Make The Money

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, pants, it's were a father words in the bus
 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
