Money, Money, Money

[Hook]
Money, money, money.. we rich gotdamn it
Cash is a drug and niggas got to have it
After we count it up lets hit Somerset, yeah I'm splurgin'
In Detroit… Money more important than a person

[Verse 1]
Everybody wanna be a gangster, who wants to wind up dead
Who wants to spend the next thirty years locked in the Feds?
You want to be Maserati Rick?... Big shoes to fill
It ain't safe to be a boss, you'll more than likely get killed
Gangster movies never end happily ever after
Michael Corleone's life was a fucking disaster
Tony Montana met a tragic end
Henry Hill got caught and he told on his friends
In Casino, Nicky thought he could get away with dumb shit
Til' the Remo let him know who was really running shit
They caught him off guard with some set-up shit
Beat him to death and buried him alive with his brother Dominick, damn

[Hook] [x2]

[Verse 2]
We ain't got to talk movies, we can talk real life
Cause the shit on the big screen is based on real life
Art imitates life and life imitates art
Wesley Snipes and Allen Payne was just playing part
Nino and G-Money was based on B.J. and Larry
The Chambers brother's reign on Detroit, it was so scary
What became known as the "Carter"
Was really called the Broadmoor
Between the Chambers and the "Best Friends"
I wonder who killed more
It was the New Jack era and they was New Jack Gangsters
You want to run with the big boys, but you lack paper
Throw away you future just to sell dope and rob
It's best to stay in school and get high-paying job
..and that's the real!

[Hook] [x2]

[Verse 3]
Donnie King, Jeff Dye, "Sherm", and Cedrick Tooks
The "Black Killers" was extortionist and stick-up crooks
Modeled after Chi-Town's "Blackstone Rangers"
BK's would shoot it out with the "Earl Flynn Gangsters"
Not a pee-wee crew, they spawn big dope dealers
That nigga Johnny Curry started off with "Black Killer"
The most feared man in Detroit Terrence "Boogaloo" Brown
Dead, in a stolen truck, that's how he was found
In a plastic bag wrapped bloody bed sheets
Unidentified in the morgue, for a whole week
Now, this ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
Just a bunch of stories about the wrong path
