[Intro]
Let's listen to an important public service message
[Chorus: We the People]
When you gonna realize, money is the king of the land?
The color of your skin doesn't matter when you got it in your hand
[Verse 1: Jarv & We the People]
His name was Sonny- Least that’s what he was called by his buddies
He wanted to find a way to get paid and make crazy money
He had a pretty face and a high IQ, a smooth talker with grace
That knew all of the right moves to make women swoon
He was convinced he had a gift
So he moved to the city, hе would soon be a pimp
All them other simps bеtter watch they backs
And guard their hoes cause sweet Sonny’s coming for cash
He said, “I’m gonna kick, I’m gonna bite”
He met a girl on the strip and turned her out the first night
Her name was Christine, she was a 16
And naïve enough, she couldn’t see that he was still green
On that fast track, Sonny was learning it as he went
Chris would gather the slats while he sat back on the bench
He’d have her working twelve hour shifts like, “bitch-
You’re gonna make daddy a millionaire, you’re gonna make me rich”
[Chorus: We the People]
When you gonna realize, money is the king of the land?
The color of your skin doesn't matter when you got it in your hand
[Verse 2: Jarv & We the People]
A couple years passed and as times wore fatal
Sonny had amassed him a five horse stable
But Christine was still his bottom bitch, she had it sewn
She even had a master key to Sonny’s lavish home
Still, she felt she wasn’t receiving her dues
She had a plan, she’d be damned if she didn’t see it through
If she could get Sonny out the pic for a bit
She’d get her mitts on the cash and take a one-way trip
She said, “I’m gonna kick, I’m gonna bite”
Cause the caper she devised would take shape tonight
She flagged down a roller and told him to hold tight
She unfolded a plot that was coated in gold light
She said, “I know you’re tryna pin Sonny for a wrap
I have a fool-proof strategy to do just that
First, you go undercover and you stay where you’re at
I’ll tell him I just turned a trick and that the john pulled a jack
I’m sayin’, Sonny’s set to come searching for the scratch
He gon’ try to scrap and then you flash your badge
I’ll testify and Sonny’ll fall flat
Then I’ll snatch the cash and we’ll match half and half"
[Chorus: We the People]
When you gonna realize, money is the king of the land?
The color of your skin doesn't matter when you got it in your hand
[Verse 3: Jarv & We the People]
She ran down the con and Sonny was seeing red
He was gonna find this John and he was gonna crack his head
If you’re messing with his wad, that shit was worthy of death
He hopped inside of his hog and left Chris watching the nest
He was moving like a cruise missile, straight for the-
Location she gave him where the player pulled the Georgia
And there he was, steady holding up a lamp post
Sonny flew outta the coupe and grabbed hold of the man’s throat
“I’m gonna kick, I’m gonna bite”
Sonny drew back his fist and busted him in his eye
Then, “woop, woop”, the man pulled out the badge
“You’ve assaulted an officer” he said as he laughed
Needless to say Sonny got cuffed and booked
The pig met with Chris to exchange to loot
“Lemme have a look” he said as he grabbed the bag
Then he pistol whipped Chris and snatched the whole stash
[Chorus: We the People]
When you gonna realize, money is the king of the land?
The color of your skin doesn't matter when you got it in your hand
