J-Live - Money Matters

Текст песни

Your world my world same shit different day\nDifferent shit same toilet paper gotta circulate\nJust to keep the water flushing stove hot fridge cold\nCabinets full. Clothes clean quarters for the wash and fold\nKids grow bigger so the gear grows tight and old\nInflation triggers so the prices grow go figure\nBills like William til your will’s like debt that\nLives longer than you. Collectors never forget and your\nSaid assets are your child’s regrets Diamond\nBaguets get got for forclosure threats. Those are\nGrown folks fears swinging over ya head. Better\nThat than the water you continue to tread. At a\nJob you continue to dread. Or better yet, they say\nLove your work and never work a day in your life. They say\nBe your own boss and your doing it right. I say\nSheeeeeit whatever gets you through it at night. Because\nDoctors Dealers even emcees\nPonder on all life’s complexities. But\nCan’t see the forest for the evergreen trees. So\nThey collect leaves. But when collects leave\nDoctors dealers even emcees\nRoll up there sleeves and put in work. You gotta\nHold on tight just to climb that ladder. With your\nMind on your money. And money, money matters\nImma live forever now how about you\nWanna live better now fuck a Gucci sweater now\nGotta save the cheddar now money cash bread dough\nRise like yeast whether you fast or feast\nwhoever saves most needs the least and vice versa\nNo time in your nice watch no cash in your nice purse\nWhy you putting thangs over self and health. put your\nLoot back in your pocket I’m talkin bout wealth Money\nGrip. Since you working for your money get it in. Make it\nDo what it do cause you aint fina win unil your\nMoney work for you. And please know that Old money\nBitch slaps new with the gold that it used to\nBe backed by now are we that fly. My people\nMighta mined the gold but that gold aint mine. So I would\nSay nice try better luck next time. You want a\nLong dollar? Maybe then invest that dime because\nDoctors Dealers even emcees\nPonder on all life’s complexities. But\nCan’t see the forest for the evergreen trees. So\nThey collect leaves. But when collects leave\nDoctors dealers even emcees\nRoll up there sleeves and put in work. You gotta\nHold on tight just to climb that ladder. With your\nMind on your money. And money, money matters\nLemon to a lime a lime to a lemon\nYou fucking with my money I’mma turn into a gremlin\nA lime to a lemon a lemon to a lime the same\nWay time is money… money is time.\nLemon to a lime a lime to a lemon\nIf you wasting you money that’s the start of your ending\nA lime to a lemon a lemon to a lime the same\nWay time is money… money is time.\nNow you could\nTurn bread to fish and water to wine. But you\nCan’t turn the sun dial from 10 to 9. You can\nThrow on a throw back and press rewind but it’ll\nNever be the same sunshine. Looking up long\nEnough you might just go blind. These aint just dope\nRhymes. These are facts I don’t just opine. Now if your\nPast keep you from presently planning for the future you a\nPawn that’ll never see the 8th rank line. I’m trying to\nRaise two queens and protect a king since a\nRook like Bishop I been doing my thing aye\nNight. But since every game ceases I’d rather be the\nHand that hits clocks and moves pieces\nDoctors Dealers even emcees\nPonder on all life’s complexities. But\nCan’t see the forest for the evergreen trees. So\nThey collect leaves. But when collects leave\nDoctors dealers even emcees\nRoll up there sleeves and put in work. You gotta\nHold on tight just to climb that ladder. With your\nMind on your money. And money, money matters
