Fifteen Pennies

There is a jungle you can stumble into
 America, with nothing and they get something but there is
 Kerosene and matches all around smoke and fire clouds
 You'll barely see the light that's...
 I never had a fortune or a trust fund
 Never had a dealer 'cause I was one
 Never change the fabric I was cut from
 Under my Ruger was tucking one gun and a bunch of drugs
 I got skunk drunk on the 8th of November
 Thought we were done son
 The night of the election when the Trump won
 But never felt a punch I can't get up from
 I'm a tough one and I don't
 Judge the ones that never trusted me then
 I treated some of my friends like dust in the wind
 Thinkin' that I had money to spend
 But I'd be stupid and play
 When I have music to make, look
 You want a piece of the American dream?
 You better do like the powerful do and barely concede
 Spend 10000 hours on your hustle degree
 And make the money disappear like it was nothin' to me
 There is a jungle you can stumble into
 America, with nothing and they get something but there is
 Kerosene and matches all around smoke and fire clouds
 You'll barely see the light that's meant to guide you
 Always had a chip about my shoulder
 The only one who never had the code word
 I had to sneak around to the back door
 While you were skippin' rocks I move boulders
 'Til my back was sore
 But I can make a dollar out of fifteen pennies
 Lost souls I've seen many
 I can change-a-chang it gets heavy
 Like a kettle bell or feel like confetti
 Like a kiss, kiss bang
 Nothing personal it's just a business thang
 I was on the train saying, "Bye, bye buddy"
 While you were waiting for whatever Christmas brings
 You can kiss this ring, listen
 My lady tells me I got hate in my eyes
 But I'm just layin' low and taking my time (yeah, yeah, yeah)
 It's never too late
 We all drink the Kool-Aid
 Chasin' the lie
 But I just stay in disguise, come on
 There is a jungle you can stumble into
 America, with nothing and they get something but there is
 Kerosene and matches all around smoke and fire clouds
 You'll barely see the light that's meant to guide you
 There is a jungle you can stumble into
 America, with nothing and they get something but there is
 Kerosene and matches all around smoke and fire clouds
 You'll barely see the light that's meant to guide you
