RichMinded Shades

Behind these rich minded shades, I feel a way, paper chase the grind, Turned me to a slave We come from nothing but pain and rainy days, don't know how I made it through unscathed, I'm so amazed Pop out when I want, get to killin da local stage, I belong on BET at VMAs Niggas throwin' stones and they can't get em' appraised, devil shootin' shots, they ain't kill me, but I got grazed Fell out the funk, but I knew it was just a phase, back puttin' in work, I ain't workin' not to get paid They hate how I talk words, cut em' like dirty blades, gotta keep it real with y'all, that's just how I was raised Had to part with niggas, don't mean a part in my braids, that's just a part of my life, y'all gotta pardon my rage Got my head to the sky, look at the stars and I gaze, think bout all that I lost and all that I gained, am I sane We not the same, at all I been hearin' y'all talkin', but guess what I was right You ain't my man, you want a feature, you gon' have to pay that price I don't wanna pull up to y'all town and do no open mics I think bigger, want the whole cake, I won't settle for a slice Don't ask me how I beat the odds, I rolled them mothafuckin' dice If a nigga cross me once, bet he won't get to do it twice They be fake, one of the reasons that my heart is cold as ice When I lost my momma, it was hard to get some sleep at night I still cry when I dream about her, I won't be alright Look, showin' no emotions, I would rather just stack It's either tweak on niggas or express it in rap If it's two sides to a story, then one of em' cap And these boys runnin' round this bitch lookin' like pap Hands full of my own problems, I can't pick up they slack Showin' love ain't never got me shit, but stabbed in the back They say you changed cause they ain't solid and you chose to react Real niggas thought we all was supposed to be that, but Behind these richminded shades, I feel a way Behind these richminded shades, I feel a way
