tony famous - checks & balance lyrics
verse 1
every other thursday waiting for this check
and blowing through it quickly how soon i forget
eating ramen like every day of the week
i been trying to save for this album but gotta ball for my peeps
peep, some of my homies less fortunate
and they don’t like to show their struggle on the net
so i may pay a couple bills at their address
to show em that their loyalty’s the major cause of my success
wait, these friday nights leave the crib a mess
red solos and stained polos
the world sleeping on us guess my n-ggas taking no doze
til they see sway, el che, and lu in photos
oh no, i guess the camera always on you when you go pro
the new flows just as wavy as that logo
apologies to my white fans, i like tans, but baby i’m in love with coa coa
i’m loco
my big homies say i need to chill, but f-ck it ima keep it real i like getting paid
i remember we were starving and my parents couldn’t feed us so i promised we were never going back to them days
remember huddled under covers with my brothers, we was freezing
bed at 7pm ’cause ain’t no food for eating
mama always crying, daddy why you leaving?
and dreaming in that bottom bunk that maybe we could find some luck
chorus
you gone get that check x2
you gone get that check, but what happens next?
please don’t lose your balance, boy don’t lose your balance
they gone try to knock you over but don’t lose your balance
money come and go x2
but spend it with your mind and not the ones you know
please don’t lose your balance, boy don’t lose your balance
they gone try to knock you over but don’t lose your balance
verse
i remember being bullied at my school ’cause being poor and smart just wasn’t cool
i remember being rude and talking back just to get a couple laughs, and i got em
i remember being jealous of my brothers ’cause i felt like i ain’t have real friends
and i don’t remember drinking every week ’cause that’s how i chose to deal with it
and so it goes
old friends turn to foes
fake sh-t get exposed
fake j’s and girbauds
fake n-ggas having babies
fake b-tches getting chose
now they breeding fake kids how they raise pinocchio, oh!
well i guess that’s how the story goes
one day you got it all, the next day you don’t
high school feeling like the steve harvey show
friends catching bullets in the head, word to romeo
oh no, mama save me from this nightmare
oh no, the city singing rest in peace to blair
oh no, they took my homie spade this sh-t unfair
oh no, they took my brother this sh-t hitting home
oh no, these stray bullets keep on hitting homes
oh no, now shorty lost because his father gone
oh no, i need to leave before i lose my dome
oh no, that’s why we hustle til we earn our throne
chorus
so go and get that check, go and get that check
go and get that check, but what happens next?
please don’t lose your balance, boy don’t lose your balance
they gone try to knock you over but don’t lose your balance
money come and go x2
but spend it with your mind and not the ones you know
please don’t lose your balance, boy don’t lose your balance
they gone try to knock you over but don’t lose your balance
outro
boy don’t lose your balance
they gone try to knock you over but don’t lose your balance
money come and go x2
but spend it with your mind and not the ones your know
oh no…
oh no…
’cause money come and go, money come and go
so spend it with your mind and not the ones you know
