I guess I bit off more than I could chew And nobody told me, nobody told me Had it all and never knew Cause nobody told me Nobody told me money don't make you rich And if it did, I'm missing something Nobody told me you can lose when you win And if they did, I'd still be missing Who knew that this much success Would make it so hard for fans to accept The fact that I can't go back where I left And backtrack my steps, backtrack my steps The records I dropped so massive, so large It makes it hard for hip-hop to digest The things that I do, I guess If it's true, well *** it A nigga too good to be the best Too good to be the best, too good to be stressed Cause this the type of life too good to regret You know money don't buy you no respect No, no respect, no, no respect, yeah So what the hell is that? Tryna recreate the past that I never had But smash girls I can never smash And live fantasies that'll never last I guess I bit off more than I could chew And nobody told me, nobody told me Had it all and never knew Cause nobody told me, nobody told me Money don't make you rich And if it did, I'm missing something Nobody told me you can lose when you win And if they did, I'd still be missing I ran away from home just to try to make a million Just to try to make a million And when you get a million, it's a different type of feeling When you look around and what you really need is missing It's like, it's like suffering from a sickness But can't find a doctor to fill out the prescription Or diagnose the illness Can't read it in the book, can't buy it from a dealer And I find that ironic, yeah I find that ironic how I can buy anything that I ever wanted But I really had it all when I ain't have nothing They always said more money, more problems I guess I, I guess I should've listened to the warning I guess I, I guess I should anticipate my storming weather I guess I'll illustrate a different story However, well if it's clever I couldn't find the words to say it better I'm knee deep within these endeavors But all that glitters with gold is not treasure I'm ready for whatever, I never let up I work even better when I'm under pressure They say money don't make you rich Cause you can't buy *** that can make you better Word Nobody told me money don't make you rich And if it did, I'm missing something Nobody told me you can lose when you win And if they did, I'd still be missing I guess I bit off more than I could chew And nobody told me, nobody told me Had it all and never knew Cause nobody told me
