My Last Dollar
ok, your anywhere in the world right now...
can you picture it...
All you have is the clothes on you back and 1 dollar
what do you do...
first off i'd be in New York, go right to shady/aftermath/
spit 'until i collapse' as long as my lungs last/
ignte my fire like gas, wouldn't even ask,
for a deal, ima demand it/
tell em about my plans-big/
or big-plans, i don't know i can't stand it, or understand it/
they'd tell me i suck, so my buck goes to some transit/
i'm stuck...pushed more than my luck with my last buck/
what the fuck, now what/
now, i'm walkin the streets rappin to myself/
what happend to wealth/
no one hears me, so my lifes on stealth/ what else?
havin delusions, thinkin i'm on the radio, askin "am i #1 yet?"/
no one answers, so i just fade away into the sunset/
chorus
here i am with my last dollar/
i can get a 20 minute call, with no one to holler/
not enough money for gas, oh wait, already sold my impala/
so here i am with 100 pennies/
need some money, which no one will lend me/
so lets see if it's my final ending/
ok, i'm in a new city now/
had a mastermind plan, just lost it, HOW!?/
FUCK, think dave think/ no time to even blink/
in Las Vegas, readin a sign 'a dollar, all you can drink'/
can't drowned my life in alcohol this time/ this time, this time
man THIS TIME, i'm gonna resort to a life of crime/
nevermind, can i make up my own mind/
made it up, i'll bum rush a casino, bet it All on me/
I got four aces do you expect me to fold B/
5 players on the poker game now with five bucks lincolns lonLey/
at least the last honest man, now controls me/
repeat chorus
so here i am in good ole harrisburg/
wishin i could fly away, while i stare at birds/
if this is my last verse, would you believe my words/
well i'll be going straight to the courts/
kohl park, ball till i can't ball no more/
don't ask what for, its my cure helps make my mind pure/
then go spend my day with my mom/
rest of my family, reminisce about grandma flo, and pop tom/
then go play some madden with nick/
bug about some stupid shit/
still think we gon take over the world/
fuck the world, it ain't worth what they ask for/
it looks nice on the outside, but the deep down i see war/
any way, i'll be happy even if i lose in that madden game/
cuz if i die, at least i'll have a dollar to my name...
