[Intro]
Ay, Ross, sauce it up

[Chorus]
Promise you won't end up as a villain
I only make commitments that I plan to keep
But lately, seeing holes in the ceiling
Has turned to a person I ain't plan to be
Mama, it's okay
I'll be back tomorrow, through the same door I went
I'll be back with Benjis, no more loose change
On this road to riches, I hope it all makes sense
For you and me

[Verse 1]
Only thing in my pockets is just a little lint
Only thing in my brain has been the Ritalin
I been stuck in the game, with no time to repent
The only voice in my head has been the serpents
How the fuck my life end up like this, before I even know?
They told me that life was hit and miss, and I ain't made no goals
Had to blow my mom and sis a kiss, before I hit the road
Will I come back? I don't know
Life ain't fair, I'm afraid so
Sheddin' tears, I call my bro
Told him, "I can't come back home"
Tried to rob the liquor store, but I didn't see his phone
I got pissed and let it blow, saw his body leave his soul
Grabbed the register and dipped, in my whip I hit the road
[Chorus]
Promise you won't end up as a villain
I only make commitments that I plan to keep
But lately, seeing holes in the ceiling
Has turned to a person I ain't plan to be
Mama, it's okay
I'll be back tomorrow, through the same door I went
I'll be back with Benjis, no more loose change
On this road to riches, I hope it all makes sense
For you and me

[Verse 2]
Yeah, my mama's been sick, I know that she got a fever
And man, it hurt like a bitch, the moment I had to leave her
I rode down the 95, on my six I could see 12
Put pressure on the ignition, I start to question myself
Like, "Was it all really worth it in the end?" I don't know
Problems with my financials, it seems I face all alone
Red and blue lights are blinding, I pick up my phone
Then I type in the number that would remind me of home

[Bridge]
"Hello? Mama, no, I'm sorry"
"I just tried to help, I didn't mean to hurt nobody"
"One thing that I've learned is that the money hides the ugly"
"The answer to the problem was what took you away from me"
[Chorus]
Promise you won't end up as a villain
I only make commitments that I plan to keep
But lately, seeing holes in the ceiling
Has turned to a person I ain't plan to be
Mama, it's okay
I'll be back tomorrow, through the same door I went
I'll be back with Benjis, no more loose change
On this road to riches, I hope it all makes sense
For you and me
