Scared Money |
Callin' haves and have nots |
Every cell on the block |
Every nigga with a trigger, empty barreled or cocked |
March in like parade of scars if you been stabbed or shot |
Son, we smokin' these batons right in front of these cops |
Callin' out to the kids, all my niggas with bids |
Whether suited up or booted up or stuck in the mid |
You can download it or boot it up, my pupils unlid |
All my students of the underground with record store gigs |
Callin' out to the girls, the inventors of worlds |
The intelligence of relevance and elegant pearls |
Pour like nectar from the lotus big bang opus in swirls |
Down the sweaty backs of hairyweave tracks and dried jheri curls |
Callin' out to the pimps hat cocked slump with your gimp |
On your wrist with just a twist of lime to go with that limp |
Hold your cup up so this ancient rain can find its way in |
Let these niggas know the cost of reaching heavenly bliss, yes |
Scared money don’t make none (x4) |
Scared money don’t make none (x4) |
It was all a dream, I used to fantasize I was Malcolm |
Or Martin in the pulpit, the ballot or the bullet |
I swear I used to pray to change back the year |
When niggas spoke of motherships with space helmets for hair |
Well, now what have we here? |
Thugs and poets, ah yeah |
What we seem to have in common is we’re common as air |
Yes, the lowest rung of anthems sung each day every year |
From cheque cashing to latest fashions, while they ration out fear |
But I’m fearless, sometimes I feel alone, homeless, peerless |
What will it take to shake the land for everyone to hear this? |
I can’t bear this, born of pages torn from ancient prayer lists |
Descendant of the womb, the lotus blooms when I come near it |
I declare it, time to realign karat to carrot |
What was olden remains golden sceptered tongue I dare to share it |
All who hear it know at once, royal highness over blunts |
Thug of thugs, pimp of pimps, golden tongue and ivory fronts |
Grind and hustle, niggas know the heart is just a muscle |
All payments due, you made some papes I wrote upon I trust you will invest |
'Cause chances are the game is just a test |
Professor of the truth talk real truth emeritus |
I am the king, as I command my son to dance and sing |
We celebrate our earthly fate, my daughter gives me wings |
We are one, descendants of the mothership and tongue |
Southern trees have born strange fruit, hail, salute a troop well hung |
So come along, everyone’s invited |
Heroes of distinguished paths, victims and conquered |
Those who stand alone and those who stand unfettered |
Fuck the bullshit whether from the hill or from the pulpit |
Today, I put my money on the fall of every culprit |
Truth prevails, when all else fails drug dealers make the music |
Then guess who’s back? |
Your souls answer to greenbacks, hoes and crack |
The chord that strung from anthems sung right now to way way back |
The legacy of Hennessey distilled to brownish black |
Rolls off the tongue a pointed gun, fake nigga’s best stand back |
The trumpet calls and yes, yes, y’all, the emperor’s changed his hat |
