Josh HP - Green

Envy, yea uh
I want what you got
My eyes are green with envy
I'm cooking on stove with my new pot
Yea, but you got two pots, now I'm jealous today
I'm a slave to your possessions, I see you with it then I got to get it
I wish I had attention like you
I wish instead of leaving they always stayed like they do with you
I wish I had that fast cash and foreign car
I wish upon a star my wish would make me who you are
Conniving with it, I'll lose myself to keep up
Desire burns straight through my soul and these new sneakers
My size is your size so I'm sure to fit in
Walk the path that you walk, don't mind the struggles within
If I can feel the same feelings you do, I'll struggle like you
Without you here who do I compare myself too
I put you high up on a pedestal to see what you view, to see what I want
New Bentley truck, I envy you
Apparently you're better that me
And Life's a rat race, you stack more cheddar than me
I fantasize with jealous eyes my stacks bigger
No compromise to be like you go in debt quicker
Now all my niggas think that I'm the man
They'll never know that I was guided by others, they couldn't understand
I think back to the pedestal to make my next move
And I notice my friend beside me has the same shoes
It's almost like uhh, he envy me and I envy someone else
Or we just envy the same... Nevermind... ENVY, MONEY
Never mind that slow dough, I need those fast Bucks
Antetokounmpo dough to pose in photos
How else these niggas gonna know that I got it
And, how else these bitches gonna know without flaunting
Truth be told this life's hard, but never catch me struggling
Before you see me down I'll make the muzzle lift
They say you'll never make no money if you're scared of it
So I run up on you fearless and I take your chips
I'm mean for green, a bully for them Big notes
Come and see me on my block, get you them good quotes
That 9 to 5 to slow for the fast life
I gotta have ice, my heater warm cuz it aint half priced
Do what I gotta do to maintain chains
My campaign got currency pumping though my main vein
Going for trapper of the year when I slang cain
Dollar bills fill up a body bag, they blood stained
That filthy money, silky hundreds make the world go round
That hard cash make your girl go down
Everything I ever wanted in life provided by the paper
It's my savior, for dinero say a prayer
The Devil made me do everything for it
But God provided all the reasons it seemed legit
I'm rooted in all the evils to make my pelf top notch
Use to stack it all for attention and now the cops watch...
Damn... Wasn't trying to do all that. Guess I got caught up in the (Green, Green, Green)
ENVY, MONEY, GROWTH
Learn from mistakes, never call me a dumb nigga
Was on the wrong path and made a way
I hit a fork in the road and I kept straight
Was seeded in illegitimate things, came with irresistible flings
Thank God for growth and I aint lying
Was living life as a cub and became a Lion
Lessons learned from fingers burned that the stove hot
I used to run blocks and pilfer glitter, now I'm the block builder
Life has a funny way of changing where you're headed
I made moves that I have regretted
Used to deal for dollar bills, now I know credit
Used to envy all your frills, now I know they're misdirected
I used, to finger point and avoid some things
Eventually I would destroy all the joy life brings
Now, I know better I aged well like fine wine goal-minded mind shine like I'm divine
I might have took a long time but now I prove the wiser
Always tell myself I can go higher
Never thought I would be here, my dreams clear
In the past I lived life fast felt death near, listen
I grew up a tough weed and turned into Rose bud
Used to be filled with hate and now I promote love
Don't mistake that I'm at my limits I got more to go
More to know
I push harder when I see the growth
