Make The Money
[Verse 1]Now, this is my job, I will not quit itPulled me out the depths when I thought that I was finishedYeah I questioned if I could go the distanceThat's just the work, regardless of who's listening, listeningListen, see I was meant to be a warriorFight something amongst me, leave here victoriousClassroom of kids, or a venue performingIf I'd had done for the money I'd have been a fucking lawyerConcrete, vagabond, van telling storiesHumbled by the road, I'm realizing I'm not importantSee life's a beautiful struggle, I record itHope it helps you maneuvering through yours andThat's why we stay in the lab at nightI've been staring into this pad for over half my lifeA true artist won't be satisfiedSo I guess that's the sacrificeAnd I say...
[Hook]Make the money, don't let the money make youChange the game, don't let the game change youI'll forever remain faithfulAll my people stay trueI say...Make the money, don't let the money make youChange the game, don't let the game change youI'll forever remain faithfulAll my people stay true
[Verse 2]Forget about the fame, fortune and the mansionSitting and tripping watching myself on a plasmaYeah, I start slipping when I'm thinking about that stuffEgo won't swole until the karma catches that up, that upI'm my grandma's number one grandsonI lost myself to remember who that wasWe start thinking about some kicks, a necklaceWhat I really need is a job off craig's listTake away the dot com, name, loveFans, twitter followers, and the buzzSee, you keep the issues but you take away the drugsAnd I had to find out who I really wasWho I really wasn'tSo sick of who I was becomingYeah, tired of runningTime to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn to love him
[Hook]Make the money, don't let the money make youChange the game, don't let the game change youI'll forever remain faithfulAll my people stay trueI said...Make the money, don't let the money make youChange the game, don't let the game change youI'll forever remain faithfulAll my people stay true
[Bridge](x2)Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lacWatch the videos and get the girls in the backBut if that's what I believe in, and the reason that I rapUncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track
[Hook]Make the money, don't let the money make youChange the game, don't let the game change youI'll forever remain faithfulStay true, stay trueAnd I said...Make the money, don't let the money make youChange the game, don't let the game change youI'll forever remain faithfulStay true, stay true, stay true
[Outro]Forget about the fameI said forget about the fameI'll forever remain faithfulStay true, stay true, stay true
