Two Dollar Bills (Mama Always Said) Lyrics

What's wrong, bae? Why you looking so stressed

Man, I'm just trying to get this money together

You know, we got all these bills and stuff

And I just can't seem to get my flow right

Well, you gotta keep your head up. This is temporary

You got this, and I got you, alright

Yeah, I know. Mama always said it'll be days like this

My mama finally told me she was proud of me

The one time I know she ain't looking down on me

I left when I could, man, I was only eighteen

I had to go after the dreams trying to escape me

A young rebel, hard-headed

In and out of jail, straight to hell's where y'all headed

Heard it from my Grammy coming up, told me that I need to change some

But honestly, I'm just out here trying to make some

It all started with the dreams of a better life

Plotting on how I could try to go get this cheddar right

Chasing paper seems to make you do wrong instead of right

In the hood, posted. Corner days and Chevron nights

That was then, but it's still relevant. This is my testament

We all have a rich nigga preference. Yeah, but that ain't real life

Naw, you wanna know what I feel like? Man

I swear. I'm just trying to find a better way

I'm just trying to live a better life

But the weather's so cold and I can't seem to find

Two dollar bills to rub together

Whoa-oh (Mama always said it would be hard on my own)

Two dollar bills to rub together

Whoa-oh (Mama always said it would be hard on my own)

Being down and out is new to me. On the computer

Filing for a couple job opportunities. I don't wanna work

Ain't in a better way? I'm thinking of

Copping a zip and starting to peddle yay

It's kinda hard in the streets for a nigga

My homies are hustling, I'm trying to eat with my niggas

Cause I wanna be flossing with the winners. Eating good

Instead of crackers and Vienna sausages for dinner, Lord

I'm trying to keep my head up, but I'm so fed up.

It make me wanna get a Beretta and plan a setup

Like tonight somebody's getting wet up. Bumping that Kendrick

In the basement. Yeah, a home invasion was persuasive.

I need to come up with a master plan

8-Tre, front me a zip till I got cash a hand, yeah

And they say it's no nuts, no glory

Money talks, so that mean no bucks, no story

I swear. I'm just trying to find a better way

I'm just trying to live a better life

But the weather's so cold and I can't seem to find

Two dollar bills to rub together

Whoa-oh (Mama always said it would be hard on my own)

Two dollar bills to rub together

Whoa-oh (Mama always said it would be hard on my own)

Mama, Mama, Mama always said it would be hard on my own

Mama, Mama, Mama always said it would be hard on my own

Mama, Mama, Mama always said it would be hard

Always said it would be hard on my own

Mama, Mama, Mama always said it would be hard on my own

Own, on my own

I swear. I'm just trying to find a better way

I'm just trying to live a better life

But the weather's so cold and I can't seem to find

Two dollar bills to rub together

Whoa-oh (Mama always said it would be hard on my own)

Two dollar bills to rub together

Whoa-oh (Mama always said it would be hard on my own)

I swear. I'm just trying to find a better way

I'm just trying to live a better life

But the weather's so cold and I can't seem to find

Two dollar bills to rub together

Whoa-oh (Mama always said it would be hard on my own)

Two dollar bills to rub together

Whoa-oh (Mama always said it would be hard on my own)
