So, can I get a price check? Yeah, can I get a price check?
On your life and the side effects
Of the money, the greed, the debt, the schemes
Check one, two, check two, three
Get a mic check, yeah, I'd rather get a mic check
D-rapht coming live and direct
From the West to the South, to the North to the East
Check one, two, check two, three
[Verse 1]
Man, my mother was never made of the money
Iron maiden, never running away from her sons and
Daughters, always had food and water
Never knew how she afforded my Jordan's but bought 'em
I wore them 'til water would leak through the rips
Never looked poor like Oliver Twist, never wanted more
Or knock on your door like I was a Mormon
Swore to never be down or caught in a rip
Nah, when money came, it was gone with the wind
On a shopping list longer than the Lord of the Rings
Ha, a sunny day, you ain't short of a thing
When you're born into the game holding four of the kings
Yeah, believe it, my dad was a musician
By bringing a bass drum to cook up in the kitchen
Wouldn't feed us with all his get rich scheming
Feeding his demons, life's a bitch
To skyrocket, he forgot all the people in his locket
For a profit, leave another man rotten
Notes in his pocket nailed in his coffin
'Cause yesterday's pain ain't forgotten
[Hook]
So, can I get a price check? Yeah, can I get a price check?
On your life and the side effects
Of the money, the greed, the debt, the schemes
Check one, two, check two, three
Get a mic check, yeah, I'd rather get a mic check
D-rapht coming live and direct
From the West to the South, to the North to the East
Check one, two, check two, three
[Verse 2]
I knew this girl that you would sell your soul for
She would control your world like the Cold War
No dole form, sworn for the riches erection
Oh, you gotta Rex or a Lexus?
Yeah, the temptress will give you attention
And hence, all you have to do is mention the money
It's like sex; you got none, you want it
Now she's all up in your wallet for the money
[Hook]
So, can I get a price check? Yeah, can I get a price check?
On your life and the side effects
Of the money, the greed, the debt, the schemes
Check one, two, check two, three
Get a mic check, yeah, I'd rather get a mic check
D-rapht coming live and direct
From the West to the South, to the North to the East
Check one, two, check two, three
[Verse 3]
Was always taught the root of all evil
He who will steal from the pocket of his people
Eagle-eyed, survive in the dark
Ravenous sharks, welcome to the business
Oh, I live this, knocked off the hinges
Our offspring addicted to syringes of money
Yeah, axe wielding civilian children kill for
Some Paris Hilton million dollar money
Some of these kids live the sunniest life
Still running from the law like Bonnie and Clyde
Still deal, still pedaling pills and rock
Steal for what? You got all the dollar bills you want
[Bridge]
("The money" "The-the-the-the-the money")
It makes the world go round, it makes the world go
("The money" "The-the-the-the-the money")
It makes the girls go down, it makes the girls go
("The money" "The-the-the-the-the money")
It makes the world go round, it makes the world go
("The money" "The-the-the-the-the money")
It makes the girls go down
