Can’t Make This Up Dave East

[Intro]
Started with a nickel bag of regular green
I'm tryna do some shit they never seen, they told us never dream, uh
Tried to kill our dreams, never dream, uh
Told us never dream, uh, uh, uh

[Verse 1]
Started with a nickel bag of regular green
I'm tryna do some shit they never seen, they told us never dream
I woke up, everything is broke, even my family members
Got nominations I receive somethin' thе Grammys send us
Grams, we split 'em, brеak 'em down and sell the whole thing (Whole thing)
It's hard to give advice to a youngin' just got a gold chain
He don't wanna hear that shit, he touchin' paper
I told him where I'm at, it's quiet ain't gotta cuss my neighbors
I told him never trust a snake and never love a hater
Nigga, we tryna be Kobe, just not another Laker
We need property, like Rick Ross, sittin' on a hundred acres
Them Swiss rolls for dinner used to have my stomach achin' (Hmm)
I told him, "Keep some lawyer money in case a case come up"
Some niggas get to stealin', try to duck some lay it up
If they been down, make sure they 'round to dap your paper up
If niggas ain't buyin' no plates, we just gon' eighth 'em up
School was never in my plans, I couldn't wait to cut
Watchin' niggas spend they last, while I was savin' up
I watched whole families get boxed like the Brady bunch
Spent so much time down, can't wait to feel the day we up
Can't make this up
