A Couple Dollars - Apollo Brown/Joell Ortiz.mp3

[00:18.488] We just wanted to live
[00:21.344] They told us that countin' up somethin'
[00:23.414] Seems the only way you can live
[00:28.542] Swear to God we just wanted to live
[00:32.540] They told us that countin' up somethin'
[00:34.513] Seems the only way you can live
[00:36.847] In love with a mattress that was somewhat outta place
[00:39.196] Where due to old habits it can double as a Chase
[00:42.142] Talkin' major key, let it cut you out a case
[00:44.777] And tryna run the city 'til it run you outta state
[00:47.629] Told us all of this is straight, and it's worth what you wait on
[00:50.508] Starin' at the exit like "yo I ain't tryna stay long"
[00:53.299] Kitchen table decorator situate a plate on
[00:56.124] Jeśus, heavy is the head the crown lay on
[00:58.956] But all of this straight
[01:00.299] Runnin' outta state is what you play for and stay for
[01:03.250] To turn to what you leave for, get your 16 on
[01:05.749] Like talkin' mic check, throw the beat on
[01:07.943] Or talkin' 'bout a key but being 20 OZ short
[01:10.796] 16 ain't enough, Andre features
[01:13.361] As quick as you can be on, you'll be gone
[01:15.719] Waiting on a detour, couple U-turns to where you belong
[01:19.139] At best you can get your sight see on
[01:21.368] Just need a couple dollars
[01:22.754] A couple dollars baby
[01:24.070] Bet you I can plug 'em
[01:25.355] Til the wallet dropping babies
[01:26.794] Just need a couple dollars
[01:28.036] A couple dollars baby
[01:29.611] Told if I can get 'em
[01:30.916] All of them will save me
[01:32.436] Saved in a drop top BM
[01:34.604] Right side, DM
[01:35.954] All praise due up
[01:37.378] Tell him when I see him
[01:38.779] Started with a couple dollars baby
[01:40.761] Was told if I can get 'em
[01:42.235] All of them will save me
[01:43.702] It's off a couple dollars
[01:45.053] And it sounds like beautiful like the truth
[01:46.798] Like "she bad but even more beautiful in the coupe"
[01:49.550] And seeing that was seeing all that I would need to pursue
[01:52.335] The e-class that was used to corner me off the stoop
[01:55.154] Was as clean as the book that your hand on
[01:57.696] When you prayed that we stayed away from them anthems
[02:00.415] **** is left for us except for us to go stand on
[02:03.354] A box with a rope and a bottle of Spade
[02:05.975] Carpe diem, carpe diem, make it pop it for the day
[02:08.468] I threw money to jeweler, sneaker box full of change
[02:11.366] Know me, I'm no better I'm about it the same
[02:14.009] Cause on a box with a rope is how we got in this frame
[02:16.862] Now flick it up, one time for 'em, one time for 'em
[02:20.275] Know it's lit if they in here with the 9 on 'em
[02:23.251] One time for em, one time for em
[02:25.940] And the parades lining up along the side for 'em
[02:28.722] Just need a couple dollars
[02:29.801] A couple dollars baby
[02:30.924] Bet you I can plug 'em

[02:52.181] As a youngin', had a lot on my plate
[02:54.148] I ain't finna complain, just had a lot on my plate
[02:57.182] Razors, 12 12 skinnies and 58s
[02:59.980] I cooked a 6 deuce and came back with 58
[03:02.689] I ain't stressin', I ain't stretch it, I just cheffed it in the butter
[03:05.453] Orville Redenbacher, had it poppin', word to mother
[03:08.181] Swervin' under covers, had it local, had it OT
[03:11.272] Whippin' up P-O-T tryna get to the T-O-P
[03:14.144] Get in and get out, that's always the plan
[03:16.350] But all of them bands to a kid in the project who had nothin', so damned
[03:20.057] Hard to let go from starvin' stomach, hollow with the echo
[03:22.991] To the hardest Marc Ecko extra large retro
[03:25.743] MJs before they dropped, but a lot started to drop
[03:28.451] Stick up kids got the drop, my sneaker box dropped
[03:31.068] Dropped crack, switched to diesel when some fiends dropped
[03:33.715] Feds eavesdroppin'' on my drop, got 'em street blocked
[03:36.479] They dropped by my man's spot so now he locked
[03:39.136] I drop to both knees prayin' dimes don't get dropped
[03:41.876] Dropped it all, be the bird locked in the coupe
[03:44.380] Or take your talent more serious and lock in that booth
[03:47.241] I chose the latter, and thank God for showin' Joe the ladder
[03:50.270] Helped me climb through these rhymes
[03:51.721] Who said I would never matter?
[03:53.019] Look at me, such a hard act to follow
[03:55.131] Lookin' forward to tomorrow, you'll never hear me holler
