Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Ay you gon' put in on this man?
Ayo why I'm the only one always purchasing shit man?
Ay, go 'head and kick it on in man
Kick it in, kick it in, hey
Kick it in, hey
Kick it in
Strong arm robbery, Ponzi scheme our foreign policy
War in the name of democracy
The lottery, a plot to run up in your private property
Cop a key, break it down and call it the ricotta
All the fetti that's a lot of cheese
Enough to make the innocent cop a plea
Stabilize economies, shopping spree
Cop the V, stay driven by a lot of greed
The saddest sight is when the parasites bottom feed
The game of Monopoly, 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
The lyrics merely taking a picture, this is photography
Obviously for some the poverty really hard to see
Honestly I come to the stage to rock properly
I like my pockets fat, not flat
Spendin' up all my time makin' ends
For all the money
It's the only thing on my mind
Right now, that matters
Try to change my mind
Got a check? Let me underwrite it
Spending money on the flesh, attention undivided
The promise of funds got 'em strippin' to they undergarments
For the skrilla they willing to diss your mama
Like the show with Wilmer Valderrama
I grind harder cause I gotta live
My ancestors swang from the ropes, now my knot is thick
This is Apocalypse Now, risin' to prominence
Never go against the family, it's Godfather shit
My hypothesis: stop your breath like an octopus
The hold of your esophagus, try to rob a pocket 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
Spendin' up all my time makin' ends
For all the money
It's the only thing on my mind
Right now, that matters
Try 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 paying up
Tell 'em man, you got five seconds
Give me my shit, you got
Five, four, three, two, one
