Focus

[Intro]
Ayyo, I think it’s funny man
Everybody want something from you
Until you hit ‘em with a ticket
Money talks man, stop playing with me
Pay up

[Verse 1]
Life’s ills been giving your boy a standing aid
Box in at heavy when you’re a bantamweight
Boxed in and feeling as though you can’t escape
Last leg, the doctor’s about to amputate
Fuck it though, up and go
American dream on a dusty road
Test the fate ‘til yesterday gets swept away by the undertow
I’m back at it and I ain’t jaded or bitter
Shit we celebrate the summer when we make through winter
I told them never gonna quit, never gonna take this towel and let it touch the canvass
I don’t understand this cowardice that’s running rampant
Life throws a curveball, everybody up and panic
Like they supposed to coach you through and pitch it underhanded
Throw a set, no regret, runway and a Boeing jet
8 hour shift, came out the pit like Boba Fett
I overstep nah, I felt froggy and so I left
You broke in debt and need a change and haven’t left the sofa yet

[Chorus]
Money
You go into another man’s pockets when he
Hungry
And they gon’ try to switch the damn topic, shit is
Ugly
They told me that it’s dog eat dog
Well I’m on my job, blue-collar on a red-nose

Running
And tell ‘em all I want my fade, I said
Fuck it
Never want to pump my brakes, we bring the
Ruckus
They told me that it’s dog eat dog
Well I’m on my job, blue-collar on a red-nose

[Verse 2]
I just keep the blade sharp, ready for another notch
We don’t have the same heart, ya’ll are sweet as butterscotch
Suckers watch sideline, call my own and run a rock
You gon’ wake the bubble ‘til you get your little bubble pop
I ain’t interested how you look at the glass
Fuck waiting for a brake, put your foot on the gas
They didn’t care who I was ‘til I put in the mask
Then hijack the spotlight when I took ‘em to task
I’m legendary, stop on the 32nd of Nevuary
Chasing Lady Luck like Ted and Mary ‘til dead and buried
Flavor of the month, nah I ain’t into Ben and Jerry
Try to see a plaque before they put mine up in the cemetery
You can be a boss or you can be a secretary
Letting someone tell you it’s necessary
And secondary, I ain’t here to preach
My old school ain’t a seminary
Fighter-Mama-Jean is in the genes, hereditary

[Chorus]
Money
You go into another man’s pockets when he
Hungry
And they gon’ try to switch the damn topic, shit is
Ugly
And they told me that it’s dog eat dog
Well I’m on my job, blue-collar on a red-nose

Running
And tell ‘em all I want my fade, I said
Fuck it
Never want to pump my brakes, we bring the
Ruckus
They told me that it’s dog eat dog
Well I’m on my job, blue-collar on a red-nose

[Outro]
Now you the bad guy all of the sudden, right?
Just ‘cause you wanna reap the benefits and shit
When these motherfuckers wouldn’t piss on you to put you out
But now they wanna handout, now they want you to bring ‘em up where you at
Fuck that man, pay up
I look like I’m out here, doing altruistic deeds and shit?
I got near 20 years in this shit man
Stop fucking with me
