Life Lessons

It Take Money To Make Money
& It Take Struggle To Make Something
Gotta Pray For It, Then Wait For It
But Where I’m From We Take For It
(Verse One)
You Gotta Take Risk, Back & Forth Them State Trips
Gotta Raise Kids, Feed The Block & Pay Rent
Dog I Want A Benz Two Doors With The Chrome Lips
I Got Cold Hands, Cause My Prayers Be Full Of Sins
Niggas Throwing Shade Cause My Frames Got Dark Tint
So I Cop A Chain Bossed Up On Niggas, Now Hate This
Niggas Envious, It’s A Disease I’m Getting Sick
Bad Energy The Reason, You Broke You Better Quit
Niggas Feeling It, I’m From Slum Villages, Dash/Dilla
A Symphony When I Put On Horns & Make Hits
You Can Tell That My Heart Is Sincere, Cause I Don’t Fear
I Can Tell That You Ain’t Got Money Cause You Ain’t Listening
Don’t Go To Funerals, Too Much Crying Too Much Pain
I Let Go Balloons, Hope They Float Up To Heaven’s Gates
Bank Accounts Filled, Off Writing & Making Tapes
You Can Have The Drugs, I’m A Hustle Another Way
(Chorus Two)
It Take Money To Make Money
& It Take Struggle To Make Something
Gotta Pray For It, Then Wait For It
But Where I’m From We Take For It
(Verse Two)
All These Niggas Need To Chill With The Violence, & Grab A Bitch
Drive Around With Her Play Her Some Blues, & Pour Her Some Hen
Take Her Out To A New Restaurant, Chicken & Grits
That’s The Reason Why She Always Gossip, & Taking Pics
You Can Tell When Woman Is Happy, Look At Her Man
But These Niggas Buying Fake Rolex’s, For Instagram
I Never Need Acceptance From People, Cause I’m A Man
Niggas Never Had A Dad In My Life, Is What I’m Saying
& I Never Had Success In My Life, That’s Why I’m Praying
Cause I Can’t Handle Stress In My Life, That Shit Is Hell
This For Niggas Who Be Fresh Out Of Jail, That Tried Bail
Dog The Laws Of Attraction Is Real, Just Try & Fail
This A Record That The Hood Gone Love, That’s Clientele
This The Vibes For My Mind In The Summer, Pull Out The Grill
Tell The Ladies That We Need Some More Liquor, Here Go A Bill
This Is Black Love Bumping Through Speakers, You Buy We Sell
It Take Money To Make Money
& It Take Struggle To Make Something
Gotta Pray For It, Then Wait For It
But Where I’m From We Take For It
(Bridge)
Take Money Money Make Money Money
Make Money Money Take Money Money
It Take Money To Make Money
& It Take Struggle To Make Something
Gotta Pray For It, Then Wait For It
But Where I’m From We Take For It
