KiD Swoop
Down & Out
[Chorus]
How can I change when I started wit a dollar
Keep a smile on my face
Just to get through all my problems
Promised mama imma make it
She feel like I broke my promise
She tell me that I ain't shit
That shit be weighing on my conscious
Down and out, when it come to money
You gone see the real
Down and out, family no different
Than a friend, keep it real
Down and out, I den been wit it
And I den been without
But the struggle ain't forever
I know imma turn it out


[Verse 1]
We get into it almost everyday
Cause she can't get a enough
Sometimes I just say fuck it
I feel like just giving up
Cause she don't appreciate the shit I did
Appreciate the shit I do
Mask on just to see my future
When I'm making moves
All my people proud of me
Most of my people doubted me
Remember back at Madison dancing
Them n***as clowning me
Remember fell in love wit a bitch
Just on some stupid shit
Me and them n***as doing hits
I repent for my stupidness
What would you do if you penniless (no money in yo pocket)
Can't get a job, inexperienced (what you gon do about it)
Make a decision gotta get to that chicken
Because you facing eviction (my n***a facing eviction yeah)
What would you do if you struggling?
Gotta play my cards right
So you know I'm reshuffling
And I try to stand tall but a n***a keep stumbling
But I remain humble through the shit that I'm up against


[Chorus]
How can I change when I started wit a dollar
Keep a smile on my face
Just to get through all my problems
Promised mama imma make it
She feel like I broke my promise
She tell me that I ain't shit
That shit be weighing on my conscious
Down and out, when it come to money
You gone see the real
Down and out, family no different
Than a friend, keep it real
Down and out, I den been wit it
And I den been without
But the struggle ain't forever
I know imma turn it out


[Verse 2]
I'm praying for better days
That he take away my bitter ways
Used to follow n***as/
But that's back before my twitter days
Now I shine bright
Cause I remember I was inna shade
I'm so tired of whipping shooters
Now I'm tryna whip a wraith
Uncle committed sui
He supported my music
I found out love ain't love
Even if it's from Cupid
Don't put ya all into a bitch
Even if she the cutiest
I give my mama every dollar
We still getting into it
And I got people that den crossed me
What's that about
And they got secrets that I know
But they ain't leaving my mouth
A friendly face can be ya enemy
So don't lose grip
I'll rather be, judged by 12
Then carried by 6
They know I, been keeping It real
Been keeping It real
Man it ain't hard to stay solid
And just keep it a bill
Two for a dollar chips wit noodles
That I bought wit a bill
That n***a started wit a dollar
He ain't changing for real


[Chorus]
How can I change when I started wit a dollar
Keep a smile on my face
Just to get through all my problems
Promised mama imma make it
She feel like I broke my promise
She tell me that I ain't shit
That shit be weighing on my conscious
Down and out, when it come to money
You gone see the real
Down and out, family no different
Than a friend, keep it real
Down and out, I den been wit it
And I den been without
But the struggle ain't forever
I know imma turn it out
