M-O-N-E-Y Make it, take it, save it 'til you die The way today's the same view in every eye You're chasing paper Raise it very high or you're just getting by M-O-N-E-Y Make it, take it, save it 'til you die The way today's the same view in every eye You're chasing paper Raise it very high or you're just getting by Life's monotony, I don't know how to stop it All I got is fluff at the bottom of my pocket For time, I'm rocking the same jeans Broke, insane, old London, stuck with the same scene Same dreams, same anger, same screams Different people find different ways to make the same dream Road man shot green, politicians plot schemes Means to the same ends, it ain't what it seems Work through the day, work 'til the night It's hurting to say, sometimes I lose my purpose in life Then find the words and I write my poems I flip the scripture 'cause I'm an artist tryna see the bigger picture The rat race, to me, all of it's crap Only going straight for the cheddar, you get caught in a trap A cold world, everybody wears ice Satan buys soul, sold at sale price M-O-N-E-Y, make it, take it, save it 'til you die The way today's the same view in every eye You're chasing paper, raise it very high or you're just getting by M-O-N-E-Y, make it, take it, save it 'til you die The way today's the same view in every eye You're chasing paper, raise it very high or you're just getting by Money can't buy love and happiness but it buys honeys and jewels My life's one big job and money's a tool Yeah, I'm brash but remainin' cool 'Cause they say a bad workman blames his tools Paper chase, I ain't playin' the game I heard money's the route to all evil, so stay in your lane (Linkside) I see the diversion, read the signs Not too hungry for dough 'cause I feed my mind Heed the wise, believe my eyes and I reckon Hunger leads to greed, greed leads to obsession Am I the only one that holds the view? In England, the Queen's head's controllin' you The whole world's no different, pound, dollar or yen It's got unto men, women, killin' and rottin' in death When you die, what you got in the end? But maybe I feel this way 'cause I ain't got it to spend M-O-N-E-Y Make it, take it, save it 'til you die The way today's the same view in every eye You're chasing paper, raise it very high or you're just getting by M-O-N-E-Y Make it, take it, save it 'til you die The way today's the same view in every eye You're chasing paper, raise it very high or you're just getting by My book ain't cheap, it's priceless blood I ain't dense, even if I don't make pounds, I still make sense Not fifty, not just get rich and die tryin' But sayin' I don't want it at all, then I'm lyin' Artists become joke, rappers go commercial They paper chase and go in a circle Think 'bout that as I rap the verse Look at man like Mase, he should go back to church Everybody wants to get in the scene But when I go to sleep, I don't have the American dream My eyes ain't green, you do what you gotta do I don't watch that, ain't got time to keep clocking you No pay when I'm tearing a jam But I know one day, I'll be able to take care of my fam Only a man in modern times that we're running in Rain, I work hard 'til my P's come flooding in M-O-N-E-Y, make it, take it, save it 'til you die The way today's the same view in every eye You're chasing paper, raise it very high or you're just getting by M-O-N-E-Y, make it, take it, save it 'til you die The way today's the same view in every eye You're chasing paper, raise it very high or you're just getting by
