[Intro]
Breakin' all the rules
Tryna be the Gatsby
And I did it all for you
Really hopin' that you're happy
For the dream I live it up
Filmin' scenes paper cuts
Money and the gold
[Verse 1]
Going down, where you at?
I been locked up in the room speakin' facts
Counting green with the fam
Split it with 'em then I give it to the man
2017 went through a lot
Nine years just to end in the parking lot
Guess that’s how it goes
Gone in a flash
Call the paparazzi
Demons in my flask
Thank god for my posse
Don’t know if I would’ve made it out alive
Taking this pain and then I turn it to cash
I do it all for my folks I want em covered in gold
So they can stay together
[Chorus]
Breaking all the rules
Tryna be the gatsby
Did it all for you
I hope that you’re happy
For the dream I live it up
Filming all the scenes
Gettin paper cuts
From counting all this money and gold
Nothings how it seems
Putting up a front
'Cause when i’m behind the scenes
I been down, money doesn’t help
[Verse 2]
Back, find me in the back
Cuttin' up on final cut to make a couple racks
Go straight to my PayPal
To my PayPal
Wait a couple days
Now i’m staring at the numbers
Parents fighting
I can hear ‘em from my room uninvited
Hopin it’ll pass
I know they been stressed
Thinking 'bout the ways that I can clean up all the mess
Wait a minute, tell me where we heading?
Hope it ain't divorce in the court where they sentence
Tired from the 9-5
So I get up and ride
So they can hit retire
Hoping that’ll just fix it
Taking this pain and then I turn it to cash
I do it all for my folks I want em covered in gold
So they can stay together
[Chorus]
Breaking all the rules
Tryna be the gatsby
Did it all for you
I hope that you’re happy
For the dream I live it up
Filming all the scenes
Gettin paper cuts
From counting all this money and gold
Nothings how it seems
Putting up a front
'Cause when i’m behind the scenes
I been down, money doesn’t help
