Chorus:
I ain’t got no money, dollars going up in smoke
Burning pockets, gotta throw out half my pants from all the holes
Try to save and it just goes, but I’ll get it under control
Don’t get it twisted, I’m not po’ just at the moment, I am broke
I ain’t got no money, dollars going up in smoke
Burning pockets, gotta throw out half my pants from all the holes
Try to save and it just goes, but I’ll get it under control
Don’t get it twisted, I’m not po’ just at the moment, I am broke
Verse 1:
Things been heavy on me, I can feel this weight deep down on me
Shoulders holding boulders, hide it, don’t want people ‘round to see
Try to work it out myself, I know that’s how it’s bound to be
But why do I refusе the help from peoplе looking out for me?
I think it’s pride, scared to admit that I’m not where I thought I’d be
Second guess myself, am I doing this because I want to be?
Or is it ‘cause it’s all I know and I can do it comfortably?
Do I need to reassess my values? I spend too long pondering
I’m sick of relying on public transport, got me wondering if I am the one I stand for
Looking back on my life in a subtle trance, you’re wasting it all on rap they ain’t buying, so what you playing for?
‘Cause I know the money’s temporary
Right now I’m broke, but I’m building a sanctuary
The investing’s scary but I know that I was meant to share these
And I’ll do it ‘til I’m dead and buried, but I’m broke right now ‘cause
Chorus:
I ain’t got no money, dollars going up in smoke
Burning pockets, gotta throw out half my pants from all the holes
Try to save and it just goes, but I’ll get it under control
Don’t get it twisted, I’m not po’ just at the moment, I am broke
I ain’t got no money, dollars going up in smoke
Burning pockets, gotta throw out half my pants from all the holes
Try to save and it just goes, but I’ll get it under control
Don’t get it twisted, I’m not po’ just at the moment, I am broke
Verse 2:
I have lost all material
Just my voice in the stereo, load up and here we go
Noise all around and in the road
So I am walking tryna clear my dome
Take a right on Cedarton Crescent then loop around all of the streets
Connect and feel better, remove the doubt often I see
I’m Nebuchadnezzar in booth, but trout/tuna to eat
Remembering when I’d go to Caloundra for a week
That was the getaway, I used to hit a weight and meditate, every stay, I would realign my head again
I’m realizing ever since the day I’ve been away, if in a rage I’ve been to blame, just separate and resonate
With the reasons why you even got up out the bed today
Lately, I’ve been feeling getting out of bed’s a waste
To be honest, what’s the point if ain’t no bread to make?
The only reason I get up’s to put the pen to page
I don’t think I am depressed again, nah, you got it wrong, prolly ‘cause of all the melancholy songs
When I look at what I got, I think it’s not enough but I just drove past a Holden Viva in my Aurion
And I remember I am blessed so very
Twenty years I celebrated back in January
But absent from family, ‘cause I’m chasing rap, eventually
They gon’ have to get the cameras ready, not right now though ‘cause
Chorus:
I ain’t got no money, dollars going up in smoke
Burning pockets, gotta throw out half my pants from all the holes
Try to save and it just goes, but I’ll get it under control
Don’t get it twisted, I’m not po’ just at the moment, I am broke
I ain’t got no money, dollars going up in smoke
Burning pockets, gotta throw out half my pants from all the holes
Try to save and it just goes, but I’ll get it under control
Don’t get it twisted, I’m not po’ just at the moment, I am broke
Verse 3:
I’ve been tryna make some changes
Trying too hard to escape the cage but I ain’t break the chains yet
No I ain’t never bragged a bag, but I can’t help but feel I faked I made it
Haven't found an audience or base that plays him
Hasn’t got no one to watch him grace the stage yet
No place in playlists, but this was your choice so
Buddy, you don’t really got no place complaining
When you put yourself right here, don’t tell lies here
Stop acting like you wasn’t dealt right hand
Could’ve had yourself a white-picket fence and a steady paying job, unlimited shelf-life there
But Stanthorpe wasn’t big enough for Sun Light’s head
Don’t think you made a bad decision moving right here
But just acknowledge that when you had chose to rap, the conditions were in fine print, written underlined there
Insecurities tryna get me convinced I’m wrong
But I don’t regret my decisions, all the guilt is gone
Following the dream through Sun or rain or wind and fog
Sun Light is my name, it’s what I built it on
And so I’mma be the best I can be
Remind myself why I resented Plan B
Though the gems ain’t near me, they never needed a cent to hear me
Free music and to vent is care-free, so I’ll keep going even when
Chorus:
I ain’t got no money, dollars going up in smoke
Burning pockets, gotta throw out half my pants from all the holes
Try to save and it just goes, but I’ll get it under control
Don’t get it twisted, I’m not po’ just at the moment, I am broke
I ain’t got no money, dollars going up in smoke
Burning pockets, gotta throw out half my pants from all the holes
Try to save and it just goes, but I’ll get it under control
Don’t get it twisted, I’m not po’ just at the moment, I am broke
