Pay Attention

All these rappers they’re hurtin’
But y’all interested when they hatin’
Witt Lowry got a beef on Eminem 
That’s when you listen thinking it’s all for fame 
Lemme clean my heart hang it on the line 
Fake friendships  toxic voices in my head I’m not fine 
You make coupla dollars start balling 
You buy new wheel you start rolling 
Push away yo homies 
Not caring to make enemies 
You gotta tear that wall down 
Or you gonna be the same old story in town 

Yeah yeah these rappers be warning 
But y’all pay attention when the fame is growing 
They say rap makes no sense 
Yet it’s poetry I guess 
Now listen
It’s hard to convince the poor that money can’t buy happiness 
After all it’s everything that everybody is looking for fullness 
It’s hard to know what you feeling if I can’t fit in your shoe 
No I can’t put on yours I got mine too 
We all characters of the same book 
Just in different pages maybe on hook
You never know who makes it to the end first 
Appreciate your present give it your best if it’s must 
Y’all busy trying to make for a better tomorrow 
Tomorrow is never here forego your sorrow 
When you gonna live this life 
Slow down and enjoy life
Run while you still can 
Play while it’s still fun 
But remember you live fast
You die young
