Ends |
| Ayo, you gon' put in on this one? |
| Why am I the only one purchasing shit man |
| Ay, go ahead and kick it on in |
| Kick it in! |
| Kick it In! |
| Everything, is gonna be alright… oh yeah |
| Strong arm robbery |
| Ponzi scheme, our foreign policy |
| War in the name of democracy |
| A lottery, a plot to run up in your private property |
| Cop a key, break it down, and call it the ricotta |
| Or the fetti — that’s a lotta cheese |
| Enough to make the innocent cop a plea |
| And stabilize economies, shopping spree |
| Copped a V, we stay driven by a lotta greed |
| The saddest sight is when the parasites bottom feed |
| The game of Monopoly, a terrorist bombing spree |
| Planes falling out the sky, like we was a Lockerbie |
| Look into the heart of a thief |
| You might go on vacation, become a patient |
| Somebody taking your artery |
| My lyrics merely taking a picture, this is photography |
| Obviously for some the poverty really hard to see |
| Honestly, I’ve come to the stage rock properly |
| I like my pockets fat, not flat |
| Word |
| Spending up all my time making ends |
| For all the money |
| It’s the only thing on my mind, right now |
| That matters |
| Tried to change my mind |
| Gotta check? |
| Let me underwrite it |
| Spendin' money on the flesh, attention undivided |
| The promise of funds got ‘em strip to their undergarments |
| For the skrilla, they willin' to diss your mama |
| Like the show with Wilmer Valderamma |
| I grind harder cause I gotta live |
| My ancestors swung from the ropes |
| Now my knot is thick |
| This is Apocalypse Now, rising to prominence |
| Never go against the family, it’s Godfather shit |
| My hypothesis, stop your breath like an octopus |
| Gettin' hold of your esophagus |
| Try to rob, I’ll pop you quick |
| Promise you will not evict |
| On a reconnaissance mission for where the profit is |
| No I’m not the office type, quite the opposite |
| Despite accomplishments, I’m hungry as a starving artist is |
| The knowledge from this metropolitan perspective |
| More effective than scholarships to the best colleges |
| Spending up all my time making ends |
| (Kick it In! Kick it In!) |
| For all the money |
| It’s the only thing on my mind, right now |
| (Ay man, gimme my money!) |
| That matters |
| Tried to change my mind |
| So basically, the moral of the story is: |
| Go get it, man |
| It’s the only thing right now that matters |
| I heard somebody say: «Money is the root of all evil» |
| Don’t believe that man |
| It’s the love of money, the pursuit of money |
| That’s the root of all kinds of evil, man. |
| So, Yo — somebody owe you money and they ain’t pay up |
| Tell ‘em you got five seconds… |
| You got five seconds — gimme my shit! |
| (Laughs) |
