|
They sell out, or buy in |
|
Put their lives on the line and call it grinding |
|
Without a second thought, now he's doing 5 or 10 |
|
Money talks, its murder for hire hear the sirens |
|
You smell the envy in the air, everything is fair |
|
This is war, street dreams are made, it's not a game [Verse 1 - Jay Rock:] |
|
Motivated by money, money is mesmerizing |
|
Many are murdered for it while mayhem is exercising |
|
Money is Morpheus, and might pay your mortgages |
|
Plus the morgue got some more of it |
|
That embalmment fluid merging through your muscles immortaless |
|
Philosophy rules, if your mustard is mean then your material views |
|
Will put a misery on the broke |
|
Majority manifests, a mission before they mope |
|
For math we do the most, observing the optimist, opposites do attract |
|
Operation for evil, its obvious for attack |
|
Obedience is a must but its hard to obey |
|
When your optics ain't saying no opportunities pay |
|
It might be over a dice game, might be over a new chain |
|
Might be over an old bitch, or you owe someone old change |
|
You open for open game, then open your ears |
|
It's not an option it's an order you get shit clear about money! [Hook - J Black:] |
|
The things people do for the money |
|
And you might just lose your soul |
|
And some will give their whole life |
|
For the money, yep for the money |
|
Will you give your whole life, for the money, for the money [Verse 2 - Jay Rock:] |

The negatives are normal when you knee deep |
|
When nice sins get stabbed with a knife in or shot with a nine |
|
The neediest the nosiest, they always trying to be friends |
|
And if you naive you should notice all the signs |
|
They known to turn naughty, might gain notoriety |
|
But your nemesis is lurking through the party |
|
No exceptions, no time to exit |
|
Your neighbours is near, now you hearing noises |
|
Say you got a death wish, everything is everything |
|
Well equity is evident, find yourself establishing |
|
Etablishment executives, street entrepreneurs |
|
Examined in they estimate, extracurricular drug activities the testament |
|
Taste the work, excellent, fiends excersing dope |
|
To the head estrogen, entertain |
|
I have a hope |
|
Intertwined with cut throats, enter when you please |
|
Keep your eyes open its easy to be deceived about money [Hook] |
|
Why the say money is the root of evil? |
|
Because when you got too much of it here comes the root and evil |
|
So tell me why money keeps you satisfied |
|
Do it keep food on your table, do it keep you hell-a fly? |
|
Why, why is money always on your mind? |
|
Because the less fortunate don't have money all the time |
|
Why money got niggas out there doing time? |
