Dolla signs, the values we respect
Living by their standard that they taught us
You already know what it is
If you don't it's depending on the way that you was brought up
Gotta keep it real with the kids
For centuries our people been tortured
Don't need to be complainin' bout a thing
At it easy if you think you had it bad, they had it harder
[Verse 1]
Weigh your actions out when they the pyramids
Who the f** you think had built a palace for the kids
Stay exaggerating like you do with everything
Woulda thought that they was goin' through it everyday
Every task ain't as hard as it looks
They ain't have cars, had to walk there by foot
Just imagine how long that sh** took
Then they couldn't even buy food that was already cooked
Now they sayin' they a hustler cause they saw it with an 8-ball
Claimin' movin' bricks ain't like the ones that built the great wall
You can act like you don't know and be the only one to play dumb
Think we started from a ship, the motherland is where we came from
That's before they decided they would save up

If you don't it's depending on the way that you was brought up
Gotta keep it real with the kids
For centuries our people been tortured
Don't need to be complainin' bout a thing
At it easy if you think you had it bad, they had it harder
[Bridge]
You think you had it bad, they had it harder
You think you had it bad, they had it harder
Don't need to be complainin' bout a thing
They was risking their lives just to maintain order
You think got it bad, they had it harder
You think got it bad, they had it harder
Don't need to be complainin' bout a thing
They was risking their lives just to maintain order

[Verse 2]
Sittin on my conscience
Different type of conscious
Worship those with money
sh** on those with nothing
They ain't think I'd make it
Treat it like I ain't sh**
I ain't constipated
That makes me look anxious
Spread it like my fire
Never been a liar
Swear I been a profit
My name ain't aliyah
Gotta get this profit
My boys keep on pillin'
Mama worked now gotta move her out the projects
Everybody know the police out here wylin'
k**in' n***as even children gettin' bodied
This is why all the rules I do not follow
They just showin' us the power of the dollar
They just showin' us the power of the dollar
