(Intro)
|
I¡¯m no martyr
|
I did it for the money
|
But it¡¯s not worth much if you can¡¯t face yourself in the mirror
|
Respect is the ultimate currency
|
|
(Verse)
|
Some things don¡¯t change
|
I could try to do better but I¡¯m wasting the game
|
No better, I¡¯mma never change my ways
|
So I pick up a pen and I put it to the paper
|
Some might pick one in the air just to take away
|
The pain they face
|
As I face my struggles, straight this hustle
|
I know better, I¡¯mma never change my ways
|
|
(Pre-Chorus)
|
Now I make this good money
|
And I don¡¯t give a damn what they want from me
|
I never said ¡°I did for the money, did for the money¡±
|
|
(Chorus)
|
The root of evil calls
|
And the greed will make you fall
|
I¡¯ll never say ¡°I did for the money, did for the money¡±
|
I did for the money, did for the money
|
|
(Verse)
|
I¡¯m on a mission, got a vision how to get it in
|
I¡¯m getting sick, I¡¯m getting tired of predicaments
|
And I got that fire and I¡¯m about to set it off
|
Go away, now you¡¯re taking no loan
|
So I hustle a check just to get a little paper
|
But I won¡¯t suffer from the set of principle
|
I won¡¯t make the mistake
|
Of getting caught up for the fortune
|
Sell myself short just to sell my soul
|
I know better, I¡¯mma never change my ways
|
|
(Pre-Chorus)
|
Now I make this good money
|
And I don¡¯t give a damn what they want from me
|
I never said ¡°I did for the money, did for the money¡±
|
|
(Chorus x2)
|
The root of evil calls
|
And the greed will make you fall
|
I¡¯ll never say ¡°I did for the money, did for the money¡±
|
I did for the money, did for the money
|
|
(Outro)
|
Anybody who knows me knows my name
|
And it¡¯s above rap and be this spit star
|
I¡¯m just tryin to keep doin the music
|
Good music
|
Substance you know, send a message
|
If I¡¯m keepin 100% with myself then I¡¯m keepin it 100% for yall
|
Real recognizes real
|
|
But inevitably,
|
The further you run from yourself
|
The more exhausted you are when they catch up to you
|
And they do
|
