Whatever

[Hook]:
She said I would always say "Never"
When it came to what I sacrificed for the cheddar
Things got bad and they wasn't getting better
Gotta get my life together so now it's whatever
Whatever for the doe
Whatever for the rent
Whatever for my kids, it don't gotta make sense/cents
As long as it makes dollars, tomorrow I'll repent
Yesterday I did it, today I'll do it again
It's whatever man

[Verse One]:
I know what beauty is
I seen it pass my eyes
My niece in school with her daughter, although we had no ties
She said she heard I was famous, I said, "Nah, that's a lie
But I inspire my people, and yeah I rap sometimes."
Me assuming she modeled or did music
But neither of those were true so I guess she thought I was cute
Then I found out a little later, what I wish I'd learned sooner
When asking a couple people, I prayed, it was a rumor
I know girls that dance, that look like someone's wifey
With plastic implants but shorty was unlikely
Her hair, all natural
Her essence, so serene
Her smile, like an angel
Her speech, had esteem
No name brands or nothing
I thought about dating
Her status, said single
Her vibe, said she was taken
I guess, that I was forward by asking her occupation
The first night we went out for drinks, she started shaking
And explaining that she liked me and she had to just confess
That tonight was supposed to be be the night that we both got undressed
I said, "That ain't my objective", she said, "Sure, you wanna bet?"
Told her, call her babysitter then that's when she got upset

[Verse Two]:
My ego landed me inside her home
I peeped her little girl there all alone
Counted all the times she texted in her phone
And then she let me know what it would take to bone
I tried to go, her face was lifeless
And a tear was steady forming as she ran down the prices
Said, "For head it's just $150. But I know you won't just like it
You gon' love it. And the pussy's $400. That shit is psychic
It will talk to you. Tell you what you wanna hear and soothe you."
And now the tears were dropping, "Ma, there's no way I'm do you
And I'm not about to pay you." As she sniffled and got nearer
Said her baby father left, she lost her job and it got realer
Cause he emptied her account and now it's hard to face the mirror
Cause for rent she does whatever hoping baby girl don't hear her
Damn
I couldn't tell if she was scamming
So I left the room and there was her daughter and I imagined
What was going through her head as she saw me
Somehow managed to say "Sorry" to her face
And I tried to up and vanish
But the little girl asked, "Did you give mommy medicine?
Whenever doctors come over, I have to let 'em in
I hope one day she gets better then
I won't have to go stay with daddy." Yo my head was spinning
Maybe I should leave bread
Maybe I should get head
Maybe I should call Social Services, I feel misled
But what if that was you?
Or somebody close that didn't know what to do
No friends, no fam, no help, no real clue
Of how to get by every month when the rent is due
Damn

[Outro]:
