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 had done 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 the 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 craig´s list 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 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 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 (x2)
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
