The Money

Lyrics

[Hook] So, can I get a price check? Yeah, can I get a price check? On your life and the side effects Of the money, the greed, the debt, the schemes Check one, two, check two, three Get a mic check, yeah, I'd rather get a mic check D-rapht coming live and direct From the West to the South, to the North to the East Check one, two, check two, three [Verse 1] Man, my mother was never made of the money Iron maiden, never running away from her sons and Daughters, always had food and water Never knew how she afforded my Jordan's but bought 'em I wore them 'til water would leak through the rips Never looked poor like Oliver Twist, never wanted more Or knock on your door like I was a Mormon Swore to never be down or caught in a rip Nah, when money came, it was gone with the wind On a shopping list longer than the Lord of the Rings Ha, a sunny day, you ain't short of a thing When you're born into the game holding four of the kings Yeah, believe it, my dad was a musician By bringing a bass drum to cook up in the kitchen Wouldn't feed us with all his get rich scheming Feeding his demons, life's a bitch To skyrocket, he forgot all the people in his locket For a profit, leave another man rotten Notes in his pocket nailed in his coffin 'Cause yesterday's pain ain't forgotten [Hook] So, can I get a price check? Yeah, can I get a price check? On your life and the side effects Of the money, the greed, the debt, the schemes Check one, two, check two, three Get a mic check, yeah, I'd rather get a mic check D-rapht coming live and direct From the West to the South, to the North to the East Check one, two, check two, three [Verse 2] I knew this girl that you would sell your soul for She would control your world like the Cold War No dole form, sworn for the riches erection Oh, you gotta Rex or a Lexus? Yeah, the temptress will give you attention And hence, all you have to do is mention the money It's like sex; you got none, you want it Now she's all up in your wallet for the money [Hook] So, can I get a price check? Yeah, can I get a price check? On your life and the side effects Of the money, the greed, the debt, the schemes Check one, two, check two, three Get a mic check, yeah, I'd rather get a mic check D-rapht coming live and direct From the West to the South, to the North to the East Check one, two, check two, three [Verse 3] Was always taught the root of all evil He who will steal from the pocket of his people Eagle-eyed, survive in the dark Ravenous sharks, welcome to the business Oh, I live this, knocked off the hinges Our offspring addicted to syringes of money Yeah, axe wielding civilian children kill for Some Paris Hilton million dollar money Some of these kids live the sunniest life Still running from the law like Bonnie and Clyde Still deal, still pedaling pills and rock Steal for what? You got all the dollar bills you want [Bridge] ("The money" "The-the-the-the-the money") It makes the world go round, it makes the world go ("The money" "The-the-the-the-the money") It makes the girls go down, it makes the girls go ("The money" "The-the-the-the-the money") It makes the world go round, it makes the world go ("The money" "The-the-the-the-the money") It makes the girls go down [Hook] So, can I get a price check? Yeah, can I get a price check? On your life and the side effects Of the money, the greed, the debt, the schemes Check one, two, check two, three Get a mic check, yeah, I'd rather get a mic check D-rapht coming live and direct From the West to the South, to the North to the East Check one, two, check two, three
