My life's a joke, you pass and I'll toke

Got no money, yeah we broke, but long as it's burnin' we got hope

I'll drive, you roll, james brown - he got soul

Got no ends, got no dough, but we gets down on the overflow

Don't gotta profile and post, I don't floss when I'm walkin'

Don't brag or boast, I let my skills do the talkin'

Won't say I'm ballin' though you callin' me a player

Cuz' I get so much love in my city I'm like the mayor

I'm paper stackin', I'm pickin' up the slackin'

I make it happen while you rap cats are nappin'

You see I'm laughin' cuz' my life is like a joke

I'm gonna make this dream happen all I need is some hope

Ya see, back in the day good times were all I knew

It was, late night parties sayin' screw the curfew

But as I grew and time flew I felt reality strike

against the odds I'm like Nas all I need is one mic

hot pickin', politickin', itchin' just to get rich n'

put Columbus on the map but you haters keep bitchin'

that I ain't give you no love

when you don't deserve it, gotta make your own buzz cuz

My life's a joke, you pass and I'll toke

Got no money, yeah we broke, but long as it's burnin' we got hope

I'll drive, you roll, james brown - he got soul

Got no ends, got no dough, but we gets down on the overflow

It seems like some girls only want that green paper

They hear you aint rich they like peace see ya later

Always playin' games social climbin' with names

They lookin' at the chain around the next persons frame

Yo can you explain cuz; I'm goin' insane

Instead of gold diggin' I'd be diggin' ya brain

Livin' for the fame got you in the fast lane

But you're to drunk to drive so the story will remain

It's all the same they say it's written in the stars

Ya lookin' to Hollywood, I'm lookin' past Mars

No phat cars but baby we can still roll

Another L and just blaze and find our souls in the haze

It's just a phase in these days I'm tryin' to live my life proper

Getting' high with some help from my friends like Joe Cocker

Stashed it in my locker, but now it's public knowledge

We share the overflow, higher learnin' like college

My life's a joke, you pass and I'll toke

Got no money, yeah we broke, but long as it's burnin' we got hope

I'll drive, you roll, james brown - he got soul

Got no ends, got no dough, but we gets down on the overflow
