Money

It's gon' be a bunch of little kids, a lot

A bunch of little boys and girls singin' this lil' part right here

Make— make it easy words, somethin' like this

Money, money, all I need, all I want (Yeah)

Take it from me, leave you stank, smell the funk (You stink)

Money, money, all they need, all they want (Yeah, uh-uh, uh)

Take it from me, no, you can't, no, you don't (Uh, look)

****, money on my mind more than half the time

They put our mask on the money, so I mastermind

Don't mind to admit I'm a mess, I ain't just rappin' rhymes

JID really Jimmy Neutron mixin' a nuclear bomb

And, as they eyes are watchin' God, I'm tryna rise above

Poverty, philosophies, and prophecies arise

Follow me for forever, never fall too far behind

'Cause I tell my testimonies, Testaverdes at a time (Sixteen)

Uh, he was done without a dime

Youngest in the family, so come from out of crime

Came from East Atlanta, Moreland Ave to South Deshon

In his path, Twenty East was probably like the Autobahn

When he get his autograph, he gon' have Grammys and arms

'Member he was smokin' little grammies in the slums?

Tryin' not to panic, couldn't imagine what was done

Father Time fucked Mother Earth and had an Uncle Tom

Now, them crackers snatchin' black cats by they tongue

For the cheese, rats creepin' on yo' T.V. screen, sellin' you dreams

Granny buyin' holy waters off of Joel Osteen

Rubbin' it in my brother head, say a prayer on her knees

I used to be jealous of Jared and Patrel Ahkim, even Farad

Had the new Js and new jeans on, it's what I wanted at the time

As a pre-teen, pretend I'm a star

Pretty model in a G-string, sittin' on top the car

With the bottle that she drinking, leavin' from out the bar

Scheme on the dollar, thinkin' if anybody is talkin'

Put some green on his head, he better be Marcus Smart

But, we never had a thing, so, he's always in my thoughts

Because I ate so many bologna sandwiches as a child

I'd kill a **** if he made one for me right now

Ironic that being broke is an expensive lifestyle

No wonder they sellin' dope from sun rose to sundown

Tryna get mo', screamin' out the window

Money, money, all I need, all I want (Yeah)

Take it from me, leave you stank, smell the funk (You stink)

Money, money, all they need, all they want (Yeah, uh-uh, uh)

Take it from me, no, you can't, no, you don't

Look, ****, money on my mind more than most the time

And most of my grind go to promotin' my rhymes, a **** don't blow, I shine

I feel like Coach Prime, I throw a bomb if they encroach the line

And, don't socialize, the goal is to get the most dimes before it's the end of yo' time (Aw, man)

It's hard for a **** to score when they keep on movin' the goal line (It's time to get some money, dawg)

Now, he outside the liquor store with a lottery ticket

Leavin' a double shift at the Walmart on Gresham Road (Life for me ain't been no crystal stair, dawg)

Still tryna keep composure rollin' past the gas station where he owe ****

Fuckin' with that parlay play and a **** may spray 'bout that dough (I need some money, yeah)

So, a **** don't play by no code

Back in the day, we was told 'bout reparations, get a mule, forty acres or so

Justifications and re-payment for the pain in yo' soul

Fast forward, fuck patience, I ain't waitin' no more

I got to take it, paper chasin' like I'm Dre or I'm HOV

Ye with the clothes

Fuck Hulk Hogan and fuck Joe Rogan because it flows, you know how it goes

Need a bitch that's down with O-P-P, and down with IPO's

Feel like ODB, you hoes better have my Pesos

Thinkin' about them days Mama said she had to pray more

'Cause feedin' seven kids, plus the mortgage got to pay more

The food from in the fridge from last night is on the table

Y'all sit down and say y'all grace because we ate so many bologna sandwiches as a child

I'd kill for one of them shits if I could have one right now

Ironic I'm havin' dope but don't promote the lifestyle

Just want my people to grow, let's make a toast to right now, get some money

Say it with me loud now

Money, money, all I need, all I want (Yeah)

Take it from me, leave you stank, smell the funk (You stink)

Money, money, all they need, all they want (Yeah, uh-uh, uh)

Take it from me, no, you can't, no, you don't
