Split-P-Datruth - Luxury

I grew up in the projects
Where everything in the hood was a project
Real talk
We played basketball with no goal
We played basketball with no ball yo
Pass the rock
And you don't get it you don't get it
Where I came from you had to go out and get it
Hustling was something that just came with it
Two strikes against us did I fell to mention
Black male
Loosing ain't a option
If you loose then your ass was starving
No food
Mama told me I'm a different
Mama told me that I could make a difference
She did
I ain't listen I ain't listen
Cause all the dope dealers had the money and the women
Big gold chains riding in them seven-tres
All I ever wanted was to be paid
Be paid
Now my life ain't the same
Got a bank account with commas in my name
I ain't got to steal no more to get paid
But one thing ain't change I hustle everyday
It ain't a luxury yall
I had to work hard just so I could ball
It ain't a luxury yall
Shooting that ball without no ball
It ain't a luxury yall
I had to work hard just so I could ball
It ain't a luxury yall
Shooting that ball without no ball
I use to walk everywhere
Now its European whips to go from here to there
I pumped gas for change
Now I drop bills that create change
Use to eat leftovers every single day
Now it's a different meal every single day
I worked hard for this
Dam right I'm going to splurge a little bit
Hit the mall and shop mom no more clearance
You ain't got to worry about what your spending
I got them
As she smiled and grind a penny saved is a penny made
And I'll never forget where I came from and what it took to get here
Million long nights and a whole lot of tears
A lot of hard work
But we made it right here
Right here
It ain't a luxury yall
I had to work hard just so I could ball
It ain't a luxury yall
Shooting that ball without no ball
It ain't a luxury yall
I had to work hard just so I could ball
It ain't a luxury yall
Shooting that ball without no ball
It ain't a luxury yall
I had to work hard just so I could ball
It ain't a luxury yall
Shooting that ball without no ball
It ain't a luxury yall
I had to work hard just so I could ball
It ain't a luxury yall
Shooting that ball without no ball
It ain't a luxury yall
It ain't a luxury yall
I'm living luxury yall
Haha
Real-talk
Haha
