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 |
