You ain't said shit if you ain't talking bout a Dollar
Walking to the check never now that's a hard pill to swallow
Still getting bitches I'm poppin my red collar
Doing what I can so I can get the family dollars
While you was talking I was walking
Ain't no pun intended
Just because I never broke
It doesn't mean I never bended
Come from humble beginnings
I remember I remember
It was colder than December
Mane I think it was December
Had to work at Family Dollar
I ain't feel like goin'
It was cold and it was snowin'
Sidewalks was still glowin'
Told my boss that I was sick but I was lying like a bitch
Thinking Family Dollar not the way that I was getting rich
Making minimum wages
24 in the making
Niggas was talking bout me and I was starting to hate it.
But ain't nobody say that
Starting off would be amazing
Ice was all on the pavement, in my mind I was debating,
But I heard a word from God so then I got up on my mob.
Grateful to go to work cause some people ain't have a job,
But I ain't even know I was goin' without a job
Because that very same night Family Dollar was getting robbed
You ain't said shit if you ain't talking bout a Dollar
Walking to the check now that's a hard pill to swallow
Still getting bitches I'm poppin my red collar
Doing what I can so I can get the family dollars
Is we staying late tonight?
Being honest nobody knows
We boutta close
10 o clock and we posed to be locking doors
Boss is by the door
But this strange nigga keep walking in
Like he ain't see that nigga
Really that's prolly the nigga friend
He trynna close the store while uglass dude still in the back
So we go to the bathroom cause we knowing that's where he at
On the way I grab sumn' cause Im knowing he prolly strapped
We go to the door
Boss on the front, I'm on the back
Boss opened the door
His hands went up with wide eyes
Now he points the gun at me
Now I'm waiting on my demise
Next thing I know we got 12's
On the scene of the crime
But as I reminisce?
I'm really just lucky to be alive
I quit the job because I knew it was something better for me
I had finished school
I was pursuing doing IT
Couple months later started getting more than I ever made
Now I can say
I know my kids kids bout to be straight
You ain't said shit if you ain't talking bout a Dollar
Walking to the check now that's a hard pill to swallow
Still getting bitches I'm poppin my red collar
Doing what I can so I can get the family dollars
