[Intro]
Turn me up a lil’ bit
Yeah, just like that
Yeah, uh

[Chorus]
I be like, “Hey, what am I supposed to do?” (Supposed to do)
I’m tryna be good in a cruel world, but it play me like a fool (Like a fool)
And I could be miles and miles away from getting paid (Getting paid)
But I’m lord of my dreams, so I’m finna stay (Finna stay)
Yeah, they be like, “Hey” (Uh)
[Verse 1]
Ayo, it feel like everyone that blow
Feel they got to be Shady when they be focused on the dough
Though, I want the money, also want to keep my dignity
Be a good person, never do some s*it that isn’t me
Learned it from the greats before me
I’m just a kid tryna tell my story
And if it ain’t what you tryna hear, that’s cool (That’s cool)
‘Cause there’s a lot of people out there who do (Uh-huh)
And me? I ain’t the type to sit and write to please everybody
I’m being real with every single thing you getting from me
Life’s better funny, I’m tryna have a ball
Money, women, respect, I’m tryna have it all
Sorry, girl, I’m not returning back your calls
I’m busy on my grind, probably hit you back tomorrow
‘Cause after all, I’m just a man with a dream
Tryna figure out and understand what I see (I be like)

[Chorus]
I be like, “Hey, what am I supposed to do?” (Supposed to do)
I’m tryna be good in a cruel world, but it play me like a fool (Like a fool)
And I could be miles and miles away from getting paid (Getting paid)
But I’m lord of my dreams, so I’m finna stay (Finna stay)
Yeah, they be like, “Hey” (Uh, uh)

[Verse 2]
I been thinking ’bout the times when we was young
Before the dumb s*it that we done
So many battles that we won together
Constant race, but I feel like I could run forever
And now there’s nothing better than a bunch of cheddar (Nah)
When you tryna stack your cheese like a double decker (Right)
And me? I’m getting hot, have you sweating like a summer sweater
Grown man, on my chess s*it, boy, I’m done with checkers
‘Cause I ain’t playing around, this ain’t a sport, b!tch
Got no time to be broke, I can’t afford it
‘Cause time’s money and life’s short (Life’s short)
So hit your weed (Hit your weed), now twice more (Ha-ha)
They tell you “No” ’cause they scared what you capable of
Rather have you broke, taking some drügs
But fu*k it, do something you love
And put your trust in it
I guarantee you something good gon’ come from it

[Chorus]
I be like, “Hey, what am I supposed to do?” (Supposed to do)
I’m tryna be good in a cruel world, but it play me like a fool (Like a fool)
And I could be miles and miles away from getting paid (Getting paid)
But I’m lord of my dreams, so I’m finna stay (Finna stay)
Yeah, they be like, “Hey”
I be like, “Hey, what am I supposed to do?” (Supposed to do)
I’m tryna be good in a cruel world, but it play me like a fool (Like a fool)
And I could be miles and miles away from getting paid (Getting paid)
But I’m lord of my dreams, so I’m finna stay (Finna stay)
Yeah, they be like, “Hey”
