Money & Music

Money and music

Money and music

Nicca I doos this—

“Don’t you mean you do this?”

No, nicca I doos this

Money and music

Got me actin’ real foolish

Get it and spend it

Stack it and spend it

No matter how you get it

You gon’ have to spend it

It wasn’t meant to go with us

So you gon’ have to leave it

If it ain’t in your account

Then I pray you got insurance

’Cause death’s expensive

Yeah, that sh*t be crazy

And I wouldn’t wish it on nobody

I pray to see another day

Just so I can feed my family

Even though they say we free

Still feel like we walk in shackles

Invisible handcuffs

They lockin’ us down

Throw us behind bars

Or put us in the ground

Tryna strike fear in us

But I ain’t fearin’ none of ’em

I stand strong—

Like I’m U.S. Navy, Army Corps tough

They can trap your body

But never let ’em trap soul

The mind is powerful

So use it wisely, take control

Most of this knowledge

Came from streets, not from school

Lot of folks get rich

And never graduate through

But I’ma teach my son different

Keep him locked in and true

Live, learn, and grow—

’Cause your worst enemy is you

Lack of education

Can be a downfall too

So I’m speakin’ from the soul

Listen close—I’m preachin’, fool

Yeah, I’m preachin’…

But not from a pulpit view

I’m preachin’ peace

Peace be with you
