That's all a nigga got
So if it's 'bout that cream
Then I'm all up in the spot
I got a dollar and a dream
Just a dollar and a dream
Cole
Walk with a nigga, I give you my pain
So much on my mind I wonder how it fit in my brain
Scattered thoughts, dark secrets lead me to a blacker heart
Life can't get any worse, Stevie with his glasses off
'Cause I still don't see hope, lookin' for a quick fix
When everyone I see is broke, get lost in weed smoke
Knowing it make it worse, thoughts roam uncontrollably
Barely trustin' niggas, over a decade they been knowin' me
Shit, life at the bottom, nobody but God got 'em
They say he wouldn't leave me yet I'm fallin' like it's Autumn
Tell me, what do you do just when you're on your last dollar
And the stress of this mess you're in can make your ass holla?
Do you fold, grow bitter and grow cold?
No longer fightin' now the only thing you grow is old
Or do you flip that fuckin' dollar to a dream?
Whether a scholar or a fiend, watch a pawn become a king
Cole!

Mozart meets Humphrey Bogart with this from the heart shit
Play your part, life is but a dream for me
I get a flash of nightmares where niggas scheme on me
It's hard to see my enemies, who infiltrated my team?
I take a step back and notice that things ain't what they seem
That's when a nigga refocus, yeah I turn on them high beams
I got that red dot waitin', I'm wastin' your whole regime
I wish a nigga would, boy you can't out-smart me

But I suck it up for who? My fans, and my mans
Who probably never ever had this type of lifestyle in they plans
Hoppin' in and out of vans, on the buses, on the planes
Gettin' brain from a bitch and thinkin' "God damn, what's her name?"
Sometimes I just shake my head and tell myself this is a shame
And then my other side kick in like "Bitch don't be so fuckin' lame"
Dang, what a life, another day, another night
At times this shit is all blurry, pray and hope that God heard me
Just for those praying for me, man I know that y'all worry
But I ain't never failed and you can bet I never will

Walk with a nigga, I give you my pain
Caminhe com um negro, eu te dou minha dor
So much on my mind I wonder how it fit in my brain
Tanto na minha mente que me pergunto como cabe no meu cérebro
Scattered thoughts, dark secrets lead me to a blacker heart
Pensamentos dispersos, segredos sombrios me levam a um coração mais negro
Life can't get any worse, Stevie with his glasses off
A vida não pode piorar, Stevie sem seus óculos
'Cause I still don't see hope, lookin' for a quick fix
Porque eu ainda não vejo esperança, procurando uma solução rápida
When everyone I see is broke, get lost in weed smoke
Quando todos que eu vejo estão quebrados, se perdem na fumaça da maconha
Knowing it make it worse, thoughts roam uncontrollably
Sabendo que isso piora, pensamentos vagam incontrolavelmente
Barely trustin' niggas, over a decade they been knowin' me
Mal confiando nos negros, por mais de uma década eles me conhecem
Shit, life at the bottom, nobody but God got 'em
Merda, vida no fundo do poço, ninguém além de Deus tem eles
They say he wouldn't leave me yet I'm fallin' like it's Autumn
Dizem que ele não me deixaria, mas eu estou caindo como se fosse outono
Tell me, what do you do just when you're on your last dollar
Me diga, o que você faz quando está no seu último dólar
And the stress of this mess you're in can make your ass holla?
E o estresse dessa bagunça em que você está pode fazer sua bunda gritar?
Do you fold, grow bitter and grow cold?
Você desiste, fica amargo e frio?
No longer fightin' now the only thing you grow is old
Não luta mais, agora a única coisa que você cresce é velho
Or do you flip that fuckin' dollar to a dream?
Ou você transforma esse maldito dólar em um sonho?
Whether a scholar or a fiend, watch a pawn become a king
Seja um estudioso ou um viciado, veja um peão se tornar um rei

Hoppin' in and out of vans, on the buses, on the planes
Pulando dentro e fora de vans, nos ônibus, nos aviões
Gettin' brain from a bitch and thinkin' "God damn, what's her name?"
Recebendo sexo oral de uma vadia e pensando "Caramba, qual é o nome dela?"
Sometimes I just shake my head and tell myself this is a shame

Sautant dans et hors des vans, dans les bus, dans les avions
Gettin' brain from a bitch and thinkin' "God damn, what's her name?"
Se faire sucer par une meuf et penser "Putain, quel est son nom ?"
Sometimes I just shake my head and tell myself this is a shame
Parfois je secoue juste la tête et me dis que c'est une honte
And then my other side kick in like "Bitch don't be so fuckin' lame"
Et puis mon autre côté se manifeste comme "Meuf ne sois pas si putain de nulle"
Dang, what a life, another day, another night
Dang, quelle vie, un autre jour, une autre nuit
At times this shit is all blurry, pray and hope that God heard me
Parfois cette merde est toute floue, je prie et j'espère que Dieu m'a entendu
Just for those praying for me, man I know that y'all worry
Juste pour ceux qui prient pour moi, mec je sais que vous vous inquiétez
But I ain't never failed and you can bet I never will
Mais je n'ai jamais échoué et vous pouvez parier que je ne le ferai jamais
