You know some people in my city wear the finest clothes Fast cars, bangin' systems and designer phones The newest big screen TVs inside they homes Hydraulics, on dubs and lots of shinin' chrome Then you go to their apartment and there's no milk in the fridge They months late on child support steady gyppin' they kids Whole place is run down with no cash in the bank Matter of fact they thousands of dollars down in the tank Yo, Absent ain't like that. I spend responsibly And pick up just about anything I can find for free And I don't blow my money on 40s, smokes and blunts I only rock shirts with alligators embroidered on the front Okay. Maybe not but I copped some fake Obsession From a cat selling outside of the parking lot at Food 4 Less And what's more, I used to get shoes from drug stores I got clowned for my Ponys back in grade number 4 See, back then, everyone had new Air Jordans I was sportin' Filos, Reebaks and Doc Mortons Nobody make fun of my shoes aiight Brand new Adidas with 4 stripes Knockoffs, it's the Knockoffs... Tijiuana Tolex, rubber band Boflex Got my can of Dr. Thunder y'all... I got upset yo When heads made fun of my Geo Metro So I splurged a little, traded it in for that used Echo Them Ford Focuses was just a little too pricey I never get pulled over even when I'm going 90 You'll find me at the grocery store, comparin' the price Stocking up on Top Ramen pasta and rice, yo Check the lyrical style running a miracle mile Up and down the cereal isle Buying them giant bags of generic cereal from the shelf next to the floor Cause that way you pay less and get more I got the Coco Blasts and the Ricey Crunchies Fruity Hula Hoops and the Choco Puffies Oh you saying that's cheap, man, back off, it's all the same stuff Just in a big bag instead of a little box And you don't get, like, a toy and stuff, but so what? I'm supposed to spend like 2 dollars more for that little box of cereal just to get that plastic toy... Knockoffs, it's the knockoffs... Let's go to that 3 dollar movie y'all Me in my fake Gucci y'all, dollar store fat laces
