Rich & Respected

[Intro]
Anonymass

[Pre-Chorus]
Run me my check if you love me like that
You say that it's love, I can't tell with how you act
Say you got my back, I don't know if that's a fact
Matter of fact, that's a whole lot of cap

[Chorus]
Don't show me fake love for a second
I'd rather be rich and respected
Don't show me fake love for a second
I'd rather be rich and respected

[Verse 1]
Yeah, crunch the numbers with me
Ever play me 'bout my money, gotta come and get me
My first management before I had a lawyer
Put mе on some shitty paperwork, then hit mе for a hunnid fifty
Burnin' through these ends, I'm not tryna make amends
I done did some songs with folks and found out we not really friends
Once it's time to cut the check, they see it through a different lens
Thought we tryna eat together, why you jumped across the fence?
I took offense
Don't you hate it when that business make the room tense?
I can't relate 'cause I done paid folks more than they deserve
Shit, and so did Bird
How you say it's love but you ain't executin' on the verb?
And if that struck a nerve, I'm talkin' 'bout you nerds
Just send the paperwork, I'm over that exchangin' words
And once you gettin' curved, know that's what you deserve
Call me "brother" second, gotta get that paper first (Anonymass)

[Chorus]
Don't show me fake love for a second (Second)
I'd rather be rich and respected (Respected)
Don't show me fake love for a second (Second)
I'd rather be rich and respected

[Post-Chorus]
Run me my check if you love me like that (Like that)
You say that it's love, I can't tell with how you act (Act)
Say you got my back, I don't know if that's a fact (If that's a fact)
Matter of fact, that's a whole lot of cap (Whole lot of cap)

[Refrain]
I'd rather be rich and respected (Respected)
I'd rather be rich and respected

[Verse 2]
Cut some people out the circle, call it "new beginnings"
How you up, but you hate to see a loser winnin'?
I let the roof diminish, I was never doin' limits
People gon' do you the worst then hope that you forget it
I was born into the game, I wasn't due for scrimmage
My sis was sellin' drugs soon as she was through with tennis
So I don't do that back and forth 'less it's stores at Lennox
I own the store, so you can't pay me like I'm no apprentice
Big old chain, BigXthaPlug, and you ain't next to us
Y'all in denial like that single came from Sevendust
We let the money talk, for you, I guess it's best to hush
We headed up into a level you could never touch
I've seen, people way, way too petty
'bout some little-bitty change, couldn't even buy a Chevy
Y'all gon' need them friends back when this shit get too heavy
But once you do me dirty like that, you gotta forget me (Anonymass)

[Chorus]
Don't show me fake love for a second (Second)
I'd rather be rich and respected (Respected)
Don't show me fake love for a second (Second)
I'd rather be rich and respected

[Post-Chorus]
Run me my check if you love me like that (Like that)
You say that it's love, I can't tell with how you act (Act)
Say you got my back, I don't know if that's a fact (If that's a fact)
Matter of fact, that's a whole lot of cap (Whole lot of cap)

[Refrain]
I'd rather be rich and respected (Respected)
I'd rather be rich and respected (Respected)
