| Mr. Voodoo: Yo, yo, what up? |

|
| A-Butta: That’s right
|
| L-Swift: Yeah
|
| A-Butta: Yo, Voo, let ‘em know
|
| In this world
|
| Of wars, famines, and floods, whores, gambling, drugs
|
| Cross-examine the slugs caused from the cannons of thugs
|
| Forced the planets to budge. |
| Ain’t no more family love
|
| Cream’s thicker than family blood, making families bugged. |
| Dollar’s
|
| Deity. |
| For the papers with pyramids, eagles with arrows
|
| And branches and leaves, my thought dances with thieves
|
| Sick capitalistic dreams, my mind’s a machine that’s capital-
|
| -driven for the cream, I clap it on living. |
| I need
|
| The mints on paper print so my life is set (What you mean?), the mints on
|
| Paper print for vipers and jets, tigers for pets. |
| Watch style
|
| And set loot for wifey to keep her wig perm. |
| Play with
|
| My loot, I’ll react like Big Worm, funny emotions
|
| Agu be ‘bout money and motions, steal and rob
|
| Motions if there ain’t no job openings. |
| Yeah, I’m
|
| In it for the love of rocking raps, but ‘til we’re living
|
| As kings, it’s Glocks and faces covered with stocking caps
|
| Dollar
|
| Is deity—look around the world, you’ll see. |
| If it’s
|
| A crime to make money and moves and live free
|
| Agu. |
| (Yo). |
| What do you plea? |
| (Guilty ‘cause ain’t)
|
| (Nothing really changed for me), and it still goes:
|
| —why?—
|
| I still be
|
| Fiending for the key to success. |
| If I don’t get it, forget it
|
| Give me the keys to a Lex. |
| Dealing with stress
|
| Through my lifetime. |
| Yep, I need dough and respect, so when I
|
| Write rhymes, I collect both with a check. |
| The Devil
|
| Smirks deviously, scheming like he posing a threat
|
| But life’s a game, and I’m controlling the deck. |
| The older
|
| We get, the wiser—supposedly so. |
| I’m inspired
|
| By the messiah and the road that he chose ‘cause, oh
|
| There’s so many foes in my way between me and my goals
|
| For self-improvement, bugged in movements, proofed-up
|
| When I do my music, I can’t help but lose it
|
| And sing along to this money and move shit
|
| Dollar
|
| Is deity—look around the world, you’ll see. |
| If it’s
|
| A crime to make money and moves and live free
|
| A-Butta. |
| (What?) What do you plea? |
| (Guilty ‘cause ain’t)
|
| (Nothing really changed for me, and it still goes:)
|
| —(why?) —
|
| Yo, when I’m broke
|
| Feel like the world is falling down on me—that's why
|
| I often keep a frown on me, and, strongly
|
| You could say I’m antisocial, speak from the heart
|
| I’m trying to be anti-local, reach for the stars
|
| Flow for the youth—I know it’s the truth. |
| When I was younger
|
| Used to bag project mamis and stroke on the roof until
|
| Her pops yell from the window, honey would fall. |
| I sex
|
| Her down when there’s money involved, mess around. |
| Shit
|
| I know it’s funny for y’all. |
| It’s monetary gain for us
|
| Predominantly, getting paid is a must, plus
|
| I heard you got work on the streets. |
| Opening shop
|
| You could get murked on the streets or float to the top
|
| It’s simple as that. |
| Position yourself, triple your stack
|
| I ain’t saying this shit for my health, and, thinking back
|
| It is rap bringing the gats and slinging the crack?
|
| But you might not wanna listen to that. |
| Word up

|
| (Money and moves, moves and money)
|
| (Gotta make money ‘cause being broke ain’t funny)
|
| (On a paper chase)—why?—(‘cause ain’t nothing for free)
|
| (Everybody got a price, everybody got a fee. It goes:)
