Stripes

I'm countin cheques jus' off my stripes
Countin cheques jus' off my stripes
Cu' cu' cuttin cheques jus' off my stripes
I'm countin cheques jus' off my stripes
I'm countin cheques jus' off my stripes
Cu' cu' cuttin cheques jus' off my stripes
I'm countin cheques jus' off my stripes
Countin cheques jus' off my stripes
Cu' cu' cuttin cheques jus' off my stripes
All the work and the sacrifice
Kill myself jus' to make a life
Now my ass in these shinin lights
Now my ass in these shinin lights
Now my ass in these shinin lights
Now my ass in these shinin lights

My shit was stuck like conspitation
Had no guaps for no education
Only thing I had was my dedication
My family came from the lowest station
You wouldn't stand all that frustration
When my bro died came a lotta complications
Wasn't no choice when I learnt patience
Had to fight a war going through the phases
With all the odds saying I won't make it
Always knew I'd be the man
All I needed was a chance
Have my shit on high demand
Make the whole world dance
I needed a leader to help with some thangs
My dad was my hero and he went and he changed
Ain't spoke to that nigga in a year and some change
I jus' kept believing that's what kept me sane
All the times I would've gave up
Had to stay strong I had to change some'
Workin on songs night and the day time
For way too long I had my brain numb
Now that I'm on I gotta say some'

I'm countin cheques jus' off my stripes
I'm countin cheques jus' off my stripes
I'm countin cheques jus' off my stripes
Countin cheques jus' off my stripes
