Lyrics All Good Things - K Rino

All Good Things

All money ain’t good money but when you got it be smart
Somebody said a fool and his money are destined to part
Two cats started out with no paper, came up with a scheme
Hit the streets and started hustling and stacking up green
They gained power and respect in only two quick years
Accumulated strong connections, the streets was theirs
Stayed focused on the business side, respected the hustle
One represented the brains, the other one was the muscle
But bad moves put the whole operation in danger
Bringing women in the mix and doing business with strangers
And guess who it was slipping and supposed to be brains
Violating some of the major principles of the game
His homeboy tried to tell him that he was gettin' too wild
Showboating and getting addicted to that fast lifestyle
Rule one: when you put in work, never discuss it
Got infiltrated by a female undercover and busted
No matter what you try to do, no matter what you say
Whether people or materials, nothing can stay
In due time, every situation fades away
Understand that all good things will end one day
No matter what you try to do, no matter what you say
Whether people or material, nothing can stay
In due time, every situation fades away
Understand all good things will end one day
Second case…
Been with your man for a year now and you think he the one
Living together five months, even accepted his son
He was working when you met him, doing good with his life
And you could picture being introduced to folks as his wife
But then a side of him you never seen started to show
You found yourself teaching him things a man should already know
He lost his job and started falling off but she didn’t clown
He laid around the house but she steady was holding it down
Now y’all relationship is cursed, you was glad at first
Hoping he’d changed back but things going from bad to worse
Don’t wanna leave him ‘cause you love him and you’re comfortable with him
But every other week you gots to call the laws to come get him
Now when she finally let him go, mentally she was done
Judging every man she meet now off the actions of one
Baby, refocus and be patient and God’ll reveal one
View the time you spent with him as preparation for your real one
No matter what you try to do, no matter what you say
Whether people or materials, nothing can stay
In due time, every situation fades away
Understand that all good things will end one day
No matter what you try to do, no matter what you say
Whether people or material, nothing can stay
In due time, every situation fades away
Understand all good things will end one day
Third case…
Mama was down from day one, a real queen on the throne
Gave you life and raised you up until the day you was grown
And even then if you was struggling, she gave you a hand
Instilled every quality in you that made you a man
She was your nurse, your counselor, lifted you when you was down
Even managed to make you hard when daddy wasn’t around
Yeah she spoiled you a little bit but never spared the rod
And was the first one to ever introduce you to God
You didn’t understand that life was too deep to sleep
The most important people in our life we play ‘em for cheap
Until one day, you looked around and mama was gone
And that safety net no longer there to fall back on
You never thought about tomorrow, you just looked at today
Ungrateful for God’s gift, so he took it away
And it was good while it lasted through your life’s endeavor
Whether people, love or money, nothing lasts forever
No matter what you try to do, no matter what you say
Whether people or materials, nothing can stay
In due time, every situation fades away
Understand that all good things will end one day
No matter what you try to do, no matter what you say
Whether people or material, nothing can stay
In due time, every situation fades away
Understand all good things will end one day
