All for What

[Verse 1]
He wasn't born to privilege, but he was born to scrimmage
Realized to this world, there was more than image
Knew to succeed, you must ignore your critics
Loved his music, but deplored the business
Now, you can sell your soul and get scores of riches
But in the end result, you'll be torn and twisted
Lived to the fullest, thought he saw his limits
Stayed on his principles, was to hardcore to pivot
Living to rhyme, but later driven to crime
So cool, most would of thought he ain't sinned in his life
Things changed, at the blink of an eye
When he mentioned, "I just got to do a thing for this guy"
Said, "I'm choked" looking at his kid, flat broke
Five years down the track, wish he hid that dope
His pops always spoke about not mixing with bad folk
Now they pulled him from a river, just to give him a tagged toe

[Chorus]
Rob for the money, steal for the money
Man I got to get them dollar bills for my honey
Should I rob for the money, steal for the money
Do deals for the money, look, chill for me honey
Should I rob for the money, steal for the money
Got to get them dollar bills, for my honey
Should I rob for the money, steal for the money
Do deals for the money, look, chill for me honey
Life can be funny (It ain't funny)
Bro that boy got killed, killed for the...

[Verse 2]
A once disciplined kid, became inflicted within
Stricken with the sickness, of living for friends
Bad habits of drinking, didn't pay dividends
Wife gave him the ultimatum, leave or make ends meet
So for a while, he lived in deceit
Started making that money pile, without bringing receipts
Mrs is all smiles, thinking its sweet
While his palms are sweaty, heart skipping a beat
'Til a night, he got drunk and started wetting his beak
Dipped up in his mix, he ain't slept in a week
A once strong figure, got swept off his feet
Said, "I'm in hot water," and I guess it was deep
Said now, "I'm probably safer in a cell than the street"
A week later, he knew how well he'd foreseen
Selling to some D's, then he gave up his team
His crew found him, took his life just to pay for his deeds in life

[Chorus]
Rob for the money, steal for the money
Man I got to get them dollar bills for my honey
Should I rob for the money, steal for the money
Do deals for the money, look, chill for me honey
Should I rob for the money, steal for the money
Got to get them dollar bills, for my honey
Should I rob for the money, steal for the money
Do deals for the money, look, chill for me honey
Life can be funny (It ain't funny)
Bro that boy got killed, killed for the...

[Bridge]
Everyday's a trial we facing, pictures in my mind retracing
Everyday's a trial we facing, pictures in my mind retracing
Everyday's a trial we facing, pictures in my mind retracing
Everyday's a trial we facing, pictures in my mind retracing

[Chorus]
Rob for the money, steal for the money
Man I got to get them dollar bills for my honey
Should I rob for the money, steal for the money
Do deals for the money, look, chill for me honey
Should I rob for the money, steal for the money
Got to get them dollar bills, for my honey
Should I rob for the money, steal for the money
Do deals for the money, look, chill for me honey
Life can be funny (It ain't funny)
Bro that boy got killed, killed for the...
