[Verse 1]

One week in but I'm two years strong

I had some extra time so I wrote this song

I'll only be in school for like two more years

So I got to run and ask the lord what he got in the store

Yeah I'm halfway through

Now I'm looking around the campus like "Who brung you?"

So I guess I'll hit you all with the two-one-two

Yeah, I'll hit ya with the 2-12

[Verse 2]

Be the last one out to get this dough, no way

I dropped 1k on the football tickets

Now watch me get it

And you won't see me at a single game

I'll resell every single ticket with no shame

Investing, got the make back mindset

My first whip about to be a Maybach - my mind's set

But I got time to decide

So maybe a Tesla

But not before I get my first paycheck, that's how they get ya

[Verse 3]

So I can't let the system swoop me

That's why I paid in cash and drive my hoopty

No car loans just to keep the record straight

And I copped the credit card just to boost my credit rate

Praying to God I stay debt free until the day I graduate

But when you look at my life and evaluate

You got to ask

"How a black broke boy learn to save that cash?"

"When his momma never had money?"

I member people told me just ask your dad for money

Ain't that funny? How I did it by myself?

And I never asked for help?

Man you can't take that from me

But speaking actually

Speaking factually

I got my family so I'm never alone - they at home

And the Holy Spirit

When I pray, I hear it

So I want to thank the Lord for the cards that I started with

'Cuz I played my hand well and ended up with a scholarship

That's why I can't play around like the novices

Don't have the privilege of Obama's kids

All my life I had to fight, like the Gaza Strip

But I got more blessings, that's just one part of it

I'm getting to the heart of it

Yeah, I'm gettin' to the heart of it

[Outro]

Momma always told me my future's so bright that it burned her eyes

Then I turned twenty and saw a solar eclipse on the sky

That's when I realized that she never told me lies

Whole nation looking up with shades, triple polarized

So her son don't burn they eyes
