(intro)
\nYo, check this out, man. This ain't just some pretty shit to bob your head to, man. This is serious stuff, man. These kids are running around here crazy. Everybody's standing around talking about the next generation after us. They're crazy, they're crazy. But nobody want to tell them nothing. The teachers ain't telling them nothing. I don't trust the schools, I don't trust nobody. Somebody's gotta tell them
\nCheck it out

\n(verse 1)
\nSaid I hope you grow to be smarter than me homie
\nI got gold if you want it and I'ma tell you like he told me
\nDig for knowledge dawg, cause is nothing as precious
\nCount your blessing when reflecting and nothing to exists
\nTo keep your pearls far from swine unless it drive you crazy
\nKeep your answer yes or no, more than that is just shady
\nAnd all the worry in this world it ain't going change tomorrow
\nBut he who increases his wisdom also increases his sorrow
\nGive me what you owe if you got it now to pay your debt
\nOr else you fall asleep and who you owe it take your bed
\nWhen harvest come reserve some for cold December
\nIf you give you best forget and if you get you best remember
\nSeek your council from the wise and try to kick it
\nThe words of a fool - its bitter venom like the oath of the wicked
\nWhere there's lightning there the thunder will come
\nAnd see a fool is a fool, there's nothing new if it's up under the sun
\n
\n(chorus)
\nReal riches don't rust plus trust me if glitters it's dust
\nYou can start all day, but aim for getting it done
\nReal riches don't rust if glitters it's dust
\nGlimmers quicker than your fingers can touch
\nReal riches don't rust plus trust me if glitters it's dust
\nYou can start all day, but aim for getting it done
\nReal riches don't rust if glitters it's dust
\nGlimmers quicker than your fingers can touch
\n
\n(verse 2)
\nThey say regardless of the consequences you trust truly
\nBut a good woman who can find her, if you can find her
\nShe's above movies, who knows the value of a thing extreme profoundness
\nHear the man looking for truth, beware the man who's swayed. Found it
\nFoolish heart muses to himself "there isn't a God."
\nYou can't trust me with a little, never trust me with a lot
\nA good name's better than gold, gold in cages still a cage
\nDon't let the sun set on your anger, every labor gained to wage
\nEven the blind man can read the writing on the wall
\nLiken to every life a little rain must fall
\nPlus consider maybe faith and love is a verb. Disease is deceased
\nRemember God feeds the birds, no matter who says it
\nIf it don't make sense delete it
\nThat I don't even have to say it but he knows it well when he sees it
\nRemember always to conduct yourself with strangers
\nLove God with all your heart, mind, body, and strength and love your neighbor
\n
\n(chorus)
\nReal riches don't rust plus trust me if glitters it's dust
\nYou can start all day, but aim for getting it done
\nReal riches don't rust if glitters it's dust
\nGlimmers quicker than your fingers can touch
\nReal riches don't rust plus trust me if glitters it's dust
\nYou can start all day, but aim for getting it done
\nReal riches don't rust if glitters it's dust
\nGlimmers quicker than your fingers can touch
\n
\n(verse 3)
\nSee love's like physics, gotta give it if you catch it
\nIt's an action and a light. Wisdom witnessed the prison pass it
\nIf you miss it you living backwards and all is done in vain
\nRather nibble twigs, what love is than feast with aim
\nThe weak wears a complaint faint and win and if he falls
\nSee the fool at the gate has answers after the city falls
\nLet the foolish try wisdom, guard words around children
\nAnger empties out a warehouse. Knowledge you'll feel it
\nWisdom founded that house that stand on understand it's pillars
\nIf you judge you've discerned it burned by the flame you kill with
\nNot cause you fit it cause you can filter with knowledge
\nIntelligence is just sports. See wisdom's bigger than college
\nAnd don't forget it ever. It gets colder the higher you look
\nNot cause you read it somewhere. A lot of liars write books
\nAnd grow by the love. Live and breathe by the truth
\nCause time will break it all down you know the seed by the fruit
\n
\n(chorus)
\nReal riches don't rust plus trust me if glitters it's dust
\nYou can start all day, but aim for getting it done
\nReal riches don't rust if glitters it's dust
\nGlimmers quicker than your fingers can touch
\nReal riches don't rust plus trust me if glitters it's dust
\nYou can start all day, but aim for getting it done
\nReal riches don't rust if glitters it's dust
\nGlimmers quicker than your fingers can touch\n\n
