Lyrics 2 Diplomas - Don Monét

Bump life
When you living for the world acceptance
Tryna get the money
For your girl's expressions
Poppa skated on me
But my mom's my blessing
Know she got my back
But at times it's stressing
Always got a smile so these Bitches don't know me
They just want to fuck instead of hold me
Dealing with this sad shit
Running through my mind
Got me rolling up the grass all the time
But still I rise
To clock in
Looking for my jeans
To hold the Glock in
Maybe I can get a few grand and stop then
Like they only giving minimum wage to stop men
From tryna be the king of the castle
Shit is a hassle
Tryna leave the past in my past
Till they ask you
And I did time like the scoreboards
Dirty money on my floorboards
Chop a 16 till it's 4 4's
And run from coppers like the boy forest
And now they all over the place
Bay know the code to da safe
But she gone say no to they face
Man I wish it wasn't like this
I would rather do some nice shit
2 diplomas by the light switch
Sell prescription wit a license
And I'll be the pride of family
Now I'm too hot aint no fanning me
I say shit they not understanding me
Cause times is different
Yeah they got jobs but mine is different
So I got no time to kick it

I been the man
I been around
Seen em up
Seen em down
Made a call
Had a fall
Made it all
Had to ball
You been the man
You been around
You Seen em up
You seen em down
You made a call
You had a fall
You Made it all
So you had to ball

Wish I had a chance
To show him my best work
Doing interviews
And rocking a pressed shirt
Heard another nigga get paid
To test dirt
Ex felon
So a nigga get paid what that's worth
Tryna tell my momma
I'm doing my best now
Toss a couple hundred
To show her we blessed now
Burn a couple grams
For keeping my stress down
Got a daughter and I taught her
Bout keeper her dressed down
Cause niggas aint shit
But they made us this
Brought crack to the hood
Then they made us rich
Made us sick
Now we got trap on the low
Droop got the Glock
Yeah we know Shit
Man I wish I made a little more time
To see you laugh and get to hear you shine
To tell you the truth instead of saying I'm fine
To show you the proof that little brother can grind
Okay Torian
I hop in DeLoreans to see you
Man I wonder why the best die
God I wonder why they test I
Torian
I hop in DeLoreans to see you
Man I wonder why the
God I wonder why you

I been the man
I been around
Seen em up
Seen em down
Made a call
Had a fall
Made it all
Had to ball
You been the man
You been around
You Seen em up
You seen em down
You made a call
You had a fall
You Made it all
So you had to ball
