[00:55.354]Drug use and doll faces
[00:57.377]Can make or break ya
[00:59.233]I stood off by the wall and watched them skip the line
[01:02.360]One night it's gon' be me inside
[01:04.714]God damn
[01:06.559]It ain't easy, let me tell ya
[01:08.537]Account is overdrawn
[01:10.013]Doing sessions in the valley every other night
[01:13.621]Connections only get you so far
[01:16.344]So far
[01:17.968]But oh, what a feeling (How it feels)
[01:21.376]Oh, what a thrill (You would kill)
[01:24.423]To look down from these hills
[01:27.193]Put the life I knew behind, but still
[01:30.574]It's don't feel for real, 'cause I still ain't ate a meal
[01:35.619]My stomach growling but I'm still ****ing styling
[01:38.547]Spent my last 20 drunk, & Uber riding
[01:42.150]Ain't nobody cutting checks, if you ain't happy smiling

[01:51.101]Doing sessions in the valley every other night
[01:54.811]And it goes on and on
[01:59.593]Yet I'm proud that I'm chasing something
[02:05.968]It's all in all better than being a broke, bored, & back at home
[02:12.731]Oh, yes. It's all about making something
[02:19.658]That's all in all bigger than anything I'd ever known

[02:31.349]Poor folks & tall riches, & plus the bitches
[02:35.160]I stood off by the wall & watched 'em pick a side
[02:38.371]One day from now, we all could die
[02:40.687]God damn
