[Hook] x2
It goes money, bitches, power, fame
Hate, jealousy, it's one and the same
Never deal with the shame, it's more than just to maintain
Underground, we carved a new lane

[Verse]
It's unsettling, like a dose of regret-amine
Who the fuck's telling 'em it's okay to be selling 'em
That watered down shit? They need a shot like adrenaline
It's [?}, I work my fingers down to the skeleton
Apprentice of the art form, from the place that ain't warm
See the hard getting torn by the scene that ain't formed
The way they think it is
People talking to me like "Leaf, get the money what's the real risk"

Yo, I'm here to bring you realness, only a few will feel this
The type of illness to wanna build this
Deal with dedication, determination, until it's
Your time to shine, just look over the real risks
You'll be broke for the rest of your days
Not getting no radio play, ten years on a empty stage
Seen ten of my peers, turn to the raise
Stuck at it, now ten beers has turned to a wage

You see it as a page, I see it as freedom
To talk to the people 'bout things they ain't reading
On your news feed and bulshit they streaming
When they say they sold their soul you know their money is the demon
Money is the reason why the greats fall off
And I'm trying not to make that me at all costs
The hope ain't lost, it's in the mind of youth
Inspired by the times, for those that seek truth

It goes money, bitches, power, fame

Never deal with the shame, it's more than just to maintain
