The song ‘Poundz’ describes the hardship people who come from poorer backgrounds face. Brent also mentions how these people have a lot of potential, but are continuously overlooked: ‘you can be what you want when you get older’. Faiyaz concludes the song with a sense of hope, reminding us that you s...
[Chorus]
How much you going for a P?
I wanna fly for the week
Now she on her knees
'Cause I let her fly for the free
[Verse 1]
Don’t nobody love me
Don't nobody care where I spend my days
What you mean that you won't let me?
I thought you knew that I was this way
[Chorus]
How much you going for a P?
I wanna fly for the week
Now she on her knees
’Cause I let her fly for the free
[Verse 2]
Pick it up and break it down
Roll it up and pass it 'round
Louder than a fuckin' sound
Gotta grab it by the pound
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I feel it in my sleep
These demons, these demons
They drag me deep
So I gotta know...
[Chorus]
How much you going for a P?
I wanna fly for the week
Now she on her knees
'Cause I let her fly for the free
[Verse 4]
Why you acting like you got no options?
Everybody knows that you a star
Why you make it look like you so rotten?
Everyone is troubled in the dark
Why you acting like you got no options?
Everybody knows that you a star
Why you make it look like you so rotten?
Everyone is troubled in the dark
[Chorus]
How much you going for a P?
I wanna fly for the week
Now she on her knees
'Cause I let her fly for the free
[Verse 5]
Babies dying, children crying
Twelve steady lying, tryna get us indicted
Maybe there's heaven for us
Always slighted, world wanna fight it
Always keep your piece on you
Maybe there's somewhere for us
[Outro]
Tell the youth 'The future’s on your shoulders’
You can't lose your faith
You can be what you want when you get older
Tell the youth ’The future's on your shoulders'
You can't lose your faith
You can be what you want when you get older

“Poundz” touches on addiction and/or poor choices. Highs and lows. Cause, effect, [and] rehabilitation. It isn’t our fault. We’re products of this world we were born into. We all battle our own demons. Everyone is troubled in the dark, but, please just stop & think about the babies. They’re gonn...
