[Chorus: Yonatan Watts and Rent Money]
When the money gone and you all alone, yeah
Hold on
Can’t pay the rent ‘cause you know you spent it
Hold on
(Repeat 2x)
[Verse 1: Rent Money]
They was frontin' so Im coming through the back door
Instead of yelling let me tell you about what I know
This for my niggas blowing, rolling down Cantrell Road
The cops aiming I ain’t standing here waiting for them
And no fashion compare to my walk and shit
I got friends on that swipe and and get nice ya dig
It’s so trill you would think it was pimp and shit
This so real you either work or you working it
The rent due got you all stressed out, huh?
You gotta eat so you bagging the vegetables
The streets cold we used to store where the peas is froze
And thank God judge early released parole
I know they pissed ‘cause the switch ironic
But wait ‘til its Drake, Benz 6 right on it
And still waiting on my 40 acres
‘Til I drop me a 40 on that Rollie later
Hold on
[Chorus: Yonatan Watts and Rent Money]
When the money gone and you all alone yeah
Hold on
Can’t pay the rent ‘cause you know you spent it
Hold On
(Repeat 2x)
[Verse 2: Rent Money]
And I know it get hard on the boulevard
And that Hooters job barely pay the MARTA card
Got that student loan straight up to Lenox Mall
Said fuck physics, ain’t no niggas in my study hall
Daddy gone so the figures getting your attention
For the digits, dividing all the math explicit
Head of class but you barely seem to pay attention
I’m no different stepping to your soror sister
That plan B I ain’t C’ing the meaning
Dropping out of school that’s the cycle repeating
Your best friend selling work on the weekend
She out control kinda remind me of Freaknik
I see myself in her quest for wealth
She got that paper addiction getting cut in the rental
And I still want a car with the features
And still trying to cop a gold chain with the Jesus
I flash the gold tooth when Im sexing
I’ll probably cop a Rollie just to stunt in a second
Hold on
[Chorus: Yonatan Watt and Rent Money]
When the money gone and you all alone yeah
Hold on
Can’t pay the rent ‘cause you know you spent it
Hold On
(Repeat 2x)
[Bridge: Yonatan Watts]
Oooooooooo
And I don’t know for how long now, no
Hold On
But all I know is be strong now, hey
Hold On
(Repeat 2x)
