The Answer

I know how to get money, why I do I trust my way/ Could’ve had my twin/ She supposed to be where I lay/All I want for me is to care for myself/but instead I put my trust into some faith/ If I put my energy into what I love/I create/ That’s the way I think/I had to clear the old thoughts. Move into a higher place/Now I’m on my own/ Didn’t spend a penny and I got my own space/Manifestation is great/Money is the root of evil because of the way we think/It’s not really bad/ Could’ve been rich but I love smoking that fire/Litteeally the only thing I require/ Like damn I can’t smoke in the higher/Realm/My frequency is high as fuck/ I can tell/ Always make money for weed/but nothing else/Start to make me a bag and my ass go off to jail/Didn’t have no bail that’s the worst Part/Twin mom had to get her out/That shit broke me down/I’m posed to be a man/Nobody showed me how/Couldn’t take the street route/Mama made me scared of that/But I still hung with some street niggas/So that’s the way I think/No Cap/Worked a few jobs/Matter fact/I worked a lot/Fights with all my bosses/Got me off the clock/Always knew I was a boss/I wasn’t fit to work a job/But seeing bro in jail, dead, or even getting robbed/Then you think you fuck with somebody but they just plotting/In the hood/It’s limit options/Then you find out yo twin flame really a savage/Showed you a side of you/but you forgot that you had it/Now y'all causing havoc/Jah and Selah wrote a new rights of passage/But it started with a question/who am I/If you want to know the truth/Gotta look up in the box/Not out it/everything I went thru/I learned from it/So I can’t do nothing but trust/I know my turn coming
