ovawa - ambitious lyrics
verse
i use to wake up at the break of dawn
half past 6 to be exact sl!ck
go on and throw on my old uniform khakis’
and polish my toughees
mama nagging not understanding
that its this brick phone that keeps my shorts sagging
and these here dust bunny pockets have got me
l+sting for money
plotting on keeping it coming
hustling but you think its funny
cause i’m only in the ninth grade
dying to get paid
all those suburban born
will interpret this wrong
i was born upon rough block
and though we came up out the gutter
i’m tiered of packing the same sh+t up in my lunch box
bread with nothing other than b+tter
i’m a product of public housing
brought up with nothing such as allowance
and fathered by pride
though i must’ve been the forgottеn child of entitlement
but i’m thе kid who couldn’t care less about the parent who left
so f+ck a father i’ve never bothered to ask about him
and if for nothing more than the feeling of being self+impowered
i’m out to go get me mine
so i started stacking profits off, of lollipops
sh+t done changed
but the rule’s the same
check change for that product in the parking lot
chorus
i got my mind on my money and my money on my mind
cause i’m tiered of living bummy out here hungry on my grind
hustling just get it, getting it just to spend it
and spend it to stay alive and i swear this sh+t is twisted
but as long as this n+gga i guarantee ama grind
that’s why i got
that’s why i got my mind on my money
and my money on my mind
consistently getting mine
verse
now at the age of 15 and the end of grade 10
i left the straight and narrow at the bend
got caught using
and shipped up to a private institution
and i was brought up religiously christian
though economically jewish so how could i possibly fit in
this school full of rich kids and users
thick sisters and loose tricks
sl!ck ricks and boosters
and growing up moving i was always known as the new kid
but trust son i wasn’t new to sh+t
the bullsh+ts the same
its just a different pool pit
like cleveland leaving stolebend
only you to blame for the state that you’re in
and only you can change it
so back to game with it
wanting to afford
what these other kids came with from home
i was fiending for that dough
scheme on getting paid
but now you’ve grown so you know you must upgrade the play
flipping a 50 quick
of a twenty pack of cigarettes
chorus
i got my mind on money and my money on my mind
cause i’m tiered of living bummy out here hungry on my grind
hustling just get it, getting it just to spend it
and spend it to stay alive and i swear this sh+t is twisted
but as long as this n+gga i guarantee ama grind
that’s why i got
that’s why i got my mind on my money
and my money on my mind
consistently getting mine
verse
now i had my back against the wire
prior to putting my feet in the fire
and i was ready to die there
fighting fear
with surviving peers
we’d become elusive
distributing swazi
like the breweries did barley
and my product was better than most in the projects
but my intentions was to make the pleasures of life last
rotting in the process of staking these profits
all my n+ggas knew to whistle if ever they saw a cop whip
and watch us sl!ck n+ggas all split
and come back
soon as the heat passed us
pulling out our pockets product
serving tipping the scales of the market
like we were working with stock tips
but handling business wasn’t no guarantee to lavish living
one the other hand we were risking ending up in prison
and i been in them holding cells
i know them well
come toe to toe with going to jail
but god forbid
yo ’cause even when my pockets were slim
i made bail hom’s
thanks to blood we’re more than cousins
know that it’s nothing but love whoo
i got his back through whatever
and i know he got mine that ain’t no question
that ain’t question, that ain’t question b
