Ayy, man
You know they got it out for niggas like us, you know what I'm sayin'?
Since you doin' your thing then you should like put me on, you feel me?
Man, you know I've been tryna get my money right
Nigga, hol' on

I can't get no paper with you till you get your mind right
Can't have your dark cloud dim, dimmin' my light
Can't get no paper with you till you get your mind right
Can't have your dark cloud dim, dimmin' my light

Can't get no money with you till you get your mind right
Them demons that's holdin' you back still in your eyesight
Forever slackin' dirty mackin' just to get some limelight
Whatever captain, we'll make it happen whenever time's right
See me movin' and shakin' and playin' with hustlers that's hustlin'
Crossin' their t's and dottin' their I's and us
Hard workers with purpose gon' spot a clown in the circus
No matter makeup, jewelry, clout, can't disguise

I can't get no paper with you till you get your mind right
Can't have your dark cloud dim, dimmin' my light
Can't get no paper with you till you get your mind right
Can't have your dark cloud dim, dimmin' my light

I wanna help, I really, really, really do
But I been watchin' for a while and hustlin' ain't really you
So brodie do yourself a favor, find yourself something to do
Get in the mirror with them morals, watch the glue fall off your shoe
We know you're stuck up in your ways still, tryna play still
Out here chasing 'round them women that's like half your age still
Think 'cause you grew up in the hood that you in a cage still
Blamin' others for your fumbles, worryin' about some j's still, omg
And don't try to buck my system 'cause it ain't no hoe in me
Made it out the trenches, know that 'fore you try to go at me
Don't be so defensive, boy, the truth just sound like poetry
I guarantee this talk gon' put your ass right where you're supposed to be
But right now, I'ma keep it clean, bro
I got too much goin' on, I can't be playin' with my time, you know?
On God

I can't get no paper with you till you get your mind right
Can't have your dark cloud dim, dimmin' my light
Can't get no paper with you till you get your mind right
Can't have your dark cloud dim, dimmin' my light

You know what I'm sayin'?
Yeah, it ain't that I don't wanna fuck with you, but I can't right now
You know what I'm sayin'?
Like, I know, I know, I know
You see what's goin' on, but it's a lot of shit, you know what I'm sayin'?
They gotta get tight, you feel me?
Like a lot of shit, you gotta get tight, you know what I'm sayin'?
Yeah, I know, I know
Yeah, we came up together
Yeah, I know all that, all that, yeah, yeah but
I got a big ass village, bro, and I can't have nothin' knock it off its square
You know what I'm sayin'?
Nothin'
It's not, I'm just sayin'
This has nothin' to do with you, this is less about you and more about me, so
I just want you to understand that
Real nigga gon' tell you that, I ain't gon' have you callin' my phone and
And doin' all that weirdo shit
I'ma keep it clean with you
