i've been stressing all day
like bill gotta get it paid
whether not i got it on me
it's still god over money
i know anything i need he got
it really don't matter how low i get
we gon' sit up in the dark before i hit that block
family calling me for help
sometimes i got some of dough
if i got it you can have it
but sometimes i just be low
don't you be all on my ig?
thinking everything be icy
some folks forget everything they know
will you forget everything you know?
when i hear that money calling
i might pick up i may not
then it's probably not from god
i remember going to the church every sunday
hit the fast lane getting that chain
living like i never knew god at all
then he broke me down again
showed me that i need his help
tried to beat him but i need him
i can't do this by myself
thinking it's always been icy
some folks forget everything they know
will you forget everything you know?
will your motives change when you get low?
i never thought to ask you this before
never knew what it was like to have that
all i ever knew was to be broke
and when i was i did some things i can't change
turned my back on everything i know
momma raised me right papa stayed out my life
till i chose to go out like the protocol
and i never thought i would go
some folks forget everything they know
will you forget everything you know?
