[00:33.973]Now, tell me that ain't insecurr
[00:36.872]The concept of school seems so securr
[00:39.302]Sophomore, three yurrs, ain't picked a carurr
[00:41.809]She like, "Fxck it, I'll just stay down hurr and do hair.“
[00:44.683]'Cause that's enough money to buy her a few pairs
[00:47.217]Of new Airs, 'cause her baby daddy don't really care
[00:49.933]She's so precious with the peer pressure
[00:52.415]Couldn't afford a car, so she named her daughter Alexis
[00:55.053]She had hair so long that it looked like weave
[00:57.692]Then she cut it all off, now she look like Eve

[01:24.154]I can't even pronounce nothin', pass that Ver-say-see!
[01:27.367]Then I spent four hundred bucks on this
[01:29.587]Just to be like, "N!gga, you ain't up on this."
[01:32.121]And I can't even go to the grocery store
[01:34.577]Without some Ones that's clean and a shirt with a team
[01:37.581]It seem we livin' the American Dream
[01:40.167]But the people highest up got the lowest self-esteem
[01:42.805]The prettiest people do the ugliest things
[01:45.261]For the road to riches and diamond rings
[01:47.899]We shine because they hate us, floss 'cause they degrade us
[01:50.590]We tryna buy back our 40 acres
[01:53.150]And for that paper, look how low we'll stoop

[02:11.383]We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom
[02:13.996]We'll buy a lot of clothes, but we don't really need 'em
[02:16.712]Things we buy to cover up what's inside
[02:19.481]'Cause they made us hate ourself and love they wealth
[02:22.015]That's why shorty's hollerin', "Where the ballers at?"
