Heh-heh-heh-heh

I'm good man, I'm good, let's go

They say it isn't what you have in your pocket that makes you grateful

It's what you have in your heart

If you don't appreciate what you have right now

You'll never appreciate what's coming to you in the future

That's what they say

Now let's just be honest here, I don't need a million in bills

To be happy, I got a family and the feeling is real

I'm not saying I don't want to make it, I'm all for money making

I'm not a loser cause my house ain't on twenty acres

It's not the best thing or super-interesting

Cause I don't have a British butler in the West Wing

You laugh at it, you can happily leave

It's not a mansion to you but it's a castle to me

And my car is far from an Aston Martin

I need jumper cables sometimes attached to start it

Since the day I brought it home, but I bought it on my own

So oh, that auto zone rarely has the parts in

Your gas guzzling ride, it costs way more

Oh yeah brother, that's fly, but mine's paid for

Don't get it confused, we human and we all dream

But personally I appreciate the small things

I'm just being honest with you, huh

"I can purchase you a diamond"

Can I just be honest with you?

"But it won't be the most expensive diamond"

That's all that I can do

"Honey, money can buy"

This little house of mine, it ain't much but it suits me fine

"And I'll tell you no lie, no, no, baby"

I ain't gotta lie, it gets me by and it just suits me fine

I can't give my woman the world, I'm pretty certain on it

But she respect that these sincere words are honest

If I heard she wanted it, might take a little while

She still smile knowing that I'm working on it

See to y'all, she might not be Miss America

But to me she's perfect, I was quick to marry her

And if it came down to having another child

She's the only woman allowed or fit to carry it

And honestly, I ain't gotta lie to myself

I ain't no GQ model myself, don't watch for a six-pack

Hell, my belly sticks out of my belt

But the lady of my life loves how it just felt

And though we may turn heads when we out in public

Personal flaws, we both feel proudly of it

Shit, she'll put you in your place in a second

I may bitch about her but no doubt I love it

I'm just being honest with you

I'mma just be real witcha, I ain't tryna sell ya religion

But everything I'm going through, God's heavily involved

I don't think celebrities need to be treated heavenly

For that reason alone, I'll never be a star

I don't need people in the streets to know me

Man I kinda like keeping it discreet and low-key

Without being popular, nah

I wanna walk in the mall without the whole place dropping their jaws

And my friends, I know who the real ones are

They'll be here tomorrow, they ain't tryna steal my broad

My light, my shine, my money, anything that they hope for

Can't backstab when there's nothing to show for

I know a few people 'round the world got support for me

I don't mind if my life's told in a short story

I believe, yeah

It's all about how many lives that you touch by the time that you leave here

I'm being honest man
