B.O.A.B.
I'ts hard but, Im making it
Somehow
And now days Im living, just to survive
Due to a few poor financial decisions of mine
Time is money gotta watch how I'm spending my time
Calculating every single penny nickel and dime
Gas light is on every time I get in the ride
Somehow pulled a date with a young Vivica Fox
And no I aint intimidated
If I can play my cards right she'll let me make like jack and pop up in her box
Told I would pick her up, at her place
Sometime around noon this Saturday
Only got enough money to catch the matinee
This whole week I've been running on half a tank
Gotta make it last also make a good impression
So that way if she asks yeah we can get concessions
Thats a large popcorn yeah, even get a beverage
Use every cent as a blessing like it was sent here from Heaven
Spent five dollars on a ten piece nugget
Another five for gas just to get the car running
Had just enough left to take a girl on a date that I'll probably end up fucking
Im balling on a budget
Im balling on a budget
Im balling on a budget
So throw your ones up in the air like you just don't care if you're balling on a budget
Phewww alright
Let me see how much I got left
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
Hell yeah
Just enough to go to the studio later
We good
Money doesn't make the man the man makes the money
So you can still be the shit even if you a bum see
It's all about the way that you carry yourself
Picture being superior with inferior wealth
See I never had a whole lot of money up in the bank
And my wallet dryer than a desert when it never rains
But there's always been some people putting respect on the name
And abunch of women that fuck with the vision though I aint
Making paper never let it take away from the way that I think of myself
In otherwords this confidence never waiver
Lately I've been gaining weight from all of this Mcdonald's
Pay for a number 8 with some change up out the console
With a big ole smile on my face the whole drive home
If you did't know me you never would've thought I was broke
What good is money if you don't know how to manage it
Man I'm feeling good as ever though Im barely managing
Spent five dollars on a ten piece nugget
Another five for gas just to get the car running
Had just enough left to take a girl on a date that I'll probably end up fucking
Im balling on a budget
Im balling on a budget
Im balling on a budget
So throw your ones up in the air like you just don't care if you're balling on a budget
