want vs need (let nas down remix) - rich g lyrics
this is the realest sh*t i ever wrote
these the truest words i ever spoke
i only need to get wealth to have financial security
growin’ up the thought of that was absurd to me
there was no alternative either make it or go hungry
that’s why since a youngin’ my eyes been green for the money
why you think i’m so skinny never looking fed
eating irregularly or skimpy meals instead
shrunk stomach ‘cause food stamps don’t allow growth spurts
eating at the buffet till i might burst hunger and thirst
i just need to have to makе up for what i didn’t
obtain to maintain doesn’t seem too insane
dad unemployеd and welfare won’t pay
and child support to my mom takes it away anyway
that and his license and money to pay bills
dad always tried but always seemed to fail
regardless of work put in every effort derailed
mom had income just didn’t manage it well
always relying on her mom to come and post bail
i mean figuratively not literally she never saw jail
just wasn’t living below her means
probably won’t even know what that term means
financially illiterate which was sort of inconsiderate
now that i consider it
i’m tryna get money so i can worry about important things
i don’t need six cars two cribs and diamond bling
i just need to know my utility is paid and ceiling won’t leak
can’t afford to have the paper or grass cut every week
step mom and dad both suffer from depression
mania bipolar so live under misdirection
the child the support situation needs a correction
and with no siblings or outside help to step in
see you vs me is like want vs need
one of us desires glamor the other to eat
your sheltered me i’m seeking shelter
eating walmart meat f*ck hamburger helper
1000 dollar shots monthly just to save my step moms vision
when you can’t buy new socks who the f*ck you kidding
house in foreclosure impending all the time
constantly cost cutting every penny nickel dime
my main thing i suppose i’m confessing
is that we were in a major need of a blessing
see i’m not tryna obtain currency ‘cause of greed
it’s not really ‘bout the want it’s more like i need
struggling family situations need to support my nuclear
hope this refreshed the look made your view of me more clear
most of my classmates couldn’t guess did my best to hide it
ashamed of my status low class confined in
poverty with not many to confide in
knew money was critical to less stress so need the key to find it
see you vs me is like want vs need
one of us desires glamor the other to eat
your sheltered me i’m seeking shelter
eating walmart meat f*ck hamburger helper
