Role Model
[Blow movie dialogue]
Hey dad, are we gonna be poor? cause I don’t ever wanna be poor
Then you won’t
I decided right then and there I wasn’t gonna live like that
[Verse 1]
I can’t rewind the hands of time but you been on my mind
Every time you said I couldn’t I just made it mine
You can do it how I did it you just gotta grind
Infatuated with the hood but the love is blind
I fell in love the day I looked into my daughters eyes
I love my sons too, fuck it we gon’ compromise
You a general remember you a son of mine
Anybody tell you different son they outta line
And when you fall just get up ain’t no time to cry
And I ain’t ever quitting on you I’ll be by your side
I love my whole life with feelings that I try to hide
I wised up I’m only drinking out this alkaline
Follow your ambition ain’t nobody stoppin’ ya
Everything elegant but quiet like the mafia
[Chorus]
Made it out the ghetto like I promised
Hopped out the rolls Royce like I promised
It made my mother smile like I promised
Tell me why they kept hating through the progress
I need a hundred mils
We need a hundred mils (Woo)
I need a hundred
[Verse 2]
I coulda done an interview on Chelsea lately
Gave connections to some people but they all betrayed me
Wrote songs for you dog, now you gotta pay me
It’s fucked up for all the credit that you never gave me
I give my daughter kisses
Teach my son the business
Do it right for all the time my family said they missed me
Pops trippin’, moms tryna do the dishes
It’s hard to balance but I manifested my ambitions
I’m a golden boy but I ain’t signed to De La Hoya
I coulda lost it to the traffic up in that Toyota
I made a honest living, honestly it’s baking soda
In a parking lot with gangstas sippin’ on Coronas
Graduated from the streets, we didn’t get diplomas
I understood when the black and white pulled us over
I built an enterprise, for the lives of my kin
Protect your essence, never lose your innocence
[Chorus]
Made it out the ghetto like I promised
Hopped out the rolls Royce like I promised
It made my mother smile like I promised
Tell me why they kept hating through the progress
I need a hundred mils
We need a hundred mils (Woo)
I need a hundred
