When I get old Imma be real cool 

Sittin on the porch with a fresh pair of shoes 

Whole bunch of stories for the neighborhood kids 

Tell em to believe that we makin it big 



And I know 

That life is nothing easy (nothing easy) 

One day, Imma change the world 

And they'll finally believe me 



From the outside looking in it seems that I'm fine 

But they don't know shit about the everyday grind 

Time is money and money is time 

They tell me get there at five but I'm running behind 

I try and live a little go and have a little fun 

You only young once so all the hatin that be dumb 

If life a joke then I'm waiting for the punch 

You all about the beef but me, I'm bout the bun 

The bread cause I was just a little knucklehead 

Now I got my shit together spittin what they fuckin with 

If they ain't it's great no intention to the hate 

Nothing changed still cutting up Henny's still my drink 

I'm still the same old dude now makin moves 

It's like everything I do front page news 

I ain't playin in this game to lose 

I want it all no secret the change they can keep it

(hey) 

My grandpa told me one day I'll be everything and more 

It's better never to question every lesson that's in store 

See it's a blessin that I'm gettin through the door 

The money gonna fall, when it rain, it pours 

Dear music, you're everything I have now 

When there's an army commin for me I won't back down 

Cause I never was a kid in the background 

Just a class clown but who's laughing now 

My moms cried when she saw me in a cap and gown 

It feels great to see my family proud but 

I make mistakes too 

My people always tell me Mac 

please don't ever let the fame change you 

They say I'm so different but it ain't true 

Still got the same girl, roll with the same crew 

I'm just doing what it takes for me to make do 

And everyone around me gettin paid too
