Enkay47 – Nickel Lyrics

Artist: Enkay47
Song: Nickel

If I had a nickel, for every time that somebody told me
I should find a new career, I’d be rich as f#ck
If I had a nickel, for every time that somebody told me
I should prob’ly give this up, I’d be rich as f#ck

I think it started when I was back in the seventh grade
Near December break, my teacher said I should medicate
Wait, let me demonstrate
Hey, just a second, Nate

‘Kay, if you want, I can get you in special ed, today
Great, that really sounds like a plan
Then she hands me a helmet, a piece of paper, and crayons
You can’t that sh#t!

Sorry, I’m just telling a story, just trying not to be boring
If it’s offensive, ignore me, it’s simple
Overdraft fees, have become a business expense
I hope that I can eat, so every week, I sit in suspense

I’m a musician, I do this sh#t for commission
The only way, that I can eat, is if you believe in my mission, so
If I had a nickel, for every time that somebody told me
I should prob’ly give this up, I’d be rich as f#ck

If I had a nickel, for every time that somebody told me
I should work with Kufis, well, I’ma switch this up
Well, if I had a nickel, for every rhyme that I’ve written
Then I’d prob’ly have a shitload of change, stacked to the ceiling, wow

And if I had a nickel, for every crime I committed
Then I’d prob’ly be the richest emcee, with a life sentence, ow
My thoughts are so vivid and dark, I need night vision, yeah
Like writing raps, in the pitch black, with no light switches, yeah

Or drivin’ down a dead-end, and I’m playin’ chicken
Got me screamin’, “God Damn!”, like God just might listen
See, my mom was raised Muslim, my dad was slight Christian
So, imagine growin’ up as a child was quite different

I liked skippin’ school, ’cause the street was more intriguing
Not knowing the meaning of life, ’cause it’s sorta misleading
They say life is a b#tch, but sayin’, b#tch, is demeaning
b#tches are like dogs, so yeah, b#tch is the meaning

You’re reading between the lines, too much, it’s really simple
Same face, on the two dollar bill, is on the nickel
Oh-oh-oh, for every time that somebody told me
Oh-oh-oh, I should find a new career, I’d be rich as f#ck

Yuh!
Oh-oh-oh, for every time that somebody told me
Oh-oh-oh, I should prob’ly give this up, I’d be rich as f#ck
Lemme tell you what I’ve learned through life

Lesson one, no one cares, unless you’ve earned your stripes
Lesson two, no one really gives a f#ck about you
Outside, immediate family, close friends, it’s true
Lesson three, never give up on what you feel is your dream

I’m sounding a bit cliche, but f#ck, you gotta belive
You got a negative thought, just kill it off, and repeat
Success is a state of mind, you’re either strong, or you’re weak
Nice, heads, I got what I wanted

I put the nickel in my pocket, ’cause I needed the money
Not greedy, or nothin’, is not like I been stealing, or something
Repeatedly bluffing, on myself
I think I’m becoming a slave to the money
