Papercha$E

If you rise high, you fall far
Even knowing that, I still want it all
Trying to get free reign till my curtain call
Life is just a parachute preparing for the fall
And I'm seeing all the holes in it
I fear death so I'm patching up the holes and shit
My parents stress so I gotta make the money quick
I work with less, success is just another trick
Now watch me while I work my magic
A life with no money is simply tragic
Gotta keep moving can't remain static
So I move the pen to make an instant classic
I never grow tired of all the money spendin'
But I got bags under my eyes from all the money gettin'
If I sleep then niggas bound to take my own position
I put the miles in, success is only fittin'

Yeah I pray every day, all my troubles just wash away
Eyes closed living day to day
I can't see when you walk away
You know I'm on the paper chase
And all my brothers doing just the same
I'm just living day to day
Baby I'm just living day to day, always

I think about life, I think about the cash
Look upon the future, reflecting on the past
Can't ever get attached, my nigga, nothing lasts
I be pushing on the breaks but life is going fast
And I'm still getting fined
Speeding through life coloring outside the lines
Creating poetry for all these troubled minds
My motive is to shine
Cause I'm a poet, Allen Poe shit
I tried to learn quick
Avoid the raven, kid
ForevermoreI plan to sit on to the throne, kid
That number one spot is soon to be my homestead
My life has been a Hail-Mary for the throne and shit
But these bitch niggas always be on that hoe shit
I see the truth, that's why I'm thinking more shit
Perpetuate the lame while I collect the doe and shit

Yeah I pray every day, all my troubles just wash away
Eyes closed living day to day
I can't see when you walk away
You know I'm on the paper chase
And all my brothers doing just the same
I'm just living day to day
Baby I'm just living day to day, always

Don't bite off more than you can chew
Don't let the green grass grow from up under you
Don't let a haters hand ever rock the cradle dude
Don't ever let the whole world make a fool of you
And that's that real shit
And I'm just trying to live my life
Swimming in dollar bills and shit
No longer live my live
Stressing about the bills and shit
Can't see the truth, my eyes covered by my bill and shit
But I hope you're impressed with it
I hope you know that the flow is just a testament
I hope you know that being dope is just a requisite
I hope you know that all my shit is fucking eloquent
This that muhfuckin' super dope
Honestly my shit is deeper than the usual
Most of these other niggas ain't even musical
You feel that I'm the best, that feelings mutual

Yeah I pray everyday, all my troubles just wash away
Eyes closed living day to day
I can't see when you walk away
You know I'm on the paper chase
And all my brothers doing just the same
I'm just living day to day
Baby I'm just living day to day, always

Yeah I pray everyday, all my troubles just wash away
Eyes closed living day to day
I can't see when you walk away
You know I'm on the paper chase
And all my brothers doing just the same
I'm just living day to day
Baby I'm just living day to day, always
