20 Dollars *Keep the buck rolling*

[Tupacfan]

Scortching hot, feelings in the air that something is about to pop,
chilling in lo lo's parking lot, not coming from eating but begging for a meal,
Lil bro mean muggin, ready to kill, ready to steal, looks that scream "can ya'll feel?"
Left at age 6, stuck with folks like I was in a orphange caught up In the mix,
Leader of the clique, lil bro grew up to quick, was ready to call it quits,
I'm like fuck that, fuck the chump change, hustle off a few cents to make a few dollars,
now the Feds watching, they hawking, everywhere I'm walking they stalking,
Pushing weights, playing with fire, awaiting for our fate,
went to bed with feelings of hate, wanted to escape the state, we rotted like the smell of milk crates,
Like a match that lit my brain I zoned into that NY state of mind, stayed on my grind,
I' no longer hustle for the 20 since I turned 20, i now stack a hunnid of 20's..

 

[REAL_POETICAL]

Drunk staggering rambling tampering

with the change in his cup

begging and on edge "can you spare a dime"

motherfucker i don't have it get a job

and thats it

A JOB is something I'm rarely seeing

being 40 something missing out on the world

lost my girl age 28, took the son age 12

rewind the snorting with the 20

use to have a roll of 20s

and getting a job with an advance

lots of money and plenty of 20s

lord willin i will meet a concealing friend with ambitions

to ruin my life

one puff i was in zone 9

one sniff cloud 19

20 steps away from rehab

failure and so the forecast for today

broke and bitter with nothing to say

paid my dues so pastor go that a way

no need for a drive by save me Jesus

when Jesus is a dirty object my subway mate carries and tags

with candles and prayer stances

i dance with the subject and moved on

jeez i need money so my hunger pains can be gone

got 20 cents worth of change

drunk fool gets thrown out of nearby strip joint

staggering cup in hand daggered eyes

bitter red nose and a good times frown

father of 1 and no hope of changing his lifestyle

collapsed in the snow

see the bank roll

20 flies out of hand lands on shoe

out of it flowing mumbles and slurs

let me take this off of your hands

20/20 vision with 20.20 senses

time for celebration

booze for the win
