Power of Money

I want the money, -, yeah-yeah-yeah (me too)
I want the power, -, yeah-yeah-yeah (me too)
Hustle every hour, -, yeah-yeah-yeah (I am)
Do you see 'em doin' it like this -, no-no? (Yeah)

I want the money, - (yeah), yeah-yeah-yeah (me too)

I heard it's over for trap -, word to these rap -
Word to the internet (what?), I've never been into that
I know - doin' life sentences, some of 'em innocent (for real)
But they'll never tell on they man (what?), where them - at? (Ayy)

Who came through in that drop heavy before the deal? Me
Who bought himself out of his contract (me) for half a mil'? Me
Who kept the streets alive? Me, who put his - on? Me
Who rode with you, right or wrong? Me, and repped the streets in every song

I know Young when Meech was free, talk to Meek before DC
I dodged a life sentence, - so can't - discourage me (at all)
Get me a big ol' bag of money if you tryin' to encourage me
They say it cost to be the boss, well, you say I paid the fee, -

Walk in the studio and enter the booth, talk to the microphone (mic check)
Tell 'em 'bout your life and about the - you be standin' on (I am)
How you put your - up (I did), how you - a thousand - (true)
But you never leavin' home (I can't do it)

-Es is - and family is family, for real (facts)
Rappin' was cool, but dope what was payin' the bills (facts)
Friends they hate, they frenemies, they're not your enemies (nah)
They really do like you, they hate, just envious energy

You know the power of money (money), the power of fame
- On a ni- (for real), knowin' he lame
Damn to say it ain't personal for the shoes and the purses
It's like me sellin' a verse to a lame, the money ain't worth it, I can't do it

We puttin' the CDs in sandwich bags - and like
Pullin' up in - trap like right there, like
Ayy, I won't hire no more - street team
Like the Street Team was me and my guys, you know I'm sayin'?

I'm jumpin' out givin' - my -, hand for hand
And I knew they had to respect it, know I'm sayin'?
Then we went Cocaine Muzik 2, 3, 4, 4 and a half
Then we went CM5, CM6, CM7
Then I said I was gon' quit at CM8, then I came back, -

I want the money, -, yeah-yeah-yeah (252 grams)
I want the power, -, yeah-yeah-yeah (this - may be over ya head or under ya head)
Hustle every hour, -, yeah-yeah-yeah
