Money Matters |
| Ayo, your world, my world, same shit, different day |
| Different shit, same toilet, paper gotta circulate |
| Just to keep the water flushing, stove hot, fridge cold |
| Cabinets full, clothes clean, quarters for the wash and fold |
| Kids grow bigger so the gear grow, tight and old |
| Inflation triggers so the prices grow |
| Go figure, bills like Williams and your will’s like debt |
| That lives longer than you, collectors never forget |
| And you set assets so your child’s regrets |
| Diamonds begets, get, got before closure threats |
| These are grown folks fears swinging over your head |
| Better that than the water you continue to tread |
| And a job you continue to dread |
| Better yet they say |
| ''Love your work and never work a day in your life'' |
| They say «be your own boss and you doing it right» |
| I say «shit, whatever gets you through it at night» |
| Because doctors, dealers, even MCs |
| Ponder on all life’s complexities |
| But can’t see the forest for the evergreen trees |
| So they collect leaves, but when collects leave |
| Doctors, dealers, even MCs |
| Roll up their sleeves and put in work |
| You gotta hold on tight just to climb that ladder |
| With your mind on your money and money, money matters |
| Money matters, money matters |
| Yeah, money matters, but it’s mind over matter |
| So I’mma live forever now, how about you? |
| Yeah, wanna live better now, fuck a Coogi sweater now |
| Gotta save your cheddar now |
| Money, cash, bread, dough rise like geese |
| Whether you fast or feast |
| Whoever save the most need least and vice versa |
| How you putting things over self and health? |
| You got no time on your watch, no money in your purse |
| Put your cash down, son, I’m talking 'bout wealth money |
| Grip or you working for yours, well, get it in |
| Let it do what it do cause we ain’t finna win |
| Unless the money work for you |
| And please know that old money bitch-slap new |
| Like the gold that you used to |
| Be backed by, now the weed that fly |
| My people mining mind on the gold, but their gold ain’t mines |
| So I’mma say «nice try, better luck next time» |
| You want a long dollar then maybe just invest that dime |
| So a lemon to a lime, a lime to a lemon |
| You fucking with my money I’mma turn into a gremlin |
| A lime to a lemon, a lemon to a lime |
| Same way that time is money, money is time |
| I said a lemon to a lime, a lime to a lemon |
| When you wasting your money that’s the start of your ending |
| A lime to a lemon, a lemon to a lime |
| Same way that time is money, money is time |
| And you can turn bread to fish or water to wine |
| But can’t turn back the sundial from ten to nine |
| You can throw on a throwback and press rewind |
| But it’ll never be the same sunshine |
| Looking up long enough you might just go blind |
| These are not just rhymes |
| These are facts, I don’t just throw pine |
| But if your past keep you from presently planning for the future |
| You’re a pawn that’ll never see the eight ring line |
| I’m trying to raise two queens and protect the king |
| Since a rook like Bishop I’ve been doing my thing |
| Every night and I know every game ceases |
| I’d rather be the hand that moves the pieces |
