The Money

If it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense
Hustle on the block just to pay my rent
JS on the beat, major on the hook
Phil on the verse, if a nigga want that work
We just getting to the money
If you ain’t talkin dollars then me no habla
I write some shit that fuck around and give Leo an Oscar
Deadly with the pen vocabulary like a scholar
But never graduated dropped out chasing a dollar
I caught it started a journey chasing his brothers
I owe my father a house and a car for my mother
Rollin picture me rolling on some Pac shit
Feel like Karl Malone, JS must stand for John Stockton, Minus the shorts
I got some niggas who can drop you off right at the port
And get it for the low, I’m talking about from the source
And we ain’t wanna live like this, we was honestly forced
I remember many days sitting out on the porch
Me and my niggas pass the rock no basketball court
My nigga Tre had the heat in the back of his shorts
If you ain’t talking dollars what the fuck you askin me for
Im Kobe don’t give up the dime, best read the status report
Hook
For the M-O-N-E-Y why do you bring me so much pain
For the M-O-N-E-Y I guess its all apart of the game
For the M-O-N-E-Y, why can’t I tell the real from the fake
For the M-O-N-E-Y should I just throw it all away
Gotta watch these niggas with my 3rd eye
Singing goodbye lullabys while they testify
Ever since i got the money, they started actin funny
On the flipside, im surrounded by all these playboy bunnies
Man damn look what I became
Women love me, niggas wanna be me, I’m critically acclaimed
Now everyone starting to change, just because I made a name
Fuck the money, fuck the fame, nigga this shit is not a game
The chosen one, the golden child, damn this shit is wild
Hard to tell who’s really real and a fake smile
Fuck it, you can all of this shit back
Ain’t no money in the world bring my grandmother back
The beginning of the end or the end of the beginning
My nightmares and my dreams got the same people in em damn
Now Everybody want a piece of the pie
I ain’t Pac I ain’t biggie i ain’t ready to die
Youll Never take me alive
