Money and Power

I want the money and the power (The money and the power)
Cause life is bout a dollar (My life is bout a dollar)
So I'm staying on my grind (Staying on my grind)
As if its my last hour (It's my last hour)

Am I the truth,
That's something you ain't even gotta ask
Something you should already know (You should know nigga)
I heard you was looking for the man goddamn homeboy here I go (Here I go)
Yea I'm accustomed too hate, accustomed to envy and jealousy (Yea)
All of that shit I embrace without them there's no me that's a certainty (That's a certainty)
Nightmares of things from the past, ghost with intentions of hurting me (Hurting me)
Surprised by the things that I do so authentic they thinking its perjury (They thinking it's perjury)
So many say that they real but I really don't think that they get it (They don't get it)
That's why I put pain in my raps I hope and pray that they feel it (I hope that they feel it)
Most can't dissect the message cause they cannot see past the kitchen (They cannot see)
They cannot see past the block, they cannot see past the pitching (They cannot see)
They cannot see past the whip, they cannot see past the stitching (Nigga you blind)
If I am the line and beside me two glocks does that mean that I have the vision (Do I got division)
Maybe that's over your head the thought is just too complicated (You missed it)
If you was my dawg we'd toast to success and be happy I made it (Nigga I made it)
They say that it cost to be boss so where's my receipt cause I paid it (I paid it)
Fame is just so overrated (Overrated)

I want the money and the power
Life is bout a dollar
So I'm on my grind as if it's my last hour
To find another nigga like myself you'd have to scour
Take it back a hundred years nigga dig up flowers
Just to tell the truth
There's not another soul to compete with me
Devil wears a red dress I hope that she creeps with me
Black tie Giorgio Armani tailor fit me
Even though you all resent me still you are not fucking with me, Look

I think there is no competition I said it I really do mean it (I really do mean it)
If you think you fucking with me wake up you must have been dreaming (Dreaming)
I know you niggaz is plotting, I know you niggaz is scheming (I know you scheming)
When I say that I'm bout my business my nigga you better believe it (You better believe it)
I'm bout that action you talking my nigga I'm already reaching
By the time you catch on my nigga I'm already squeezing
The fact is I hate to talk violence but ya'll dudes be trying my patience (Trying my patience)
I'd rather chase women and dollars than be in an cell wit fresh cases (Where the hoes at Trill)
How do you niggaz not know that to me you lil niggaz inferior (You inferior)
So far removed from the grind I don't even know when they got rid of you (When they got rid of you)
Some say I'm arrogant (I'm arrogant)
They get it confused with my confidence (With mat confidence)
I will not settle I want opulence (Yea)

I want the money and the power
Life is bout a dollar
So I'm on my grind as if it's my last hour
To find another nigga like myself you'd have to scour
Take it back a hundred years nigga dig up flowers
Just to tell the truth
There's not another soul to compete with me
Devil wears a red dress I hope that she creeps with me
Black tie Giorgio Armani tailor fit me
Even though you all resent me still you are not fucking with me, Look

Provocative lyrics (Provocative lyrics)
Profound in the way I deliver (The way I deliver)
I think that it's safe to say out of Virginia there's definitely no one iller (No one iller)
I asked a coworker to describe my music he said that it's prideful (He said that its prideful)
I said I put on for my city and I'm who these young niggaz ride for (Who they ride for)
So I wouldn't provoke (Nah)
I wouldn't annoy him or pester (
Cause we'll push the limit so far that we'll have you, your family and jury sequestered (Where they at)
And yea we go extra, (We go extra)
Especially when talking cheese (talking cheese)
All of this paper I got off this block standing right here in these dungarees (Right here nigga)
They said I couldn't do it, (I couldn't do it)
Promptly I showed them I did it (I did it)
Created a kingdom within the game, relinquish the throne when I'm finished (Nigga I did it)
My viewpoint at all times is to grind til I get it (Grind til I get it)
You discussing paper I'm with it (I'm wit it)

I want the money and the power
Life is bout a dollar
So I'm on my grind as if it's my last hour
To find another nigga like myself you'd have to scour
Take it back a hundred years nigga dig up flowers
Just to tell the truth
There's not another soul to compete with me
Devil wears a red dress I hope that she creeps with me
Black tie Giorgio Armani tailor fit me
