By the Scale

Graduated, I ain't go to Yale
Got a sack, invested in some bales
A couple bags didn't make it in the mail, yeah
Had to taste a mil'
Never swiped, never been a scammer
All this traffic, neighbors probably scared
Late nights trappin' by the stairs, yeah
I was saved by the scale, yeah
I was saved by the scale
I was saved by the scale, yeah
I was saved by the scale
I was saved by the scale, yeah
I was saved by the scale
I was saved by the scale, yeah

Attic full of narcotics, I pray nobody watchin'
Pistols stuffed in the couches, all of 'em got some bodies
Dog food in the pantry next to the bricks of molly
Cocaine in the washer under the dirty laundry
That's why I slept on an air mattress, wasn't no furniture
If these walls could talk I hope they'd tell nobody else
12 hit the spot and I thank God it wasn't nobody there
All that cocaine powder there, probably would've caught an L
Ooh, ooh, ooh
If you knew what I knew
It's like a zoo-ooh-ooh
I'm livin' proo-ooh-ooh-oof

Late nights starin' at these pots, starvin'
No food in the freezer or the cabinet, we hungry
Hungry, standin' in the trap 'til it turn morning (For real)
Yawnin', tryna flip this pack before 12 swarm in
Baby need some diapers, eviction notice on the 'partment
And my bitch keep fightin', all she wanna do is argue
It's hard, yeah, tryna be there for my son and my daughter
Nights turn into days and all my days turn to tomorrows
Problems, every day tryna find a way to solve 'em
Ridin' 'round with a load on me, tryna dodge these charges
Risk it all for my family while takin' all these losses
Askin' the Lord watch over me, prayin' to these crosses
