Root, Pt. Trés Lyrics by You-C

7-0-Gr8

2016

Fonzie
Yeah, Yeager
[Verse 1: You-C]
They say the good die young, the bad live old
If that's the case, then tell me why am I still here?
Lusting for something that people die over daily
It's crazy how a deceased president, can turn one shady
Yet, it attracts certain pleasures in our lives
Like taking the baddest of women, converting them into our wives
And everyone who once loved you, starts to strife
It's an addiction that kills more than China White
But it's American green, the land of envy
Where opportunities mass, I swear to God it's plenty
God is in my pocket, so in him I trust
Am I truly giving praise, or is it flat out lust
Yes, why do I stress when there's not enough to go around
The same reason we go to war, it's going down
George Washington, Abe Lincoln
Alexander and Jackson, can't forget about Ben Franklin
[The Notorious B.I.G. skit:]
The more money you make, the more problems you get
And jealousy and envy, it's something that- comes with the territory
A lot of people-, it's just negative energy, like my man Puff say
It just surrounds you and makes you depressed
So- I gotta rap about it
And that's one of the bad things about the game, is when you get large even your friends are gonna turn against you
[Verse 2: Kel Jame$]
"Money, the root of evil!" A statement made by people
Who ain't got much, so how the fuck can we be equal
Digging an early grave, this money so lethal
They wanna gas me up, but I ain't running off no Diesel
Teacher asked me my dream and I wrote it on a easel
Said, "I wanna be rich and rich enough to teach you
How to get this money, cause your pockets looking light
How you teaching the class, but got no food to bite."
She got mad and failed me out of spite
See I can laugh now cause my pockets looking right
Cause I was out grinding on them cold winter nights
And I was burning candles when we had no lights
That's a struggle you will never understand
But it's all good, it was all in God's plan
I had to see the struggle to become a better man
Now the game's mine and it's in good hands. Teez
[The Notorious B.I.G. skit:]
[Verse 3: You-C]
I have seen what your addiction can bring
A nightmare full of death, plotted out by thieves
But at the same damn time, you bring tension at ease
I understand why certain women are on their knees
9 to 5 will give you a rush, cause no two days are alike
Except the 1st and 15th, pretty much
So while you hustle, I'm tryna get my mind in that right place
To coexist, now we can move in that right space
It's not a doubt on my mind
You are the single handed reason why most of my people have adapted to crime
It's a shame, I almost feel like crying
I can't complain because one time I felt like dying
Now that's all we have, a nation full of zombies
Your residence is evil, your job choice is like a hobby
Until they toe tag your body
I guess that's the way that it be
Root of all evil, part 3. YEAGER!!!
[The Notorious B.I.G. skit:]
[Bridge: You-C, x2]
You-C and Teezy_Ghee
Killing rappers on the M-I-C
Do it all for the love of the money
Do it all for the love of the money
[Outro: You-C]
Yeager!
Money, Music, and Masturbation coming to you soon
Shaz Krew, Flawless Leauge
YEAGER!!!
