I guess I bit off more than I could chew And nobody told me, nobody told me Had it all and never knew Cuz nobody told me Nobody told me money don't make you rich And if it did, I'm missing something Nobody told me you can lose when you win And if they did, I'd still be missing Who knew that this much success will make it so hard But that's to accept the fact that I can't go back where I left And back track my steps, back track my steps The records I dropped, so massive, so large It makes it hard for hip-hop to digest The things that I do, I guess if it's true Well fuck it, a nigga too good to be the best Too good to be the best, too good to be stressed Cuz this the type of life, too good to regret You know money don't buy you no respect Nigga no respect, nigga no respect yea So what the hell is that? I'm tryna recreate the past that I never had And smash girls I could never smash And live fantasies that'll never last I ran away from home just to try to make a million Yea, just to try to make a million And when you get a million it's a different type of feeling When you look around and what you really need is missing It's like, it's like I'm suffering from a sickness And can't find a doctor to fill out the prescription Or diagnose the illness Can't leave it in the book, can't buy from the dealer And I find that ironic Yeah, I find that ironic How I can buy anything that I ever wanted But I really had it all when I ain't have nothing They always say that mo money, mo problems I guess I, I guess I should've listened to the warning I guess I, I guess I should anticipate the stormy weather I guess I'd illustrate it if it's good but however Well if it's clever I couldn't find the words to say it better I'm knee-deep within these endeavors But all that glitters with gold is not treasure I'm ready for whatever, I never let er I work even better when I'm under pressure They say money don't make you rich Cuz you can't buy shit that can make you better, word
