I Could’ve

I could've bought me a watch
I could've bought me a drop
I could've bought me a chain
I could've went back to the block
But the rent was due, and my stomach was growling
And my foot was hurting, and the bills was piling
We comin' from the bottom, with a long ass climb
Funny it won't take but a second, to fall back down
Oh no, I can't stall right now, and I know time won't wait for me
Full-time grind, till I'm rollin' in dough like a bakery
My family dysfunctional, but love them like the Huxtabels
I would be at Benihanas, but my kids want lunchables
Ain't life grand
My shoes cost a grand
Caught my success in stone, and all my failures in sand
I'm from the school of hard knocks, and I've still got morals and principles
If only this 10 millimeter could make me invincible
All this money I've made, and im still invisible
Cause they don't see a rich black man, they just see a decimal
I got bitches in my dressing room
I got rappers on my testicles
I could run a list of names to you, but Im tryna be professional
I'm just stayin focus, tryna smell the roses
You probably make more than I do, I just never noticed
Nah!
I just never cared, teach my babies how to share
You do know the game is all rigged, see even the fair ain't fair
I could've bought more and flossed, I could've tricked it all off
I could've payed for protection, instead I bought more yachts
And I hear all that talk, since when did killers write blogs boy
I got bigger shit to deal with , Jaden and Kaya want a dog
And i don't fuck with pets, I told them to wait until they 10
I got three more years till I have to revisit that again
And I hope you've grown by then, besides we grown ass men
I could've acted like I gave two shits, but I cannot pretend
I could've bought me a watch
I could've bought me drop
I could've bought me a chain, instead I bought me a spot
Instead I bought more guns in case they try to come take what I got
I hope you can take a few shots
I feel like taking the squad
I feel like shittin on all these rappers, feel like payin' too much in taxes
Feel like I'm takin' my money up out the bank and puttin' it back under my mattress
I went and fucked me an actress
I ball, fuck is practice
Watchin' the world burn, from one little book of matches
I could've bought me a watch
I could've bought me a drop, instead I went and bought my kids all the things my mama couldn't afford to cop...and they don't even play with that shit
