[Chorus: Rjay Ty]
Passion over profit, here to own it, never stopping
Go for gold but you should know that wealth is of the mind not pockets
Yeah the system is just twisted would you flow with it or stop it
Will you fight for what you love or do you have a price to drop it
I said passion over profit, here to own it, never stopping
Go for gold but you should know that wealth is of the mind not pockets
Yeah the system is just twisted would you flow with it or stop it
Will you fight for what you love or do you have a price to drop it
[Verse 1: Rjay Ty]
Rock it and give it all you got or better yet leave it be
Stop if you ain't about it got no time for mediocrity
All of the time invested bless this kid with a couple G's
Tell me where you were while I was walking got blisters plus under the heat
Keep your feet planted wherever you land
Straighten things out whenever that they slant
Give your best whenever given a chance
Do it yourself with your own two hands
Stick to the plan, stick to what you know because the truth is what they say ain't true
That there is new though but could you look in the mirror and say that right there is you
That's right I presume the way you consuming has got these illusions all up in your head
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, no turning back by the time that we dead
Time we get fed, time that we fight for ours and let our people know
That we been mislead and now's the time to draw the line it's time to get yours
His, hers, mines, theirs tell me where it all went
It just ain't fair we could barely afford rent
Born and raised in this country somehow I feel foreign
Roots or leaves time to choose tell me are you up for it
[Chorus: Rjay Ty]
Passion over profit, here to own it, never stopping
Go for gold but you should know that wealth is of the mind not pockets
Yeah the system is just twisted would you flow with it or stop it
Will you fight for what you love or do you have a price to drop it
I said passion over profit, here to own it, never stopping
Go for gold but you should know that wealth is of the mind not pockets
Yeah the system is just twisted would you flow with it or stop it
Will you fight for what you love or do you have a price to drop it
[Verse 2: Nimbus 9]
Whoops roll up a j and maybe pour a cup of that drink in
For a couple of minutes you think til it all has started to sink in
Seconds had passed feels like it last forever but quick as a blink yuh
Back where you stand bout to sit down feels like you came from a trip (Hoy)
What do you have? What do you want? What have you already had?
Root of all evil yet we all need it are we suppose to be bad
Guess it's a matter of choice what you choose to invest with your time
While your here make the most and boast the best just simply should shine
Everyone stuck in a muck of a system but what can we do about it
Feeling the change just within range, do it don't ever doubt it
Everyone locked in a box to get out nothing to do but to fight
Doing it well, doing it right, what else you gon do with your life
Just make it sure you okay girl, make it sure you alright bruh
Wherever it is that you travel make sure to be repping your tribe yo
Keep this in mind with stress and strain like something be squeezing your dome
Go back to the root of it all, love it or leave it alone
[Chorus: Rjay Ty]
Passion over profit, here to own it, never stopping
Go for gold but you should know that wealth is of the mind not pockets
Yeah the system is just twisted would you flow with it or stop it
Will you fight for what you love or do you have a price to drop it
I said passion over profit, here to own it, never stopping
Go for gold but you should know that wealth is of the mind not pockets
Yeah the system is just twisted would you flow with it or stop it
Will you fight for what you love or do you have a price to drop it
