I say
The money don't make the man
The man make the money
I ain't addicted to the dollar bills
More addicted to the dreams they fulfill
Haha
Ehhyeaaa

In my neighborhood money was God
We added them dollar signs
Right next to the crosses
We crossed the line we cross the law
Searchin' for Allah
Tryna' find my way to Yahweh
Through the freedom in these dollars
Metro Dade was like a demon
Tryna' keep me hell bound
Hell naw
I'm reachin' for the light that got me spell bound
Gotta get mine get mine get mine (Gimme' that gimme' that)
They say the cream will always rise to the top
Baby I'm that cremas
Been a long time since my innocence died (Died)
And I been stuck in purgatory
Stackin' up my inventory
Wish it was a different story
Wish that I could kick it witchu mo'
Bring out the Remy and the bones
Convo and Coronas
What is that aroma?
What is that vibe that the money can't buy?
I'm gamblin' and we got more memories ahead
Cause' if I can't share witcha (What?)
Money ain't shit

Money ain't shit
And religion ain't either
Better off broke
Might meet Jesus
Power and respect is that what it takes?
And will a nigga ever see them pearly gates?
Cause' money ain't shit
And religion ain't either
Better off broke
Might meet Jesus
Power and respect is that what it takes?
And will a nigga ever see them pearly gates?

(Unh)
Cause' money get you out the 'jects (The 'jects)
Got'em mad and upset (They upset)
You ever play with me (Don't play with me)
Bitch I'ma cut off ya neck (Yah)
Woke up early and threw on a set (Set)
Group of bitches I chew through the set
I been runnin' 'round (Runnin' 'round)
All my niggas up next (Yeah)
This one for the jet I ain't flown it yet (Yet yeah)
This one for the yacht smokin' on the deck (That loud)
Pull up on my niggas tell'em stay blessed (We blessed)
Gotta get the check
That power and respect
Yeah

I wanna talk to God
But the preacher say I need a fee
I'm just a common man
So why you niggas gotta envy me
I had a dollar and some change for some nachos
Walk to the store the block lookin' like Narcos
I gotta dodge crooked cops and these slut bitches
They want this crooked ass dick make them lose senses
I know God I knew God since a little one
And every time He spoke
Spread love was the key sum
Man I swear man a dollar get you mo' problems
Got a big ass crib
Got hella sinks
But if you don't keep your mind focused
Then your crib will sink
I'ma f*ckin' prophet
That's why I rap a lot
Shout out to Scarface
I came from a hard place
Three oh five Dade
Young niggas raised the crime rate
You can't buy respect even on a good day
So my advise
Is focus on what you could say
Money ain't shit

And religion ain't either
Better off broke
Might meet Jesus
Power and respect is that what it takes?
And will a nigga ever see them pearly gates?
Cause' money ain't shit
And religion ain't either
Better off broke
Might meet Jesus
Power and respect is that what it takes?
And will a nigga ever see them pearly gates?

(Unh)
Cause' money get you out the 'jects (The 'jects)
Got'em mad and upset (They upset)
You ever play with me (Don't play with me)
Bitch I'ma cut off ya neck (Yah)
Woke up early and threw on a set (Set)
Group of bitches I chew through the set
I been runnin' 'round (Runnin' 'round)

Pull up on my niggas tell'em stay blessed (We blessed)
