Money Matter$

Verse 1:
I'm talking these money matters
Cuz money matters
I fit to tell you stories to testify bout  the latter
Homies be up these days on that paper Chase
If you no dey hop up on that grind
You're missing ..dead...without a trace
Talk about the truth ,they wanna give you beef
I'm just saying if you gon kill for this you're not complete
They say a good name hits hard more than all that paper
But like I said speak truth and you're a hater
Homies be up these days
Concerned about the pay
Take bodies up off the streets
No repentance up in their ways
They mobbin ,they killin babies
Just to secure the paper bags
Forgetting tomorrows troubles
In caskets or up in rags
Everybody's caught up in the race to hit a lick
Forgetting that God don't like ugly
Hot or cold ... you choose your pick
Chase God and all that follows falls in to place but I bet they wouldn't know cuz they blind and in disgrace
Lot of us have been there before
Let's try and face it
Great desire
Just to make more?
Let's try and trace it
Speed up these paces
Everybodies trying to make it up in time
Something's coming
Poverty? That no be vibe
Are we looking to look rich or be wealthy
Have fame or influence think about outcome is heavy
Some of us gotta renew our minds
Need to spec up and be on a better grind PS

Hook

Verse 2
I'm sitting here and everyone's bout the dollars
A million dollars gotta cause a million problems
Just dey sit around dey think about life
Am I slacking cuz these other think they living it right?
Momma always told me not to take the easy way
But we live in a generation where
The easy way cuts it
Everybody's fighting for the Saturday odds
And then trust
To keep out deserves a round of applause
A wise man talked about how these things never last
And what's a life living for cotton
I just dey ask
"Cash rules everything all around me
C.R.E.A.M
Get the money money money"
And when you die what's next
You look back
You realize that you never put some respect
On your price
Tag
Kids these days we lust for extravagance
And sometimes I feel stuck in the middle
Lord help me handle this
But Are we looking to look rich or be wealthy
Have fame or influence think about outcome is heavy
Some of us gotta renew our minds
Need to spec up and be on a better grind PS

Spoken outro:
Time flies and the necessity to stabilize financially intensifies
Lies filling your head deceiving that one must massively acquire before the age of 25
Alive you may be but dead in the spirit is the one who trades his soul for the paper
Huh .....like I dey shiver
The lengths and breaths we go to put two and two together
Forgetting we're living on borrowed time (borrowed time)
You gotta be on the grind tho
It be very necessary
But if the grind no dey make you dey see that there's more to life than the flashy
You for think
Choose wisely
