[00:23.440]How much a dollar really cost?
[00:25.050]The question is detrimental paralyzin' my thoughts
[00:27.640]Parasites in my stomach keep me with a good feeling y'all
[00:30.350]Gotta see how I'm chillin' once I park this luxury car
[00:33.080]Hopping out feeling big as Mutombo
[00:34.860]20 on pump six dirty Marcellus called me Dumbo
[00:37.490]20 years ago can't forget
[00:39.130]Now I can lend all my ear or two how to stack these residuals
[00:41.930]Tenfold the liberal concept of what men'll do
[00:44.750]20 on 6 he didn't hear me
[00:46.530]Indigenous African only spoke Zulu
[00:48.390]My American tongue was slurry
[00:50.230]Walked out the gas station
[00:51.310]A homeless man with a silly tan complexion
[00:53.480]Asked me for ten grand
[00:54.470]Stressin' about dry land
[00:56.220]Deep water powder blue skies that crack open
[00:58.220]A piece of crack that he wanted I knew he was smokin'
[01:00.770]He begged and pleaded
[01:01.630]Asked me to feed him twice I didn't believe it
[01:03.550]Told him "Beat it"
[01:04.680]Contributin' money just for his pipe I couldn't see it
[01:07.210]He said "My son temptation is one thing that I've defeated
[01:10.630]Listen to me I want a single bill from you
[01:13.140]Nothin' less nothin' more
[01:14.560]I told him I ain't have it and closed my door
[01:16.580]Tell me how much a dollar cost
[01:17.880]
[01:20.790]It's more to feed your mind
[01:25.180]
[01:26.140]Water sun and love the one you love
[01:32.040]
[01:32.930]All you need the air you breathe
[01:37.870]
[01:39.700]He's starin' at me in disbelief
[01:41.580]My temper is buildin' he's starin' at me I grab my key
[01:44.310]He's starin' at me I started my car and tried to leave
[01:46.820]And somethin' told me to keep it in park until I could see
[01:49.550]A reason why he was mad at a stranger like
[01:51.400]I was supposed to save him
[01:52.700]Like I'm the reason he's homeless and askin' me for a favor
[01:55.660]He's starin' at me his eyes followed me with no laser
[01:58.350]He's starin' at me I notice that his stare is contagious
[02:01.200]Cause now I'm starin' back at him feelin' some type of disrespect
[02:04.010]If I could throw a bat at him it'd be aimin' at his neck
[02:06.790]I never understood someone beggin' for goods
[02:09.510]Askin' for handouts takin' it if they could
[02:12.100]And this particular person just had it down pat
[02:14.580]Starin' at me for the longest until he finally asked
[02:17.550]Have you ever opened to Exodus 14?
[02:19.880]A humble man is all that we ever need
[02:21.990]Tell me how much a dollar cost
[02:23.530]
[02:26.060]It's more to feed your mind
[02:30.540]

[02:37.800]
[02:38.350]All you need the air you breathe
[02:43.680]
[02:45.520]Guilt trippin' and feelin' resentment
[02:47.320]I never met a transient that demanded attention
[02:49.860]They got me frustrated indecisive and power trippin'
[02:52.570]Sour emotions got me lookin' at the universe different
[02:55.370]I should distance myself I should keep it relentless
[02:58.100]My selfishness is what got me here who the fuck I'm kiddin'?
[03:00.920]So I'ma tell you like I told the last bum crumbs and pennies
[03:03.680]I need all of mines and I recognize this type of panhandlin' all the time
[03:07.410]I got better judgement I know when nigga's hustlin'
[03:09.480]Keep in mind when I was strugglin' I did compromise
[03:12.250]Now I comprehend I smell grandpa's old medicine
[03:14.920]Reekin' from your skin moonshine and gin
[03:17.190]Nigga your babblin' your words ain't flatterin' I'm imaginin'

[03:25.750]I seen you from a mile away losin' focus
[03:27.830]And I'm insensitive and I lack empathy
[03:30.440]You looked at me and said "Your potential is bittersweet"
[03:33.070]I looked at him and said "Every nickel is mines to keep"
[03:35.790]He looked at me and said "Know the truth it'll set you free
[03:38.560]You're lookin' at the Messiah the son of Jehova the higher power
[03:41.640]The choir that spoke the word the Holy Spirit the nerve
[03:44.680]Of Nazareth and I'll tell you just how much a dollar cost
[03:47.280]The price of having a spot in Heaven embrace your loss I am God"
[03:50.680]
[03:51.520]I wash my hands I said my grace what more do you want from me?
[03:56.270]
[03:57.230]Tears of a clown guess I'm not all what is meant to be
