[Chorus]
You can turn a quarter to a ki if you want
You can be a baller on the team if you want
You can be the model on the scene if you want
This is your world you can be what you want
But nothin’ ain’t, nothin’ ain’t, nothin’ ain’t, no nothin’ ain’t free
Nothin’ ain’t, nothin’ ain’t, nothin’ ain’t, no nothin’ ain’t free

[Verse 1]
I’m 24 years old and I haven’t got my shit together
I prayed to Jesus hoping that it doesn’t last forever
I look around and it’s like everybody’s sorted
Success, success, everybody caught it
My brother 23 and he just went and got a mortgage
Got me thinking about my future guess it’s good that I‘m maturing
Phone calls to my sis now I know this is my calling
When the rain starts pouring and the pain starts formin’
I was on the right track then the train starts stallin’
Yesterday I had a dream that I was half past ballin’
I was in the car park snorin’
It was in the mornin’
Why stay at home that’s borin’
And when a brother calls to do a move, then we all in
All these other rappers sound the same got me yawnin’
This is straight bars I’ve been on my A star flow
State car money’s on my radar though
I was just a little brother bumpin’ De La Soul
Told my brothers Imma get it
That’s the way I roll
Hold up
I just had a second just to think about
When them other brothers tried to stab me in my liver now
Everything is different now
We don’t ever piss about
I was on a high my brother told me to simmer down
Realest G I've been around
Everything is different now
I just gone and went
This is only the beginning now
[Chorus]
You can turn a quarter to a ki if you want
You can be a baller on the team if you want
You can be the model on the scene if you want
This is your world you can be what you want
But nothin’ ain’t, nothin’ ain’t, nothin’ ain’t, no nothin’ ain’t free
Nothin’ ain’t, nothin’ ain’t, nothin’ ain’t, no nothin’ ain’t free

[Verse 2]
If you saw where I was coming from you’d probably salute
Mom and daddy never worked but brother what can I do
My G there’s reason for the breakup that I cannot discuss
Just know it scarred me as a child and every summer would funk
You know that nothing‘s ever as it seems
Martin Luther had a dream
Nothing’s ever guaranteed
Living on a new regime
Figured I ain’t living right
Something wasn’t feeling right
Try to keep the real alive
I was getting sick of tryin’
I was in my feelings ‘til my feelings died
We can go higher if we’re killing pride so I’m killing pride
Met a shorty who was thick and fine
I was in the line
It was live ‘til we realized that we didn’t vibe
But Trina wanna know
Alicia wants to know me
Eliza wants me to blow me but I see her as a homie
The woman that I’m feeling only wants to be my colleague
She was like a 10 but there was nothing she could show me
That’s a match made in hell when you’ve got looks and no depth
Old G’s told me if I see it go left
Mama used to tell me if I want it go fetch
Tell them I don’t wanna know unless they cut the whole check
[Chorus]
You can turn a quarter to a ki if you want
You can be a baller on the team if you want
You can be the model on the scene if you want
This is your world you can be what you want
But nothin’ ain’t, nothin’ ain’t, nothin’ ain’t, no nothin’ ain’t free
Nothin’ ain’t, nothin’ ain’t, nothin’ ain’t, no nothin’ ain’t free

[Outro]
Nothin’ at all ain’t free
There’s a price you pay for the choice you make
(x2)
Step on the road and see
That nothing’s out of reach if only you believe
(x2)

You ain’t falling behind brother
It just ain’t your time brother
Keep going, keep going
There’s a lot on your mind brother
But you’re gonna be fine brother
Keep going, keep going
(x2)

Keep going, keep going
(x2)
