[00:26.21]That's all a n***a got
[00:27.35]So if it's 'bout that cream
[00:28.94]Then I'm all up in the spot
[00:30.43]I got a dollar and a dream
[00:31.91]
[00:33.88]Just a dollar and a dream
[00:35.19]
[00:37.83]Cole walk with a n***a
[00:39.48]I give you my pain
[00:40.71]So much on my mind
[00:41.93]I wonder how it fit in my brain
[00:43.52]
[00:44.15]Scattered thoughts
[00:45.03]Dark secrets lead me to a blacker heart
[00:47.29]Life can't get any worse
[00:48.84]Stevie with his glasses off
[00:50.45]'Cause I still don't see hope
[00:52.05]Lookin' for a quick fix
[00:53.50]When everyone I see is broke
[00:55.14]Get lost in w**d smoke
[00:56.75]Knowin' it make it worse
[00:58.38]Thoughts roam uncontrollably
[01:00.15]Barely trustin' n***as
[01:01.43]Over a decade they been knowin' me
[01:03.29]S**t life at the bottom
[01:04.55]Nobody but God got 'em
[01:06.34]They say he wouldn't leave me
[01:07.60]Yet I'm fallin' like it's Autumn
[01:09.12]Tell me what do you do just
[01:10.71]When you're on your last dollar
[01:12.49]And the stress of this mess
[01:13.71]You in can make your a*s holla
[01:15.39]
[01:16.15]Do you fold grow bitter and grow cold
[01:18.67]
[01:19.19]No longer fightin'
[01:20.07]Now the only thing you grow is old
[01:21.85]
[01:22.75]Or do you flip that f**kin' dollar to a dream
[01:25.30]Whether a scholar or a fiend
[01:26.78]Watch a pawn become a king
[01:28.33]Cole
[01:28.47]
