I caught my man panhandling I handed him my last thread of common sense, he only wanted the dollar That's all I had left, reds an ugly number Sensitivity is rarer than ever when you can barely feed you're kids on those old vendettas I bought a bottom level house when the promise of higher living was brighter than sun setters Told my girl we'd be living better Now her head wrap, look like Erykah and I stole the fabric from the thrift shop, the irony did not register Ain't no love in the struggle Even less in hip hop But I'll keep ******* around with **** until my ******* mix tape pops
