Shoebox Money

If you from where I'm from, then you know bout that shoebox money See that's cool and all, but I been tryna show these fools how to invest and let it grow The kid that loved the hoops vanished without a trace Started trading and his limit went from sky to space Turnaround jumper, banking off the glass, no Chase To taking trades any way, any time and place Where I'm from, you make it rapping or playing ball Pushing weight, becoming a brand, but what if you could em all Do it til I fall, a wizard making magic happen like my back's against the John Wall Im pushing weight cuz I got weight on my shoulders that weigh like two boulders That come from being my mama's oldest, and if you didn't notice I'm upping my focus, and I don't need ice on my neck for me to know I'm the coldest To go from poverty to owning properties I had to hand it to myself and give the props to me Before I take a trade, I be licking my chops Cus the way I gather profits be like harvesting crops I could do this on a daily, it's my bread and butter I said it with my chest, I didn't st-st-st-st-stutter Gained all this knowledge and they can't take it from me Just see myself getting more than that shoebox money I don't make music for the fame or the dollar bills I do it to tell my story and tell you how I feel In the back of our minds, we all wanna be great To decide that fate, gotta watch what you consume on your plate Honestly, it comes down to the shit you do The people that u kiss up to, the music that you listen to Listen to hood music, prolly why u still stuck in the hood I do too, but first, I made sure that I was good I make music bout grinding and the paper route Cuz the goal for a lot of us should be to make it out One shot, one kill, better make it count Give me one shot, I'm taking it without a doubt It's the truth, I wasn't born to a silver spoon Rags to riches without the autotune Pedal to the metal, I ain't running on fumes No Chance at stopping Kam, talking Legion of Boom I could do this on a daily, it's my bread and butter I said it with my chest, I didn't st-st-st-st-stutter Gained all this knowledge and they can't take it from me Just see myself getting more than that shoebox money I'm doing A-Z and everything in between Automatic machine that u prolly never seen Soon as I hit the scene, open up my screen Hit my profit targets and all I see is green Strips and blue strips from trading blue chips It's not advice, but I can give a few tips You learn something new everyday The hardest part is starting, who knows? you could be a step away They want cash on hand like it's On demand But Betting on themself is where they draw the line in the sand They won't bet on themself but they'll bet it all on black Usain Bolt how I smoke em on the track Always in the field and Imma die with my boots on I'll never have to sit and wonder why my troops gone Families an army, so many weapons in the arsenal Followed the rainbow to the end and we found the pot of gold
