Black Milk - What It's Worth Lyrics






Try to find what you can get
But all they dish you up is shit
(Stop talking shit)
Look around, we're folding Earth
Try to find out what it's worth
What it's worth, worth
What it's, what it's worth

Honestly, gotta ask myself
Time and time what I'm working for
Is it worth it, though?
Look at fam realize what I'm working towards
Keep they pockets filled with stacks
Gotta keep food up in they fridge
Keep my moms up out of that trap
Keep my bro up out of that pen
Never had a land in hand, always had to play my part
Play it smart
Artist about his craft
But sometimes survival is bigger than art
Yo, this life is bigger than me, feel weighed down by a hundred boulders
Got family on my hands, crown on my head, city on top of my shoulders
Fuck what these niggas say, fuck what these niggas think
It ain't worth the time
When you got fans with they hands in the air
Making sure you don't gotta work a regular job on a regular
You got niggas tryna live they dream
But you got niggas that live the reality, not tryna live above they means
This what, this kinda life I dream
Two shots to the head, two shots till we dead
Just what this kind of life might bring
That's what this kinda night might mean
You clock in or be glocked in, OGs here, no stopping
As long as breath's in my lungs waving white flags ain't never the option

Try to find what you can get
But all they dish you up is shit
(Stop talking shit)
Look around, we're folding Earth
Try to find out what it's worth
What it's worth, worth
What it's, what it's worth

I see I'm talking and debating about my rating
If I only had one fan rating me high I could never feel underrated
So I hear too many questions about
Why you not working, when the latest out
Never was one to go to another one just to feel validated 'bout
Shit I'm doing, all around the world
Tryina give 'em what they asking for
Yeah, I'm good from the borough all the way to Euro
Hood pass with a passport
Hit a toenail, go back to the Mo
But it sound like we're raised around criminals just to hear shots outside of the door
Give a fuck less about shots and subliminals
So so so so
Let it breathe, let it doze
Me and my niggas had dreams, cashing checks with seven Os
PA, Westside, hop in the truck like let's ride
Mom's looking at the time, hoping that her oldest son make it back inside
And I did that, live by a code, live for tomorrow
Walk down streets where empty hollows stray, sidewalks where broken bottles lay
I did that, went from boom-bap in the day, go rap round the neck
Double track and the deck, lay it back on cassette
Yeah, yeah, they lived that

Try to find what you can get
But all they dish you up is shit
(Stop talking shit)
Look around, we're folding Earth
Try to find out what it's worth
What it's worth, worth
What it's, what it's worth

    y.... m....

    +Khafre Sims Bey Yeah it's hard to find artists who actually make good beats anymore that don't sound like pop, dubstep, or trap music. And who can also rap.

  44. C.... ....

    Reverse-Reverse! >:D

  45. R.... ....

    Same ol story, the ones that ain't signed are always the one with the hottest shit. Smh

  46. J.... z....

  47. R.... S....

    For more real hip-hop like this check out the199Q.com 
    They got some gems in their music section fam. 

  48. D.... N....

    Album is fire!

  49. M.... F....

    Dopeness!

  50. T.... ....

    Dat bassline

  51. D.... S....

    My Man of My Life <3

  52. H.... ....

    That's is Awesome man!
    Greetings from Brazil!!!

  53. D.... S....

    This is his best song. I have never heard such an honest confession in music like this since Tupac. No self-indulging bullshit like most of the rest of hip-hop, mainstream at least. Just a guy telling his story. 

  54. c.... ....

    Sick sick sick. Love the concept of the video aswell. Beat and lyrics on point.. Nice one man! 

  55. S.... ....

    I don't see what's wrong with keeping it simple sometimes! I can feel his presence just from the way he carries himself in the video. If you listen to the lyrics it kinda makes sense that he's sitting there by himself reflecting on these issues and thinking out loud too. I respect the direction he took with the video, even though it may seem low budget to some people. I feel that it fits the track well.

    S.... ....

    I agree, it suits the main message of the song

    S.... ....

    *Applaud this man*

    S.... ....

    ikr, if there is no gangsta shit on the screen, these guys call a video boring

  56. w.... r....

    The album is genius

  57. A.... S....

    I love this song and album and artist but what's with this boring-ass video?

    A.... S....

    Agreed. I feel like it's just for some attention, for him to say "hey I have a music video under my belt"

    A.... S....

    I listen to music with my ears not eyes

    A.... S....

    @Wallace Gainey The music industry would be a better place if it consisted of more people like you.

  58. L.... L....

    "Keep my mama up out that trap and my brother up out the pen". #talkaboutit good song! Tell em they don't know!

  59. S.... ....

    Someone please tell me where the vocal sample is from.

  60. A.... A....

    Been listening to Black Milk for a long time and he's never dissapointed...actually the very day I declared that I was fed up with mainstream rap(7 years ago), a friend of mine told me to look up Black Milk, and from there I found my love for underground music...Thanks Black Milk for being my "gateway" to underground hip hop

    A.... A....

    IT IS FIRE!!! HAVE U HEARD IT BY NOW???

    A.... A....

    +cette fille LB has been my favorite group since 05! 9th wonder one of the most underrated producers in the game, as goes for phonte as a rapper

    A.... A....

    @Brian Tomer what's your favorite album by them

    A.... A....

    +cette fille probably the listening cuz that's what got me into them. But they're all really dope, hard to choose

    A.... A....

    Anthony Adams The underground is where its at.
