Never owned a gold chain Never seen a diamond ring Never worn a pair of Jordans Now things are about to change Living in a matchbox Playing on the blacktop Sweating in the summer got me looking like a ham hock Never owned a gold chain Never seen a diamond ring Never worn a pair of Jordans Now things are about to change Living in a matchbox Playing on the blacktop Sweating in the summer got me looking like a ham hock Staying pressed for cash, never been the one to brag Yeah we had a nice pad, grass in the front and back Neither rich nor poor but we waited to buy that Kept my head up cuz ain't nothing but dirt that laid on my path Now, don't think that I grew up with nothing always in my hand Both my parents worked hard to give the fam a life of a hundred grand 7 days a week, 365 days a year Working hard every single waking hour, not even time for beer Dad always coming home at 12AM to a quiet house Tip-toeing to the bedroom knowing he'd be up in hours Yawning himself to sleep, hoping that he won't be woke by cowards Breaking into his store for a score of alcohol and Camels Praying to the Lord for a saving grace, faith held in it's place To better the lives of their kids having no fear to stand and face The trying limits of the American Dream when it is swinging So every single day was another breathe of conscious living Never owned a gold chain Never seen a diamond ring Never worn a pair of Jordans Now things are about to change Living in a matchbox Playing on the blacktop Sweating in the summer got me looking like a ham hock What's the worth of gold chains What's the worth of diamond rings What's the worth of Jordans Now things haven't even really changed Living in a matchbox Playing on the blacktop Sweating in the summer got me looking like a ham hock Beef is on the grill, Summer evenings in the ville That was time for us to catch up, we mustered up how we feel Momma working on the bills, daddy cashing up the till Kids only yelling for more, that was just part of the deal Take your child to work day was the best when I was YE years old Eating candy and chips, even learned about how cash flows Insisted on helping but I was given the shoulder, cold Customers in and out, regulars would stay until we closed My eyes were not open until the day I saw it face to face I got to see addiction first hand like when Blue asked me to break Open the door so that he could purchase at a discounted rate But I knew better so I just told him to get in line and wait Now it's time to give it back, close your eyes and just relax No more working until you feel it inside your neck and back All the things you did for me, you will get back ten-fold from me Thank you for pushing me to be the best person I could be What's the worth of gold chains What's the worth of diamond rings What's the worth of Jordans Now things haven't even really changed Living in a matchbox Playing on the blacktop Sweating in the summer got me looking like a ham hock What's the worth of gold chains What's the worth of diamond rings What's the worth of Jordans Now things haven't even really changed Living in a matchbox Playing on the blacktop Sweating in the summer got me looking like a ham hock
