Greens

(A nigga always been about the money, bout the money
Bout the money, bout the money)

While you fluke and fake it
I bake the realest shit
You can't catch a flake
Claiming my stake in the game
Federal notes reserved for chasing
And I don't pursue the Hennessy
Penning drunken deliveries
Going 85, praying I stay safe
Cuz I'm just tryna make it
Flip a Mercedes outta Franklins
Even if the passenger is vacant, that's confirmation
I refuse to be complacent with waiting, waste of my time
That's why I stay in one lane in the highway
HOV, that's my lane
I'm not the patient type
While you sleep on a gurney
I'm burning rubber to catch a flight to get there a quarter to nine
You wanna get it, get it early 'fore they get in line
They won't hesitate to get it first
Fuck yo state of mind
They know, we know, you know, I know
(I gotta take care of mine)
Peace is at the finish line and we race thru a field of mines
Unless you got wings, you gotta risk it all
Be ready to lose a leg in order to stand tall
We might die tomorrow, we on speed dial when Earth calls
It's dark walls but bright at the end of the hall
So why you stressing
Instead you better tally up them blessings
I was supposed to die when I was born, that's a test
You gotta fight against the odds to survive, that's the message
People will watch you burn alive
Gotta keep discretion
Discredit what's mine if I ever discuss my methods
Therefore before I speak I make sure what I preach is compelling

(A nigga always been about the money, bout the money
Bout the money, bout the money)

Now on this surface I switched up my thinking cuz I had to
I'm switching up my diet, I'm supposed to
Before we die, don't act like I ain't told you
All I aim to achieve is growth
In different ways then what these folks boast
For different reasons than them making toasts
I know I need the dough just to make it expand
Therefore I knead the dough, form the bread in my hand
The game that you see is chess
I see we all gotta eat, understand
It just became a simpler plan
I could just spice up a beat
Cooking out similar pans
Cooking up different flows
Better train for all currents
See you kayaking up my stream to see my point
I know it
In every line I'm going
Up to the sky I'm blowing
Hope every line bestow it
I've chosen my destiny
Step in the mind of a poet
I wear my pride and I show it
That's the skin color, the gold and all the ma'fucking cream
So what the fuck do you mean
I'll educate myself and my seed
Show love to my queen and pursue the green
Let me roll in dough, how y'all roll off beans
These federal notes are more than a need
So on the blue benjis the reddest of beams
All for the money hunting

Money hungry niggas gunning for hunneds

Coming for the lumpiest of sums
The one in a million wanting a million and one
I told Aaliyah I'll see her when I'm done nigga

(A nigga always been about the money
Bout the money, bout the money, bout the money)

Cash rules everything around (A nigga)
So how could you not be (Bout the money, bout the money, bout the money)
