When the money goes, will the honeys stay?
|
When the grey skies replace the sunny days
|
Hey, hey, hey
|
|
When the top back, I know I got that
|
But when I'm locked up...
|
...Guru, let me get that again
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
When the money goes, will the honeys stay?
|
When the grey skies replace the sunny days
|
Hey, hey, hey
|
|
I got it now...
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
When my top back, I know I got that
|
But when I'm locked up, and I'm not back
|
And I collect call, will she accept that?
|
Will she stay down, through my setbacks?
|
Through my downfalls, and my downpours
|
When them FBI boys is coming down for us
|
I know you riding with a nigga through the Gucci store
|
All through Prada, but what if I had nada?
|
Would the babe even bother if the block got hotter?
|
In the never-ending game that puts the cops versus robbers?
|
Am I in clouds or are you just along for the ride?
|
When I'm blasting out the window, will you grab the wheel and drive?
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
When the money goes, will the honeys stay?
|
When the grey skies replace the sunny days
|
Hey, hey, hey
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
When I fall off, and the drought hits
|
And it knocks me, out new outfits
|
And the charm you got gotta hit the pawn shop
|
And you feel like crying, but be strong and stop
|
It was all good just a week ago
|
Now I'm wearing the same clothes a week in a row
|
Trying to scratch back
|
Would she take a little check from her little job like,
|
"Nigga, you can have that"
|
You had belief in me, or would you beef with me?
|
Is the good life the only thing you needed from me?
|
Would she roll out? Is she so out when the stoves out?
|
Or will she hold out?
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
When the money goes, will the honeys stay?
|
When the grey skies replace the sunny days
|
Hey, hey, hey
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
And your friends know what Hov get it in for
|
But let's just say that I didn't ride Benzo
|
Would you say, "Girl, why you still with him for?"
|
And if so, babe, why you around them hoes?
|
All they see is paper, not potential
|
And they don't have a nigga's back when he's in limbo
|
And I ain't asking you to do a life bid with me
|
I don't want you to die for me, baby, live with me
|
I'm just saying, when the going gets rough
|
Don't forget all the shines at the time I was showing up
|
Show me the same love you showed me when blowing up
|
You told me it was Roc for life, then throw it up
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
When the money goes, will the honeys stay?
|
When the grey skies replace the sunny days
|
Hey, hey, hey
|
