[Verse 1: JAVAE]

Truthfully

Before all of that shit, family comes first

And that's where you gain all your roots and your worth

I think my fathers' side probably was hit with a curse

From the shit over the years that I've endured

I'm only 23

At 11, I already matured

My parents were at work more than they was at home

That's why I'm so chill, now that I'm grown

More focused on financially building a throne

And getting more wiser over the time that is given in a society where sinning and repentin' seems like the main tradition

But I ain't trippin'

Livin' life, eatin' good, maintainin'

Me and my queen tight, so no more name blamin'

Or arguing over some stupid shit

We more like Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Moving on some back to back shit, she got a mind of her own

You know that a king without a queen won't reign for long

[Hook]

So it's like one for the money

Two for show

Three for the love

Four for the smoke

Five for them queens that hold you down through the cold

When you in a drought, and your paper don't fold

That's a cleopatra, don't lose your diamond to some hoes

Don't lose your diamond to some hoes, you betta

Listen to your woman, she'll turn your goals into gold

She'll turn your goals into gold, uh

And she hold a nigga down

Let you know whenever someone aimin' at the crown

She the reason my heart gotta sound

Not a sap nigga, just not afraid to show my shawty that I'm passionate about our goals and dreams happenin'

She helped me beat my habits when I thought my life was going to end

If you put your pride aside, you can see

Women got all of the gems

From motivation to encouraging niggas to no longer be basic and how to move in this matrix

How the fuck you gon' shift the nation if your heart complacent?

No longer can I let this ignorance strip me naked

Went from sittin' around high, lookin' lost, then my girl taught me opportunity cost

Now I spend my time on shit that matter

Ain't nobody in this world gon' give you a silver platter

When a real nigga gotta go provide for his own, a true ride or die wanna see you pull the sword out the stone

[Hook]

So it's like one for the money

Two for show

Three for the love

Four for the smoke

Five for them queens that hold you down through the cold

When you in a drought, and your paper don't fold

That's a cleopatra, don't lose your diamond to some hoes

Don't lose your diamond to some hoes, you betta

Listen to your woman, she'll turn your goals into gold

She'll turn your goals into gold, uh
