If You Say So (A CAPPELLA - CLEAN)

Could manifest it if you say so
Be bout your bread, a box of Panko
We ain't the same, ain't got the same goals
Peeling back these bankrolls
Can't you see I've changed clothes
They used to say I'm out my mango
Sent up a prayer, I got angels
Along this journey ain't no paved roads
Could've hitched a stagecoach
Trekking till I'm safe home

Oh, so you pushing on some big wheels
I see you spending up them big bills
Can't bake a cake and eat it too, that's a
big deal
Chasing cookies, my n***a, don't get your milk spilled
It got real, trying to lift that load
I feel Mack, it was thrift shop clothes
Before that, we was just that broke
Before that, food stamps, rain checks with the discount codes
Look at the brother now, I'm just that bold
At capacity, still carrying load
With two souls, that's dependent on me
Run up a check to get them something to eat
I ran the distance to keep shoes on they feet
Ain't nothing better than your daughters giving
hearts with they keys
And they think they daddy dope, ain't no one
cooler than me
I grew a lot, broke strolling these streets
To all my folks who went through it for a coke and a smile
Bang my line if we ain't spoken a while
I'm here for you

Could manifest it if you say so
Be about your bread, a box of Panko
We ain't the same, ain't got the same goals
Peeling back these bankrolls
Can't you see I've changed clothes?
They used to say I'm out my mango
Sent up a prayer, I got angels
Along this journey ain't no paved roads
Could've hitched a stagecoach, trek until I'm safe, home

People look at me and quickly say I'm up now
I can concur, I went and splurged, got matching shirts now
Could fill the purse and get the flipping bills on dinner dates
Could hit the car lot, throw some bands up on some dealer plates
I learned a lot about sacrifice when somethings real at stake
Looking at some foreclosures, bout to flip some real estates
Ain't nothing better than rock bottom, you got room to rise
Cause even caterpillars blossom into butterflies
What's the odds of beating poverty?
You've seen me cry
Now every meal I eat is happy plus it's supersized
I told them hear me out, try to understand my story
I wrote it down and lived it out, ain't no one planned it for me
A different category, a higher tax bracket
I've been invested in myself so now I'm back rapping
To all my ballers with well-rounded accounts
Could lose it all but if you fall you gon' bounce
Believe that

Could manifest it if you say so
Be bout your bread, a box of panko
We ain't the same, ain't got the same goals
Peeling back these bankrolls, can't you see
I've changed clothes
They used to say I'm out my mango
Sent up a prayer, I got angels
Along this journey ain't no paved roads
Could've hitched a stagecoach, trekking till I'm safe home
