Make The Money |
Now, this is my job, I will not quit it |
Pulled me out the depths when I thought that I was finished |
Yeah I questioned if I could go the distance |
That’s just the work, regardless of who’s listening, listening |
Listen, see I was meant to be a warrior |
Fight something amongst me, leave here victorious |
Classroom of kids, or a venue performing |
If I’d done it for the money I’d have been a fucking lawyer |
Concrete, vagabond, van telling stories |
Humbled by the road, I’m realizing I’m not important |
See life’s a beautiful struggle, I record it |
Hope it helps you maneuvering through yours and |
That’s why we stay in the lab at night |
I’ve been staring into this pad for over half my life |
A true artist won’t be satisfied |
So I guess that’s the sacrifice |
And I say |
Make the money, don’t let the money make you |
Change the game, don’t let the game change you |
I’ll forever remain faithful |
All my people stay true, I say |
Make the money, don’t let the money make you |
Change the game, don’t let the game change you |
I’ll forever remain faithful |
All my people stay true |
Forget about the fame, fortune and the mansion |
Sitting and tripping watching myself on a plasma |
Yeah, I start slipping when I’m thinking about that stuff |
Ego won’t swole until karma catches that up, that up |
I’m my grandma’s number one grandson |
I lost myself to remember who that was |
We start thinking about some kicks, a necklace |
What I really need is a job off CraigsList |
Take away the dot com, name, love |
Fans, Twitter followers, and the buzz |
See, you keep the issues but you take away the drugs |
And I had to find out who I really was |
Who I really wasn’t |
So sick of who I was becoming |
Yeah, tired of running |
Time to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn to love him |
Make the money, don’t let the money make you |
Change the game, don’t let the game change you |
I’ll forever remain faithful |
All my people stay true, I say |
Make the money, don’t let the money make you |
Change the game, don’t let the game change you |
I’ll forever remain faithful |
All my people stay true |
Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac |
Watch the videos and get the girls in the back |
But if that’s what I believe in, and the reason that I rap |
Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track |
Make the money, don’t let the money make you |
Change the game, don’t let the game change you |
I’ll forever remain faithful |
Stay true, stay true, and I said |
Make the money, don’t let the money make you |
Change the game, don’t let the game change you |
I’ll forever remain faithful |
Stay true, stay true, stay true |
Forget about the fame |
I said forget about the fame |
I’ll forever remain faithful |
Stay true, stay true, stay true |
