Whatever

[Hook]: She said I would always say "Never" When it came to what I sacrificed for the cheddar Things got bad and they wasn't getting better Gotta get my life together so now it's whatever Whatever for the doe Whatever for the rent Whatever for my kids, it don't gotta make sense/cents As long as it makes dollars, tomorrow I'll repent Yesterday I did it, today I'll do it again It's whatever man [Verse One]: I know what beauty is I seen it pass my eyes My niece in school with her daughter, although we had no ties She said she heard I was famous, I said, "Nah, that's a lie But I inspire my people, and yeah I rap sometimes." Me assuming she modeled or did music But neither of those were true so I guess she thought I was cute Then I found out a little later, what I wish I'd learned sooner When asking a couple people, I prayed, it was a rumor I know girls that dance, that look like someone's wifey With plastic implants but shorty was unlikely Her hair, all natural Her essence, so serene Her smile, like an angel Her speech, had esteem No name brands or nothing I thought about dating Her status, said single Her vibe, said she was taken I guess, that I was forward by asking her occupation The first night we went out for drinks, she started shaking And explaining that she liked me and she had to just confess That tonight was supposed to be be the night that we both got undressed I said, "That ain't my objective", she said, "Sure, you wanna bet?" Told her, call her babysitter then that's when she got upset [Hook]: She said I would always say "Never" When it came to what I sacrificed for the cheddar Things got bad and they wasn't getting better Gotta get my life together so now it's whatever Whatever for the doe Whatever for the rent Whatever for my kids, it don't gotta make sense/cents As long as it makes dollars, tomorrow I'll repent Yesterday I did it, today I'll do it again It's whatever man [Verse Two]: My ego landed me inside her home I peeped her little girl there all alone Counted all the times she texted in her phone And then she let me know what it would take to bone I tried to go, her face was lifeless And a tear was steady forming as she ran down the prices Said, "For head it's just $150. But I know you won't just like it You gon' love it. And the pussy's $400. That shit is psychic It will talk to you. Tell you what you wanna hear and soothe you." And now the tears were dropping, "Ma, there's no way I'm do you And I'm not about to pay you." As she sniffled and got nearer Said her baby father left, she lost her job and it got realer Cause he emptied her account and now it's hard to face the mirror Cause for rent she does whatever hoping baby girl don't hear her Damn I couldn't tell if she was scamming So I left the room and there was her daughter and I imagined What was going through her head as she saw me Somehow managed to say "Sorry" to her face And I tried to up and vanish But the little girl asked, "Did you give mommy medicine? Whenever doctors come over, I have to let 'em in I hope one day she gets better then I won't have to go stay with daddy." Yo my head was spinning Maybe I should leave bread Maybe I should get head Maybe I should call Social Services, I feel misled But what if that was you? Or somebody close that didn't know what to do No friends, no fam, no help, no real clue Of how to get by every month when the rent is due Damn [Hook]: She said I would always say "Never" When it came to what I sacrificed for the cheddar Things got bad and they wasn't getting better Gotta get my life together so now it's whatever Whatever for the doe Whatever for the rent Whatever for my kids, it don't gotta make sense/cents As long as it makes dollars, tomorrow I'll repent Yesterday I did it, today I'll do it again It's whatever man [Outro]: Lotta folks out there going through some things that...we don't even know about man. Be grateful for what you have
