Текст Merkules – Pennies

Yeah
It’s been a long time coming I know
Spent a long time running I know
Yeah

Heyo I’m broke, I don’t even got a penny for my thoughts
When I’m making bills, take it til’ I’ve spent all that I got
I try investing in the music til’ they let me get my spot
It’s sad it costs money just to send me to the top
But that’s the world we live in I ain’t complaining
But I’d never work a dead end job to make my wages
I was never born into a family that’s rich
I could start a fucking fire with my hands and two sticks
If I want something I’d actually have to do shit
I guess growing up fast makes your attitude switch
I rap for therapy, and I rap for meals
Your tracks embarrassing, cause you rap for deals
I’m a natural born hustler, I’ll sell grass to fields
You say it just to say it, but these set backs are real
I don’t gotta say «swag» to get that appeal
But I’m broke so it’s hard to not sell crack and steal

I’ve been out here try’na turn a penny to a buck
Ain’t nobody perfect, but it’s better than it was
It’s common sense, all these cents add up
But you gotta save a hundred for a dollar that’s rough
x2

I get that feeling in my stomach when the rent is due
Because there’s nothing left to do, I’m try’na chase this revenue
It’s in my blood, I’m like the boss of a business

I’ve been out here try’na turn a penny to a buck
Ain’t nobody perfect, but it’s better than it was
It’s common sense, all these cents add up
But you gotta save a hundred for a dollar that’s rough
