[Intro] Grandma told me "Baby, learn the game early" (uh) If they pour your plate for you They can clear it too [Verse 1] Used to chase quick flips Blew it on some quick kicks Scrollin' through them highlights Tryna live that slick pic Then my brother called, said "Dog, you thinkin' small" "How you got designer on But you don't own the wall?" Opened up a book then Started with a small share Tiny little slice now Kids gon' own the whole chair Lawn full of cousins I can see 'em all there Laughin' in the shade Of the trees that we prepared (yeah) [Chorus] If you allow them to feed you You allow them to starve you So I'm buyin' up the seeds now Teach my people how to garden Long term plays Generational freedom I don't pray for a plate I just pray that we keep it If you allow them to feed you You allow them to starve you So I'm buyin' up the seeds now Turn my hustle into harvest [Verse 2] Cash flow over flash now Quiet money, background Duplex on the east side Let my nephew run that route Trust in the paperwork More than I trust a word 'Cause vultures in a polo shirt Look the same as in the dirt Auntie in the guest room Daddy in a paid crib Mama got her meds right We ain't beggin' state lists Every time I sign line I can hear that phrase hit "If they feed you, boy They can take away your whole dish" (for real) [Chorus] If you allow them to feed you You allow them to starve you So I'm buyin' up the seeds now Teach my people how to garden Long term plays Generational freedom I don't pray for a plate I just pray that we keep it If you allow them to feed you You allow them to starve you So I'm buyin' up the seeds now Turn my hustle into harvest [Bridge] I can't let my son Ask a stranger for his sunrise (nah) Or my little girl Need permission just to feel fine I'd rather take that slow climb Stackin' in the meantime Every brick I lay now That’s a branch on our free line (yeah, yeah) [Chorus] If you allow them to feed you You allow them to starve you So I'm buyin' up the seeds now Teach my people how to garden Long term plays Generational freedom I don't pray for a plate I just pray that we keep it If you allow them to feed you You allow them to starve you So I'm buyin' up the seeds now Turn my hustle into harvest (harvest) Turn my hustle into harvest (yeah)
