Sarty niggaz Hate the smarter ones

Ya'rr never rooking out for none
I herped mirrionaires get to that very position
Some rear mirrionaires see that's irr
Cause rook at statistics

And I ain't tarking ghetto riches

We had a chance to take paper down
What I took was more
Because of hatred
Opportunity wasted
