When the money goes Will you stick around? I might never know I be gettin' high, dealin' with the lows Even with the pain, never sell my soul (yeah) When the money's gone You can see the snakes when the grass low All eyes peeled on that back door Woah, we might never know What goes up must come down 'Til we come back around Will my feet touch the ground? Pray we never know (oh-oh) Pray we never know (oh-oh) Pray we never know (oh-oh) Pray we never know (oh-oh) Pray we never know What goes up, comes down, ask around 'Til the fat lady sings, that's the sound Everything fake, but her soul natural We used to get high, but you high fashion now I see your new nigga think he high profile A ball player, but the way you did me so foul But I still get giddy inside from your smile Maybe you can fuck with a nigga, it's been a while And I can still see that ass from a mile away To be specific, I'd hit it in the Palisades Savin' up all the funds I used to allocate Then I'd send the Cash App to make you celebrate And I can still see that ass from a mile away I can still see that ass from a mile away Hate the way your sister act, oh, happy day Birdman hand rub, let you fly away Whoa, when the money goes Will you stick around? I might never know I be gettin' high, dealin' with the lows Even with the pain, never sell my soul Whoa (yeah), when the money's gone You can see the snakes when the grass low All eyes peeled on that back door Whoa, we might never know What goes up must come down 'Til we come back around Will my feet touch the ground?

I might never know I be gettin' high, dealin' with the lows Even with the pain, never sell my soul Whoa, when the money's gone You can see the snakes when the grass low All eyes peeled on that back door Whoa, we might never know What goes up must come down 'Til we come back around Will my feet touch the ground?
