A college dropout

Bumping Kanye on my way to school

My momma told me a diploma is the greatest tool

I'm smoking on my sofa, thinking of a lame excuse

Fuck it, it's like the average person hates the truth

I'd be lying if I said I couldn't pay for books

Could've went harder than my father instead of blaming dude

It's hard to manage when you carry someone else's baggage

I want to pack and leave

A pen and a bag of trees

Crazy where I live, they'll take your life for only half a key

Never met his father, he died young, he never got to grieve

It's crazy how it is but it's not how it has to be

They leave us in the streets but it's not where we have to be

Fast to preach, but no action where there has to be

Practice what you're preaching like a pastor fighting demons

A lot of them misleading, like a lot of them miss leading

They do it for the following, they do it for the dollars in

Money runs everything, of course that's where the power is

And who wants to be powerless, it's why I'm selling drugs and shit

Never thought I'd fall for this, but once you're in, it's hard to quit

I used to dig a lot of chicks, they dissed but now they rock with this

Yeh

But I could do better, and I could do better

Yeh, told me I could do better, and I could do better

Yeh I could do better, I could do better

Said I could do better, I could do better

I'm guessing this is all it takes, they want you when your pockets straight

Y'all could have the fake love, I'm grinding till they start to hate

I'm bummy when I spot the jakes, they on me till they run the plates

My other homie caught a case, he's fighting, never caught a break

Victim of a circumstance, fighting back will hurt your chance

They came up with a perfect plan

Said the poor stay poor

And the rich gain more, the door stays closed

And the rich gain more, the door stays closed

Uh, so how we do better?

How we do better

Just tell em' how we do...
