Lyrics

[00:00.52] Money's growing like grass with the mass appeal
[00:02.82]
[00:05.70] Money's growing like grass with the mass appeal
[00:07.65]
[00:10.52] Money's growing like grass with the mass appeal
[00:12.48]
[00:15.85] Money's growing like grass with the mass appeal
[00:19.14]
[00:20.01] No way you'll never make it
[00:21.45] Come with the weak shit I break kids
[00:23.26] Step into my zone mad rhymes will stifle ya
[00:25.82] Lines like rifles go blast when I kick some ass
[00:27.52]
[00:28.27] A lot of rappers be like one time wonders
[00:30.46] Couldn't say a fly rhyme if there was one right under
[00:32.82] Their noses I hate those motherf**kin posers
[00:35.54] But I'm so real to them it's scary
[00:37.85] And with my unique skills nag you can't compare me
[00:39.45]
[00:40.45] And no we don't make wack tracks
[00:42.76] And all the suckers get pushed back when I'm kickin real facts
[00:45.75] I represent set up shit like a tent boy
[00:48.19] You're paranoid cause you're my son like elroy
[00:50.26]
[00:51.01] And you'd be happy as hell to get a record deal
[00:53.65] Maybe your soul you'd sell to have mass appeal
[00:55.72] Money's growing like grass with the mass appeal
[00:57.83]
[01:00.71] Money's growing like grass with the mass appeal
[01:02.66]
[01:04.86] Oh yes I'm greater than all mc's when I breeeze give me room please
[01:08.36] I be like fascinatin when I be updatin
[01:10.81] Cuttin off wack kids pullin their trump cards
[01:13.05] I thump hard and mak eem say that I'm god
[01:15.11]
[01:16.67] Niggaz be pretendin they hardcore
[01:17.17]
[01:18.29] Never know the meaning of
[01:19.45]
[01:21.07] But I get props like a slogan and no man
[01:23.25] Could ever try to diss when I kicks my jam
[01:25.50] Lyrically def and connecting complete mic wrecking
[01:27.89]
[01:28.52] No double checking vocals kill like weapons
[01:30.63] But if I have to I go all out with no mic
[01:33.89] Yeah that's right cause I survived mad fights
[01:35.59]
[01:36.66] And for my peeps I truly care
[01:38.55] Cause without some of them I wouldn't be here
[01:40.37]
[01:41.49] And they all know how I feel
[01:43.13] Cause suckers be like playin themselves to have mass appeal
[01:45.67] Money's growing like grass with the mass appeal
[01:47.42]
[01:49.93] Money's growing like grass with the mass appeal
[01:52.56]
[02:05.34] I know I'm dope but don't wet that
[02:06.69] I've suffered setbacks but now I'm makin greenbacks
[02:09.19] Just like baggy slacks I'm crazy hip-hop
[02:11.68] Check one two and you don't stop
[02:13.44] Your head'll bop when I drop my crop
[02:15.50] Of pure bomb just like the seashore I'm calm
[02:18.06] But wild with my monotone style
[02:20.38]
[02:21.13] Because I don't need gimmicks
[02:22.78]
[02:23.47] Gimme a fly beat and I'm all in it
[02:25.53]
[02:26.21] Word is bond I go on and on
[02:27.71]
[02:28.52] For you it's tragic I got magic like wands
[02:30.58] So i'ma end this lecture and I betcha
[02:33.07] Those who kick dirt and do time I'm gonna get cha
[02:35.38]
[02:36.01] Cause I be kickin the real
