make the money

Lyrics

now, this is my job, i will not quit it, pulled me out the depths when i thought that i was finished, yeah i questioned if i could go the distance, that's just the work, regardless of who's listening, listening, listen, see i was meant to be a warrior, fight something amongst me, leave here victorious, classroom of kids, or a venue performing, if i'd done it for the money i'd have been a fucking lawyer, concrete, vagabond, van telling stories, humbled by the road, i'm realizing i'm not important, see life's a beautiful struggle, i record it, hope it helps you maneuvering through yours and, that's why we stay in the lab at night, i've been staring into this pad for over half my life, a true artist won't be satisfied, so i guess that's the sacrifice, and i say, make the money, don't let the money make you, change the game, don't let the game change you, i'll forever remain faithful, all my people stay true, i say, make the money, don't let the money make you, change the game, don't let the game change you, i'll forever remain faithful, all my people stay true, forget about the fame, fortune and the mansion, sitting and tripping watching myself on a plasma, yeah, i start slipping when i'm thinking about that stuff, ego won't swole until karma catches that up, that up, i'm my grandma's number one grandson, i lost myself to remember who that was, we start thinking about some kicks, a necklace, what i really need is a job off craigslist, take away the dot com, name, love, fans, twitter followers, and the buzz, see, you keep the issues but you take away the drugs, and i had to find out who i really was, who i really wasn't, so sick of who i was becoming, yeah, tired of running, time to look at the man in the mirror until i can learn to love him, make the money, don't let the money make you, change the game, don't let the game change you, i'll forever remain faithful, all my people stay true, i say, make the money, don't let the money make you, change the game, don't let the game change you, i'll forever remain faithful, all my people stay true, of course i want dubs and a candy painted 'lac, watch the videos and get the girls in the back, but if that's what i believe in, and the reason that i rap, uncle sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track, make the money, don't let the money make you, change the game, don't let the game change you, i'll forever remain faithful, stay true, stay true, and i said, make the money, don't let the money make you, change the game, don't let the game change you, i'll forever remain faithful, stay true, stay true, stay true, forget about the fame, i said forget about the fame, i'll forever remain faithful, stay true, stay true, stay true
