  • Can't call it, can't call it
    I never came from deep pockets
    Why can't I make a deposit?
    Can't call it, uh, can't call it
    Yeah, can't call it, I can't call it
    I never came from deep pockets
    Why can't I make a deposit?
    Can't call it, yeah, I can't call it

    Oh, I had so many days of crying
    Oh, I had so many days of pain
    Have you ever been as sad as I am?
    Lord, I ask if anything would change?
    I can see the future that we're heading
    I would say it's better not to tell
    If it's anything like this in Heaven
    Maybe I'd be better off in Hell
    (Better off in hell)

    Tables do turn and labels do burn, the second they ask you to sell your soul
    Don't you do it, don't you fold, say "Fuck that shit" and be bold
    'Cause all them stories you told on records worth more than gold
    And if you never go gold again, at least you will know
    The end of your rope was chose by you and not companies
    Who control our remote control and hide the truth on my no
    But don't mind me, I'm just high again, smokin' weed to get by again
    No, actually I'm lyin' 'cause smokin' it got me smilin'
    Rhyming like I rhyme, way back when I would play the violin
    Thought that shit wasn't cool, momma sorry, I just stopped tryin' it
    Paid for your house in hopes there'd be no more reason for cryin'
    That shows you how stupid I am, 'cause niggas is out here dying
    From police that flash the siren and pull up and just start firin'
    Niggas murkin' each other, in murky water I try and swim
    How the fuck do I look when I brag to you about some diamond?
    Said all I could say, now I play with thoughts of retirement

    Oh, I had so many days of crying
    Oh, I had so many days of pain
    Have you ever been as sad as I am?
    Lord, I ask if anything would change?
    I can see the future that we're heading
    I would say it's better off not to tell
    If it's anything like this in Heaven
    Maybe I'd be better off in Hell
    (Better off in hell)

    Can't call it, can't call it
    I never came from deep pockets
    Why can't I make a deposit?
    Can't call it, uh, can't call it
    Yeah, can't call it, I can't call it
    I never came from deep pockets
    Why can't I make a deposit?
    Can't call it, yeah, I can't call it Writer/s: Eian Undrai Parker, Gian Piero Piccioni, Jermaine L. Cole, Justin Bryant, Olu O. Fann
