Not A Rich Man Summer Of 96 (Ft. Royce Da 5'9")

[Hook]
I've been called down so many names
But nobody ever called me a rich man
My ex-girlfriend was a love of my dreams
And she left me for a rich man

[Bridge]
Everything seems out of my reach
Like I'm falling in quicksand
I know in my mind I'm a king
But I probably won't die a rich man

[Verse 1]
Feeling like I carry the worlds weight on my shoulder
Momma always told me these days will make me a soldier
I keep my friends close, I keep my enemies closer
The music is giving me youth, but the stress is making me older
Sometimes I want to give it all up and just take the pain away
We dust in the wind and I feel myself slowly fade away
All I ever get with this heart is breaks and these 808s
Lord give me a sign I'm just tryna make it from day to day
My sneakers worn down, no soul in em
I need the kind of money with the fold in em
Man these pockets ain't got no dough in em
Feeling worthless as a penny with a hole in it
