M.A.D.T.

Broken people change over a dollar these days
Account bounce, you get stomped out no matter the amount
My mama say I need to do something with my life
Trust me I am and it's about time that I get it right
All the late nights, study all of the great lights to show myself approved
Just drop the music, keep it moving, not cartooning in the news
This my viewpoint off a few joints
Tell 'em I need new coin, he the new voice
Speak to the heart, the soul
This a warm up for when it get cold
Look up, down, left, right
Not a slice of bread in sight for my niggas doing life
Off inside this 9 to 5 shift, change, laid off
How I'm gone get this paid off?
After all I then made y'all
And I can't take a day off

I need the money, money need it all the time
That's what they tell me, tell me what I need to shine
But I'm a star, brighter than you've ever seen
You want me give up everything for a piece of green
I need the money, money need it all the time
That's what they tell me, tell me what they need to shine
But I'm a star, star I need to realign

I think they testing me
Can't let 'em get the best of me
Don't care if you ahead of me
Pretty soon you'll catch fatigue
Take a sec to breathe
That's how the ball rolls in this league
Cash rules everything around me
Gotta share it with my brethren, watch and duck all the heathens
He seething over your blessings and stressing out every second?
Ooh, you in need of a little bit of resting
Staying in the Westin? Nah it's the Rotex Ktown
No where to stay now
Short term, long distance
12 months later it's different
The choices we make is living in conditions not a pot to piss in
I'm suspicious, premonitions from the Spirit make me feel like I'm delirious
Mama asking, "Are you serious?"
Wolf a witness, Z a witness, you a witness to the gifts it's out of pocket
Pocket watchers watches stopping, time standing still
The ills, we kill for bills

Broken people change over a dollar these days
Account bounce, you get stomped out no matter the amount
My mama say I need to do something with my life
Trust me I am and it's about time that I get it right
I need the money, money need it all the time
That's what they tell me, tell me what I need to shine
But I'm a star, brighter than you've ever seen
You want me give up everything for a piece of green
I need the money, money need it all the time
That's what they tell me, tell me what they need to shine
But I'm a star, star I need to realign
