I feel guilty for all the bad in my life I've done I feel guilty for ignoring my duties for fun I feel guilty for even thinkin' that I should run away from you, not realizing you're the one
you're the prize that I won, and I didn't even know but now I opened up my eyes, and I'm here fa'sho I'm stayin' right here, daddy ain't gon' ever go away from you, and mommy. And this song
is a testament for my daughter and future kids that daddy workin' his butt off for you and promise this: I'll always be there for you even if I am not rich daddy tried, and daddy nearly broke his head
daddy nearly lost his mind and he got depressed he wasn't used to responsibility, what a test that was a whole lotta weight pressin' on my chest and I kept failin' even though I tried my best
<< hook >> I wasted time playin' in my life always thinkin' I was doin' alright but now I need to get that dough 'cause now I'm grown
I got little people dependin' on me and now, now I can see that I need to get that dough 'cause now I'm grown << hook >>
I wanted so damn hard to be rich it's kinda funny when you grow up, the difference between a boy and a man, listen to this when I was young I wanted money to get chicks
now that I'm grown I wanna make money for my kids retire my momma and have enough for tuition for all my nieces and my nephews and that's it that is the only reason that I wanna be rich
forget jewelry and cars and stupid things all the things young boys have in all their dreams I only want one thing, stability and only for one reason, family
but now I'm growin' up and I see the reality realistically I need to win the lottery because this music ain't takin' me where I need to be but at least it do help me deal wit' my insanity
<< hook >> I wasted time playin' in my life always thinkin' I was doin' alright but now I need to get that dough 'cause now I'm grown
I got little people dependin' on me and now, now I can see that I need to get that dough 'cause now I'm grown << hook >>
realistic visionary, pessimistic optimist incredibly confident but lackin' in my confidence I know my music good and I know I'm not a novice but I keep losin' the race, like I'm racin' against Sonic
and I know the reason why I haven't got rich and famous 'cause no body know who the hell I am and I blame this on the fact I live in China but I could just change it could return to America but what if I ain't make it
so I haven't went back, for 8 years, in fact man I know that I could make it people heard my tracks but it is what it is, and yes my name is Zak callin' me Mr Malik, wit' a bomb that's strapped
to my mic, I be blowin' up beats all night Xen Nightz never open up for people that you like 'cause the people that you like don't know who he is but you should know I surely ain't a kid, I'm grown up
<< hook >> I wasted time playin' in my life always thinkin' I was doin' alright but now I need to get that dough 'cause now I'm grown
I got little people dependin' on me and now, now I can see that I need to get that dough 'cause now I'm grown << hook >>
