[Hook: B.o.B]

I guess I bit off more than I could chew

And nobody told me, nobody told me

Had it all and never knew

Cuz nobody told me

[Chorus: B.o.B]

Nobody told me money don't make you rich

And if it did, I'm missing something

Nobody told me you can lose when you win

And if they did, I'd still be missing

[Verse 1: B.o.B]

Who knew that this much success will make it so hard

For fans to accept the fact that I can't go back where I left

And back track my steps, back track my steps

The records I dropped, so massive, so large

It makes it hard for hip-hop to digest

The things that I do, I guess if it's true

Well **** it, a nigga too good to be the best

Too good to be the best, too good to be stressed

Cuz this the type of life, too good to regret

You know money don't buy you no respect

Nigga no respect, nigga no respect yea

So what the hell is that?

I'm tryna recreate the past that I never had

And smash girls I could never smash

And live fantasies that'll never last

[Hook & Chorus: B.o.B]

[Verse 2: B.o.B]

I ran away from home just to try to make a million

Yea, just to try to make a million

And when you get a million it's a different type of feeling

When you look around and what you really need is missing

It's like, it's like I'm suffering from a sickness

And can't find a doctor to fill out the prescription

Or diagnose the illness

Can't leave it in the book, can't buy from the dealer

And I find that ironic

Yeah, I find that ironic

How I can buy anything that I ever wanted

But I really had it all when I ain't have nothing

They always say that mo money, mo problems

I guess I, I guess I should've listened to the warning

I guess I, I guess I should anticipate the stormy weather

I guess I'd illustrate it if it's good but however

Well if it's clever

I couldn't find the words to say it better

I'm knee-deep within these endeavors

But all that glitters with gold is not treasure

I'm ready for whatever, I never let er

I work even better when I'm under pressure

They say money don't make you rich

Cuz you can't buy shit that can make you better, word

[Hook & Chorus: B.o.B]
