A Dollar A Day
Rise Above: Embracing Prosperity in Rakeem Miles' Anthem
Lyrics
?], mama said stop givin' all you have, you ain't got shit
Mother advises against giving away everything when you have very little yourself
I gave a dollar, gave a dollar, never received, never gave the option
Repeatedly gave without reciprocity or choice
But bless her heart, from the start, she was there, I owe her everything
Grateful for maternal support since the beginning, owes a lot to the mother
Big crib, diamond rings, this my last year of being broke
Aspiring for a wealthy lifestyle soon, leaving behind financial struggles
All applaud, all applaud, let me show you niggas how to floss
Receiving applause, ready to display wealth and success
Makin' moves, makin' plays, I'd just rather pass it off
Prefer delegating actions rather than personally executing them
And show you niggas how to do it, or I could leave 'em lost
Willing to guide others or leave them bewildered depending on choice
Okay, okay, let me leave 'em lost
Emphasizing the willingness to leave others confused or behind
This my last year of bein' broke
Reiteration of the determination to end financial struggles this year
This my last year of bein' broke
-This my last year of bein' broke
-This my last year of bein' broke
-I tend to get it off the muscle, I tend to light up in the function
Accomplishing things through hard work, enjoying parties or gatherings
Yeah, I see you niggas shook, don't ever try to overlook
Asserting confidence, warning against underestimation
I bet I be the main focus, its me and you
Confident of being the center of attention alongside another individual
Its do or die, I'll never lie, I'll never lie
Commitment to truthfulness even in difficult situations
Its my moment, I had to try, and all the time
Opportunity seized, despite doubts and the required effort over time
They done doubted, now a nigga got the reign
Having gained power or control after being underestimated
Put some food on my plate, saucy nigga with the steak
Enjoying success, living luxuriously
You done let me get comfortable, nigga feelin' like a Huxtable
Feeling comfortable and accomplished, akin to a character from a well-off family (The Huxtables from "The Cosby Show")
Gotcha niggas where I wanted you, hope you know that I'm comin' for you
Having achieved a position of advantage, issuing a warning or threat
This my last year of bein' broke
Repeated emphasis on the determination to leave behind financial hardship
This my last year of bein' broke
-This my last year of bein' broke
-This my last year of bein' broke
