why so sad?
walking around with them blue faces
she said i'm down on my luck
and it's something i gotta have
blue faces
i hit the bank today and told them color me bad
blue faces
get that new money
and it's breaking me down honey
two tears in the bucket i cry with you
but i could never lie with you
i could never afford not to afford
i could never put my plans to the side with you
i could never see a red light
like a deer with a headlight
i freeze up when i re-up
see i barely have patience
and you're relating
only the moment to complete us
why you hate to work for it?
the reason i never went to work for it
see a nine to five was so jive turkey
but when thanksgiving came that check didn't hurt me
you plead the fifth
i read the fifth amendment
we both criminals with bad intentions
they say time heals all
but if i can shortcut
my success
corvettes by tomorrow
why so sad?
walking around with them blue faces
she said i'm down on my luck
and it's something i gotta have
blue faces
i hit the bank today and told them color me bad
blue faces
get that new money
and it's breaking me down honey
my home girl got a credit card scam
she got a scholarship to college but she don't give a damn
intuition she got a broke bitch wishin'
she tell me this on the phone with the noodles in the pan
i know you
woman
i console you
woman
you feel like the universe owes you
woman
oh the anticipation
of hoping you could make it
bitches don't prosper chasing education
but you're talented
and can't handle it
and your homegirls can't be your manager
365 times four
plus more
if yan't get it right
tell me
do you got the stamina?
but shit
ain't no money like fast money
even today i'm considered a crash dummy
a rapper chasing stardom
how can i fast forward?
my accolades better than all them
why so sad?
walking around with them blue faces
she said i'm down on my luck
and it's something i gotta have
blue faces
i hit the bank today and told them color me bad
blue faces
get that new money
and it's breaking me down honey
i wrote this song looking at a broke home baby
you know the poverty stricken the little broke boy and babies
somebody yell kendrick american
