Spilled Milk - Substantial

Man it’s hard when you see more bills than checks

That’s why I push an XB for wheels, no Lex

While I write day and night just to deal with stress

Walk these DMV streets like I’m still the best

Even though I got an overdrawn account waiting on collb money

Frontin ass promoters refusing to ask for me

State trooper tailing me, creeping in back of me

Traffic violation they call in the calvary

Shit ain’t adding up and you don’t need a math degree

I’m here laughing at shit that really ain’t that funny

But eh man, life ain’t perfect

Made something of myself with next to nothing to work with

And found my purpose, while looking for answers

Wife looking for purses, baby looking for pampers

Got me looking for paper to feed our needs and our wants

So a slice won’t due, when you’re in need of a chunk

Of the proverbial pie, so when shit try to halt

This descendant of go-getters ‘bout to get some results

So those pennies for thoughts can add up when you get on your grind

Especially when you got a lot of shit on your mind, I’m saying…

HOOK

It’s no use crying over spilled milk (Yeah!)

Big deal if you fall you can still help (Yeah!)

Son I’ma stick to laughing to keep from crying (Yeah!)

I’ma stick to living to keep from dying (Yeah!)

No time for quitting I keep climbing (Yeah!)

In my darkest hour I keep shining (Yeah!)

Even when sunset he keep rising (Yeah!)

Pick myself up shake it off and keep grinding (Yeah!)

Til I take these coals and make diamonds (Yeah!)

Always make the best of the situation that I’m in!

(Yeah!)

Fuck a plan B if plan A is win, you can quote me God

With the mic, stage, or pen… I am going hard

While my friends took a break, I was taking chances

Labels feeling the kid, now and try to take advantage

Every other week of the month I’m like damn this

Starving and bamas is trying to feed me canned shit

I know I’m hungry, okay more like famished

But I done seen things that’ll make a grown man cringe

But I still will heal with no bandage

Found away to still paint pictures with no canvas

But I’ma manage cause challenge I’m use to

Got every single reason to fail… I refuse to

With little promo, no investments, and skeptics

Can make this road to success shit hectic

The way I’m barely eating man I should be anorexic

Everything’s backwards, I ain’t even dyslexic

Check it, I’ve tried what other people suggested

But being anything other than me’s out of the question

Found a way to win when others didn’t expect it

Underdog champ of the decade, respect it!

(Yeah!)
