​greed Lyrics by ​iotosh

0

[Verse 1]
I been using the wrong drive
Told myself getting money and fame is what my life
Is about, I can't survive or live without the paper
But it's importance is so evident, evidence in my residence
Mummy breathes money like oxygen elements;
Breathes and speaks it, cause it would make life better
For the green, she a go-getter
But when the green withers away, it leaves an old lady in pain
Mama, I keep on praying I don't make you work so hard in vain
I watch that lady struggle, I try my best to help but I'm trapped in this bubble
To see my dreams and aspirations you'd need a Hubble
Telescope, watched my family crumble and I'm trapped under rubble
But I'm made of iron like ore, and I make beats hot like Earth's core
Maybe the more beats I make, the more I can sell or lease them for
Of course I'm gonna try, who are you to judge me?
We both the same in the eyes of Great One who's above me

[Bridge]
Then this bredda DMs me on Soundcloud, "Yo bro, I like your tracks!"
Now, this some old beat I made way back
He asked to use it for a tape; I see he got a pro account
So I figure he could spare some cash
I reply, "Fifty US for a lease" then he replies
"Man, I ain't got no money to buy no beat
I'm just spreading good vibes, I don't want to make a profit, it's for enjoyment; ain't that what music is supposed to be?"

[Verse 2]
Told him he could have it, left me embarrassed, I couldn't speak Then I asked myself since when has my heart gotten so weak?
This is real life, money isn't a want, it's a need--
Then I paused-- am I being consumed by greed?
I mean, I know some green could help my future seed--"
And it was then I saw what Mama has always seen
My sister and I, we've been her drive
She's the very reason that we're even still alive--
Made up my mind--
We haffi eat a food, so fuck who want a beat for free
You haffi pay the fee, if you can't stand to that, then take a seat
And Teflon told me never undervalue my craft, I'll only get better
So, as we're speaking, I'll soon reach my peak
Sum it up, do the maths, like a Kartel a speak
Got to keep working hard, mi a ball hard like mi weep
'Til I'm getting paid to do a show every week, only then I'll confront myself about if it was need

Or is it greed?

[Outro]
I can't afford to confront it now...
Have to wait until I reach a certain place where I can look back and actually think cause right now I can't afford to...
Too broke...
