Better Than Money

[Verse 1]
Man I been hustlin and I been strugglin
But I swear to God that shit is so humblin
I don't depend on no help from the government
They let they pockets grow, while we are sufferin
I'm independent and i'm really lovin it
My music is starting to go where I want it
Remember the time we were stumblin
Yeah we got lost and we needed some compasses
When we was broke, we had noodles for supper
Then open the cupboards, there's little or nothin in
And, boys in the hood selling drugs again
Till they get locked up by cops in the dungeons
And all of my brothers that's gonna look up to them
Hoping they save me a spot when I come up to them
Back in high school we were so full of trouble
Then smoking my weed, in then class we was bunkin it
Then I was hustlin
Up in the streets all my homies belonged to the numbers
And I was so innocent, I saw so much with them
All of the pain and emotion, was crumblin
All of they feelings and pills they was crushin it
Look in they jeans, there's probably a gun in it
The plan is for human destructiveness
I do not know how the planet has come to this
But we still hustlin, it is too much for him
All of the pressure can feel like a ton of bricks
That I am carrying
I lift it up then put all the weight on my shoulders
My muscles big
I am discovering
Money is evil but everything
And it's puzzlin
Sometimes I feel I had enough of this
So this is me writing my bucket list

[Chorus]
If I got my mommy and somebody loves me
And I got my brothers and food in my tummy
I rob from the rich and give to the hungry
Just so they hug me and to see them smiling

It's better than money
It's better than money
It's better than money
It's better than money

If I got my mommy and somebody loves me
And I got my brothers and food in my tummy
I rob from the rich and give to the hungry
Just so they can hug me and to see them smiling

It's better than money
It's better than money
It's better than money
It's better than money

[Verse 2]
My head is a jungle and I'm on the jungle gym
Feel like I'm playing at school and I'm young again
On jump street and I'm 21 again
Feel like I'm Channing, I feel like I'm Jonah Hill
I am uncovering
All of the talent that they could not see when it was right in front of them
You do not know what you up against
I am as strong as a weightlifter's supplements
And I was hustlin, wanted the finer things and all the diamond rings
But it means nothing when they at yo funeral
And they are burying your body down in the grass
And you pray for him
Yeah he was hustlin
Now is the time to take on this punishment
Return to the earth as nourishment
You food for the worms and they munching it
Ja we was butcharing hoping God's watching him
This is the end of his life, no more luck for him
Gave all our love and we hope it's enough for him
When he's at heaven gates, please open up for him
Yeah it's a fucked up thing, indeed
But this life is only a dream
So try and believe
In more than material needs, it's hard but this what I mean

[Chorus]
If I got my mommy and somebody loves me
And I got my brothers and food in my tummy
I rob from the rich and give to the hungry
Just so they hug me and to see them smilin

It's better than money
It's better than money
It's better than money
It's better than money

If I got my mommy and somebody loves me
And I got my brothers and food in my tummy
I rob from the rich and give to the hungry
Just so they hug me and to see them smilin

It's better than money
It's better than money
It's better than money
It's better than money
