For The Money

Uh
Power of the dollar
Money make the world go 'round
Moneyvation
Cash rule everything around me

Why niggas on the block still sell that blow
Why niggas sell they soul
Why we take so little for a show
Strive so hard to be on the road (Yeah)
Naked pussy hug a poll, while it walk with a limp and pimp that hoe
I know it sounds fucked up, sometimes that's how it goes
Up all on night for the grave yard shift
So I can pay the rent (Money)
My nigga be digging on tracks, so he can pay for that ring (Money)
Rich on TV act a fool, broke people think that ain't cool
My dude be pushing them whips, he sell em whether used or new (Yeah)
Why we take them business trips, why they pass that collection plate
Why child support rape your set
Why your baby moms needs that check (Gimmie)
It's why niggas get fly cars and try to get these broads
These broads they see them stars, leave real niggas and go get frauds
It's why some niggas compete (Cash)
It's why some bitches compete (Cash)
And the mentality is, doe or die, play for keeps (Yeah)
That's why we prey on the weak
Run around the corner to avoid that heat
Why I put my life to these beats
Why a baby got murdered on Mattapan streets

That's why we do it for the money
(Do it for that money, do it for that money money)
(Do it for that money, do it for that money money)
That's why we do it for the money
That's why we do it for the money
(Do it for that money, do it for that money money)
(Do it for that money, do it for that money money)
That's why we do it for the money

Yo
Tax deductions, medicaid, medicare, ain't no better way
Late fees, paid fees, registrants fees, initiate fees
Student loans, loaned homes, bankruptcy and foreclose
Pornos, whore shows, a hundred for hour keep the door closed
Two grand so she can model, another grand she takes the top off
Five cents for cans and bottles, two hundred for a used iPhone
Tip cups, tip the barber, tip the cabbie, tip the driver
Tip the waiter, tip the doctor
Now we tip cashiers at McDonald's (uhh)
Payola, pay for play, pay for features, pay DJ's
Pay promoter, pay the label, pay my check nigga I don't play
Gas prices, stock market, air Jordan, gotta cop that new shit
Winter discount, summer discount
Sunday paper coupon booklets
Paid speeches, campaign trails, political campaign tours
National conventions, lie to the people, celebrity endorsed
That's why we obey no law, tell our kids you gotta get yours
Why Obama can't stop that war, why they tax the poor and ask for more

That's why we do it for the money
(Do it for that money, do it for that money money)
(Do it for that money, do it for that money money)
That's why we do it for the money
That's why we do it for the money
(Do it for that money, do it for that money money)
(Do it for that money, do it for that money money)
That's why we do it for the money

For the money (For the money)
For the money (For the money)
For the money (For the money)
For the money
