nickel - enkay47 lyrics

if i had a nickel, for every time that somebody told me
i should find a new career, i’d be rich as f*ck
if i had a nickel, for every time that somebody told me
i should prob’ly give this up, i’d be rich as f*ck

i think it started when i was back in the seventh grade
near december break, my teacher said i should medicate
wait, let me demonstrate
hey, just a second, nate

‘kay, if you want, i can get you in special ed, today
great, that really sounds like a plan
then she hands me a helmet, a piece of paper, and crayons
you can’t that sh*t!
sorry, i’m just telling a story, just trying not to be boring
if it’s offensive, ignore me, it’s simple
overdraft fees, have become a business expense
i hope that i can eat, so every week, i sit in suspense
i’m a musician, i do this sh*t for commission
the only way, that i can eat, is if you believe in my mission, so

if i had a nickel, for every time that somebody told me
i should prob’ly give this up, i’d be rich as f*ck
if i had a nickel, for every time that somebody told me
i should work with kufis, well, i’ma switch this up

well, if i had a nickel, for every rhyme that i’ve written
then i’d prob’ly have a sh*tload of change, stacked to the ceiling, wow
and if i had a nickel, for every crime i committed
then i’d prob’ly be the richest emcee, with a life sentence, ow

my thoughts are so vivid and dark, i need night vision, yeah
like writing raps, in the pitch black, with no light switches, yeah
or drivin’ down a dead*end, and i’m playin’ chicken
got me screamin’, “god d*mn!”, like god just might listen

see, my mom was raised muslim, my dad was slight christian
so, imagine growin’ up as a child was quite different
i liked skippin’ school, ’cause the street was more intriguing
not knowing the meaning of life, ’cause it’s sorta misleading
they say life is a b*tch, but sayin’, b*tch, is demeaning
b*tches are like dogs, so yeah, b*tch is the meaning
you’re reading between the lines, too much, it’s really simple
same face, on the two dollar bill, is on the nickel

oh*oh*oh, for every time that somebody told me
oh*oh*oh, i should find a new career, i’d be rich as f*ck
yuh!
oh*oh*oh, for every time that somebody told me
oh*oh*oh, i should prob’ly give this up, i’d be rich as f*ck

lemme tell you what i’ve learned through life
lesson one, no one cares, unless you’ve earned your stripes
lesson two, no one really gives a f*ck about you
outside, immediate family, close friends, it’s true
lesson three, never give up on what you feel is your dream
i’m sounding a bit cliche, but f*ck, you gotta belive
you got a negative thought, just k!ll it off, and repeat
success is a state of mind, you’re either strong, or you’re weak

nice, heads, i got what i wanted
i put the nickel in my pocket, ’cause i needed the money
not greedy, or nothin’, is not like i been stealing, or something
repeatedly bluffing, on myself
i think i’m becoming a slave to the money
