Genarick:
"Broke as a joke, ain got a nickel for a coke
do it free, so you can blare it, he’s buying generic smokes
Mavericks hit the spot, because newports got
way too expensive, he ain even got, money for pot
rents due, he got court costs an fines
feels like his childhood, somehow got lost in time
he went from 18 not payin rent
to 21 outta jail, so desperate to save a cent
he’s f*** ed, this financial situation go him stuck
Enjoy 13, he got hurt dreams young buck
screw being independent, his belly hurts
he don’t wanna be the dude rockin old kicks an smelly shirts
should he risk it? Should he go back to sellin weed
whats your advice, cus I know what my instincts telling me
he should lay low, forget getting some dough
he don’t want his family to see him through plexi-glass y’know?, oh!
**Chorus: I need a dollar, dollar, dollar that's what I need
I need a dollar dollar, dollar that's what I need
I NEED a dollar, dollar, dollar, that's what I need
and If i share with you my story, would you share your dollar with me?**
Mike Nagle:
So here it is back to my slave job, where the bosses play god/
40 hours ain enough to make ‘em say stop/-
-workin, but I wanna be a rapper/
and, all I ever seem to hear is, “don’t quit your day job”/
I just want someone to back me wit this rappin/
like, “Mike, you got exactly what it takes to make it happen”/
at this moment, feelin like a donkey, picture the back end/
cus my family’s like a boat, and its goin down with the captain/
sh** I’d be comin up, if I got a penny for my thoughts/
I only got 2 cents, and I’ma spend ‘em on the bars/
I need a dollar in my pocket, f*** you could give me change/
Try supporting a family, with only pennies to your name/
an to support an addiction that gets deadlier with age/
that I was driven to, cus all the envy I’ve engaged/
I swear to God, Jesus Christ, Buddha and ALLAH/
Somebody help me out,… I need a f*** ing DOLLA/…
**Chorus: I need a dollar, dollar, dollar that's what I need
I need a dollar dollar, dollar that's what I need
I NEED a dollar, dollar, dollar, that's what I need
and If i share with you my story, would you share your dollar with me?**
Genarick:
it’s tough doin time, get out an you doin fine
then when you get money, you realize you in a line
feels like he lost his place, lookin for where the scene’s at
cus all he wants is the prestige and the green-backs
scrounging for money
he was big ballin back in the day, now the whole town thinks its funny
but he ain full of sh** , sellin brown to dummies
shwag saying it’s sweet like a bag of gummies
he got a reputation, and everybody saw him fall
does he stay down and out? No not at all
it ain about, how, hard, he, can, hit,
it’s about, how, hard, he can get, hit, dip sh**
never quit, doin better sh** , racin for the cash
pedal to the metal, hopes up, bracing for the crash
feel me?, you pickin up what I'm puttin down?
I feel crooked, cus I took it, where I swore I'd never take it now, but"
**Chorus: I need a dollar, dollar, dollar that's what I need
I need a dollar dollar, dollar that's what I need
I NEED a dollar, dollar, dollar, that's what I need
and If i share with you my story, would you share your dollar with me?**
