Lyrics

Bilingual
It makes an honest man turn crooked
Crooked man turn desperate
Ready to set it
Do whatever to get it
Straight cash, no frontin', no credit
It's rough out here
And everybody has a hungry face
Ready for felonies to get bucks out here
They don't smile much out here
You rarely see pearly whites
But a pearl handle was an early sight
Gettin' touched out here
They don't give a fuck out here
And I really hate to piss on your parade
But the poor minority is gettin' sprayed
I see it in my city every day
The morals of life are heavy pay
But as soon as we get in the game, you cry foul
'Cause I'm flagrant
Shit, let us play
Money
"Yo, brothers, respect mine or here go the TEC-9"
"Even when cash rules, you still lose, my nigga"
"I got money on the motherfuckin' brain"
"Even when cash rules, you still lose"
"Yo, brothers, respect mine or here go the TEC-9"
"Get the money"
"I'm gonna cost you five thousand"
"I know that someday we'll all have to answer, I'm sure of that"
"I'm saving some money to give back"
I threw a quarter in the well and wished for a better way
Then I threw a quarter in some blunts
And exhaled the stress like, "Fuck, that was yesterday"
Headed towards the end of the month
It's time to buckle down then I refine the hustle
Stay busy, I don't have time to struggle, uh, you get me?
Movin' with acquired confidence for dollars and cents
Disguised as humble, failin' isn't even an option
Many distractions, eyes on the prize, locked in
Tell me, how can I not win?
Disciplined is how you gotta be
In unforgivin' Michigan, when I got a G
I said I gotta get again, fuck poverty
And the real follow me
'Cause we achieve, no apology
We need a lot of me's for this economy
Money
"What are you saying, Murk?"
"Yo, brothers, respect mine or here go the TEC-9"
"Even when cash rules, you still lose, my nigga"
"I got money on the motherfuckin' brain"
"Even when cash rules, you still lose"
"Yo, brothers, respect mine or here go the TEC-9"
"There's too much goddamn money, I think you're driving me stupid"
"Runnin' around because there's money to make"
"I'm the cake and I'm not the fake"
"Well you know, my way"
"Exactly"
"Let's face it, man, like, success is money"
"You know, whatever happened to just being, you know, people, man?"
