Z-Ro - Platinum lyrics

Bout time, they opened up the do' for Z-Ro
Cause, I've been dropping hit's
Since ten years ago
Trying to do it legal, and not slang yayo
If I can't get it legal, to the corner I go
I never took pride, in slanging cocaine
Never could get a job
But needed some mo' change
Cd's wasn't selling, because I had no name
Nothing but a t-shirt, no piece no chain
Too many times, I was ready to give up
Run up in a bank, and say this is a stick-up
Put my pain on records
And record sales picked up
The tears I done shed
Led me to the big bucks
2000 and 4, I ain't broke no mo'
Cause God is my life jacket, when I sink solo
I went to a hundred thousand
From a whole fo' so all you haters hate me
As I make a little mo'

I'm going platinum this time
(This time-this time)
I think you fellas, better respect my mind
(Mind-mind) i'm here to collect my pennies
My nickels and my dimes (My dimes-my dimes)
And ain't nobody gonna block out my shine
(Shine-shine)

They got me living in a '56 man cell
My locker full of commissary, and my fan mail
My celly saying Z-Ro
What you gon' do when you get out of jail?
I can't do no mo' pyrexes, no mo' scales
Trying to make a million dollas
Off my melody couldn't see it coming
So I caught a state-jail felony
F-1 bunk twelve, there resides the stars
Special thanks to love
Cause "I Hate U Bitch" climbed me
To the top of the charts
Being free, is like being on lock
Niggas still kick it with ya
But try to get some of what ya got
I ain't never seen, so many feminine men
Swear to God they holding in the world
But ain't nobody seeing dividends
That ain't the life of me, I had to get it
Might not be rich in the present
But I'ma be rich in a minute
Cause, I got three Cuzos sitting up high
Rolling 24's
Screaming ABN get in the do', waiting for Ro

I'm going platinum this time
(This time-this time)
I think you fellas, better respect my mind
(Mind-mind) i'm here to collect my pennies
My nickels and my dimes (My dimes-my dimes)
And ain't nobody gonna block out my shine
(Shine-shine)

Jealousy and envy, play a major role
Everytime a playa
Try to get his pockets swoll
Somebody said I did this, and said I did that
Even told homicide
I pushed the homie's wig back
They don't wanna see
A nigga make it out of poverty
When will they realize
God is running with me ain't no stopping me
Probably never will, so keep on trying
You can clip my wings
But, I see happiness in the sky
So I'ma keep on flying
Until I find, a rested place
So many battle scars
Blood on my chest and face
Whether I'm working or rapping 24
7, me and Satan be scrapping
He want my soul
But I ain't gon let it happen
Even if I lose my life
Trying to chase my dream whoever do me
Gon have hell when they face my team
I got them same three Cuzos holding me down
If I ain't coming back
Bet they bury me with g-stacks
Plus a platinum plack

I'm going platinum this time
(This time-this time)
I think you fellas, better respect my mind
(Mind-mind) i'm here to collect my pennies
My nickels and my dimes (My dimes-my dimes)
And ain't nobody gonna block out my shine
(Shine-shine)

I'm going platinum this time
(This time-this time)
I think you fellas, better respect my mind
(Mind-mind) i'm here to collect my pennies
My nickels and my dimes (My dimes-my dimes)
And ain't nobody gonna block out my shine
(Shine-shine)
