Prosper Chords & Lyrics - Dave East

[INTRO]
[Ebm]
[Abm]I need everything I came for
Joe Joe got 'em again
[B]And some
[Ebm]Prosper
I'm tryna live prosper
[Abm]Prosper
I'm tryna l[B]ive
I'm just tryna live

[VERSE 1]
[Ebm]I just pray that I'm livin' prosperous
Comin' from conditions that's moderate to accomplishin'
[Abm]Each goal I ever set, that check off my bucket list
Know w[B]ho you fuckin' with, you can't suck it baby just swallow it
[Ebm]Prosper, "P" for the pussy been gettin' thrown at me
"R" for the Rollie that Nas got me, the sky dweller (my nigga)
[Abm]"O" for the ounces, I drove the most to the mountains (most)
[B]"S" is for the sour, I sold to niggas in housin' (got it)
[Ebm]"P" is for that pack of that Newports that I couldn't never smoke (never)
"E" is for the easy-pass, get nervous when I pass the toll, pack a pole,
[Abm]pack a stick back on my shit
I been t[B]hrough the worst, it don't matter shit got me rich
[Ebm]Story I could tell, I could still remember the smell
Of my cell, thought I was in hell, hit mama for mail
[Abm]I had CO's that I wanted to hurt, I'm spe[B]edin' fast, I just wanna reverse
Get some fame behind your [Ebm]name and they gon' come at you worse
I've seen friends go to the essence, they left blood on my shirt
And I can't never get them st[Abm]ains out
Try and understand what this pain 'bout
[B]Half deaf in my left ear from them shots that done rang out
[Ebm]I'm tryna own property, put my daughter through private school
Fiends was our neighbors, then mama told us, we gotta move
[Abm]I thought I knew it all, couldn't pay me to follow rules
[B]Almost lost my life for some Prada shoes, you gotta choose

[CHORUS]
[Ebm]Is dying worth everything you done lived for?
Ran out of Arm & Hammer, get more, was piss poor
[Abm]I can't even add up all the clothing stores we ripped off
[B]I gotta get fresh, it was so hard to get them zips off
[Ebm]I smoke alot, see a opp, spot 'em like a polka dot
Always in the gutter like I bowl alot
Open up the R[Abm]over top, blow up fifty bag to the heavens
Kept a m[B]ask plus a weapon, I ain't know if I was gon' blow or not

[VERSE 2]
[Ebm]I never knew 'bout no fame or no movement (never)
Now I'm recruitin' lieutenants, my women friends they was in there boostin'
[Abm]She must of loved me, she put this onion up in the coochie
[B]Played games, my youngest one fades and not the one on Boosie
[Ebm]Heavenly scented, the Dodger was rented
Tryna prosper by any means, I'm Malcolm in a Detroit fitted
[Abm]I got the scars from my life of war
I love the [B]rap, but I don't like the talk
I get excited if the w[Ebm]hite is soft (powder)
I push the Porsche until the pipes exhaust
Ain't got no felonies, get a license for it
So many th[Abm]oughts got me thinkin' like, "Shit, I might rec[B]ord this"
The couch was leather, the floor was cold and the phone was cordless
[Ebm]Talkin' my mother crib, ounces in my dresser
The cash in my Timberland box, keep all that extras
[Abm]The one they loved the most, kidnap 'em, they'll get the message
[B]Stay down 'til you come up, you'll get your blessings

[CHORUS]
[Ebm]Is dying worth everything you done lived for?
Ran out of Arm & Hammer, get more, was piss poor
[Abm]I can't even add up all the clothing stores we ripped off
[B]I gotta get fresh, it was so hard to get them zips off
[Ebm]I smoke alot, see a opp, spot 'em like a polka dot
Always in the gutter like I bowl alot
Open up the R[Abm]over top, blow up fifty bag to the heavens
Kept a m[B]ask plus a weapon, I ain't know if I was gon' blow or not

[OUTRO]
[Ebm]Yeah, yeah
It's the kid with the glow, I get it and go
Say I talk fast, you just listenin' [Abm]slow
Prosper
You know, get what you gotta get while you here man
[B]Do what you do, like you're doing it for [Ebm]TV or
You know, whatever you're doing it for man, lotta money to be made,
make sure you m[Abm]ake it
Don't waste no more time, t[B]ime tickin'
[Ebm]I can't even see what time it is on the Philipe, but you know
Catch [Abm]up, what you want, the money or the res[B]pect?
Pick o[Ebm]ne
Prosper [Abm]
[B]Joe Joe got 'em again
