Money On My Mind

Verse 1

Dollar signs on my mind since the morning

Mama said keep your head low and stay working

I was twelve with the notebook and the verses

Now the whole block humming what I wrote down

Used to count loose change in the passenger seat

Now I count the zeros every time I receive

They said slow down young blood you're moving too fast

I said watch me leave a legacy that's built to last

Pre-Chorus

And I've been running through the rain

Chasing something they can't name

Steady holding to the flame

Turning nothing into flame

Chorus

This the life I chose

Every window that I broke

Every step up on this road

It's the life I chose

This the life I chose

Made it out the underground

Now I'm standing on the crown

This the life I chose

Verse 2

Used to bump the mixtape out the trunk at midnight

Now they press my record up in platinum light

Funny how the ones who doubted never call

Until they see your name on the marquee wall

I remember empty pockets concrete cold

Hungry for a future that I couldn't hold

Now they ask me what it takes to make it through

I tell em start with nothing and stay true to you

Pre-Chorus

And I've been running through the rain

Chasing something they can't name

Steady holding to the flame

Turning nothing into flame

Chorus

This the life I chose

Every window that I broke

Every step up on this road

It's the life I chose

This the life I chose

Made it out the underground

Now I'm standing on the crown

This the life I chose

Bridge

Took the long way through the dark

Bought my momma a new car

Wrote my name up in the stars

Every scar became a mark

Took the long way through the dark

Now my neighbors know my art

Every scar became a mark

Yeah the future's in the spark

Chorus

This the life I chose

Every window that I broke

Every step up on this road

It's the life I chose

This the life I chose

Made it out the underground

Now I'm standing on the crown

This the life I chose
