Easy come, easy go, That's just how you live, oh, Take, take, take it all, But you never give. Should've known you was trouble From the first kiss, Had your eyes wide open. Why were they open? Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash, You tossed it in the trash, you did. To give me all your love is all I ever asked, 'cause What you don't understand is I'd catch a grenade for ya Throw my hand on a blade for ya I'd jump in front of a train for ya You know I'd do anything for ya Oh, oh, I would go through all of this pain, Take a bullet straight through my brain! Yes, I would die for ya, baby, But you won't do the same. ↗

We wipe our ass with paper, we write on paper So how people lose they life for paper? Broke niggas lose they wives for paper Get locked up, niggas do life for paper Why do we chase this, paper with big faces Of men who was fuckin' racist? And if it was up to them my black ass Would still be in the back of a slave ship Fuck that, I'mma spend soon as I get it Hammer time nigga I can bet a rich nigga died yesterday And I can guarantee the money ain't go with him So I'mma just ball the fuck out while I'm livin' And when I'm gone they gonna say he did it Came from nothin' to standin' on top of the world And ain't nobody helped me with it Talk to me ↗
