verse 1]

I don't give a fuck if nobody ain't feeling me this time

'Cause this is real talk when I'm depicting this rhyme

It's me being honest when I'm feeling it this time

It ain't that I'm hating all rappers, it's just I'm

Tired of the way of the game

So much better being honest, we all lie and hide away all the pain

If a rapper say he balling, the truth of it is

Probably broke off last time 'cause the booth isn't his

They make it seem like it's a lucrative biz

When in fact, only ten kats a year make enough for their kids

To go to college 'cause we lack knowledge and know how

And I'm just trying to say how it go down

It ain't all crazy in the life that's lime

Getting paid eight hunnid for a show when they ain't seeing a dime

But fans to my song they love it

They don't know I'm flat broke 'cause I still ain't recoup my budget

[Chorus]

I ain't tripping off of riches

I just hope that I make it

I'm tired of being broke

I just hope that I make it

Man when I was growing up I used to

Hope that I make it

And now I'm coming up and I know I'm about to make it

I ain't tripping off of riches

I just hope that I make it

I'm tired of being broke

I just hope that I make it

Man when I was growing up I used to

Hope that I make it

And now I'm coming up and I know I'm about to make it

[Verse 2]

Hell yeah it feels good when fans scream and they feel me on stage

But when I'm not behind the mic I'm making minimum wage

Contracts with this label got me locked in the cage

But I still know I'm doper though than any my age

And haters want to talk, I don't even let it get to me

'Cause I be on their mind so much I guess they into me

Kinda on some homo shit, I guess they envy me

'Cause I'm doing me instead of something I pretend to be

Maybe 'cause their girlfriend's friending me

But on that note, I've been between more legs than a centipede

We might lie about the money we have

But get it clear, we never lie about the girls we bagged

They throw it at me, I don't even have to try no more

Ever since I came up I guess they think I'm a star

But look, all this hating man this shit's uncalled for

Just trying to live a life that I worked so hard for

[Chorus]

I ain't tripping off of riches

I just hope that I make it

I'm tired of being broke

I just hope that I make it

Man when I was growing up I used to

Hope that I make it

And now I'm coming up and I know I'm about to make it

I ain't tripping off of riches

I just hope that I make it

I'm tired of being broke

I just hope that I make it

Man when I was growing up I used to

Hope that I make it

And now I'm coming up and I know I'm about to make it
