Hate Being Poor

But It Turns You To A Beast

I chose to smoke it not to sell it

I couldn't hide that from my family

I can't even order food without getting clammily

But do you know what feels good?

Everyday I wanna know if I'm there

If I'm inching closer to that prayer

Nothing seems real yet I keep on

From all of it I need deep isolation

Something distract me from the devastation

Cause I'm broke as fuck and aint nothing changing

I'll mob with the boys and understand elation

Even with wisdom money is nothing without information
