| [00:01.272][Intro] | |
| [00:01.621] | An A&R once told me |
| [00:02.223] | “You can determine the worth of a song within 15 seconds of it playing” |
| [00:05.221] | With complete and utter lack of the fact |
| [00:06.678] | That it takes takes all 3 minutes and 40 seconds of a song |
| [00:08.926] | To comprehend what I’m saying |
| [00:10.927] | It ain't a single if it don’t fly |
| [00:12.865] | It ain't a hit if it don’t ride |
| [00:13.990] | Now he couldn’t tell me the components of a smash |
| [00:15.929] | But the ringtones were their all-time high |
| [00:18.118] | And a rappers only as big as his chain, the flashier the better |
| [00:21.115][Hook] | |
| [00:21.451] | They say "money make the world go round" |
| [00:23.708] | You never lost til you lose your crown |
| [00:26.180] | And they don’t love you till you’re under ground |
| [00:28.912] | Or when you’re maxing out your bank account |
| [00:31.382] | Yeah, you do it all just to live the life |
| [00:34.101] | Even if it means you don’t live it right |
| [00:36.559] | And even if it means you don’t survive the night |
| [00:39.287] | But if even if you do you won’t survive the hype |
| [00:42.289] | Of an American rapstar |
| [00:42.898][Verse 1: Big K.R.I.T] | |
| [00:43.599] | Push it to the limit (Why?) |
| [00:44.788] | Just to get up high with a wood grain kitted? |
| [00:46.553] | Ride around town like I never lived in it |
| [00:48.791] | Gun in my dash, pray I never kill with it |
| [00:51.538] | I’m that real with it |
| [00:52.950] | Got my eyes on the prize |
| [00:54.338] | Bills still due, mother**** 9-5 |
| [00:56.908] | Searching for a freak that wanna **** once or twice |
| [00:59.622] | Wanna buy a bottle but I ain't paid my tithes |
| [01:02.552] | This ain't no lie, I got a vision and a masterplan |
| [01:05.338] | To hit the block and blow up like a Taliban |
| [01:08.116] | I make it where the plane never have to land |
| [01:10.569] | I make it where them lames never stand a chance |
| [01:13.384] | Shit, you’ll never know, only time’ll tell |
| [01:16.523] | You either starve or you find the scale |
| [01:18.711] | You either buying or you tryna' sell |
| [01:21.195] | You either fall or you grind the rails |
| [01:23.713][Hook] | |
| [01:24.351] | They say "money make the world go round" |
| [01:27.148] | You never lost til you lose your crown |
| [01:29.601] | And they don’t love you till you’re under ground |
| [01:32.320] | Or when you’re maxing out your bank account |
| [01:34.773] | Yeah, you do it all just to live the life |
| [01:37.525] | Even if it means you don’t live it right |
| [01:39.759] | And even if it means you don’t survive the night |
| [01:42.554] | But if even if you do you won’t survive the hype |
| [01:44.807] | Of an American rapstar |
| [01:45.994][Verse 2: Big K.R.I.T] | |
| [01:46.604] | So watch me get it how I live |
| [01:47.464] | Waiting on my moment, screaming **** how they feel |
| [01:49.650] | Dodging jail cells and them pigs down to kill |
| [01:52.398] | They shot Oscar Grant swear it gave a nigga chills |
| [01:54.853] | Lets keep it real, if you ain't looking keep your eyes closed |
| [01:58.196] | Will I pay what I owe? Only God knows |
| [02:00.504] | I ain't for sure, give me strength just to change what I can’t |
| [02:03.551] | And understand the difference between a nigga and the King that I am |
| [02:07.741] | Gotta keep ya finger on the trigger |
| [02:09.677] | Pac died, Biggie died, they ain't found the killers |
| [02:12.246] | Momma say she worried ’cause I rap about the Government |
| [02:14.959] | And how the Church caked other people out there struggling (its real though) |
| [02:18.625] | I just call it how it is, folk |
| [02:20.835] | I’m breathing for a reason, what you here for? |
| [02:23.284] | They got it where the villains who we cheer for |
| [02:25.749] | Cause they murdered all the heroes |
| [02:27.483][Hook] | |
| [02:28.077] | They say "money make the world go round" |
| [02:30.267] | You never lost til you lose your crown |
