[Intro: Tafawa Balewa]
*I wish to make our position plain beyond any matter of doubt as regards the African continent
We have absolutely no aggressive intentions
We shall never impose ourselves upon any other country
And shall treat every African territory, big or small, as our equals
Because, we honestly feel that it is only on that basis of equality
That peace can be maintained in our continent
When we hear the words crying out for peace
We may receive the inspiration to deal with these impractical problems
Which will inevitably persist long after we ourselves are utterly forgotten...*
[Hook: DAP The Contract]
Yeah yeah yeah
You got too much bread in that bowl
You got a whole lot of money, you swole
But two loaves never made one whole
You got a forty in the duffle like, damn
You got oil money bet you dunt stole
*I was born rich I can't help that*
But I'll be damned if I sold my soul
[Verse 1: DAP The Contract]
These n***as ain't know, never paid no dues
Never paid no mind, but I paid my toll
Never miss my time, only play my role
Got my mind on Rome, thinking figaro
Never seen no white, but I'm finna blow
Never had no shine, till I k**ed that show
Now I'm 'bout that climb n***a, on my grind
If you didn't know then, n***a *now you know*
It's all for the team, yeah we *all on the go*
Tryna get that cake, tryna get that gold
See my n***as too slick, move *weight on the low*
If you didn't know then, n***a *now you know*
sh** it's all for the dimes, never love *these hoes*
sh** I'm 'bout to get mines n***a, better get yours
Working overtime, *ten thousand flows*
If you didn't know then n***a, *now you know*
*They do it all for the money*
But I need no feedback n***a
Never kickback, sh** I just kickback n***a
I ain't from the hood, ain't no bick back
But where I'm from, these fours got AK's strapped
Everybody want that D n***a
These kids will settle for some E n***a
I f**ing with no G's n***a
Can't you see what the f** I'm tryna be?
sh** I don't need love, sh** I don't need sleep
Told her get on top, now she over me
sh** I don't need green, n***a don't need beef
sh** I'm on my grind, sh** it's all I need
Thought I found my squad, when I found that creed
But you ain't know n***as, what blood they bleed
I don't trust no-one, like mama told me
Young boy fear God, that is all you need
*They do it all for the money*
[Transition: Tafawa Balewa]
*And be able, really, to devote all our resources to the advancement of mankind
By applying those eternal truths, long after we ourselves are utterly forgotten.*
[Verse 2: NICE]
Hate that my n***as money motivated, but the money motivating
Looking at the past, it was all f**ed up, but a lil n***a situated
Who can come and fix my situation?
Ran through the streets with the wolves on the darkest nights
A new high we don't talk about
Work hard then they pick you out to pick apart your mind
Then you lose yourself, what?
Motherf**er man I know where I came from
Where they drill in the songs, like the anthem
I move fast too fast, like the matrix
Make a wrong move, and your life is an anthem
I swear to God you better get yours
I need the world and like six more, at the top, only six floors
But it still feels like a kingdom, your Highness
I'm dreaming of better days, still in disarray
I need a bag of rice, and then a bag of money
And I'm heading to the motherland
And if DAP the connect, got UK respect
We gon' take it way farther than the motherland
For the money
[Hook: DAP The Contract]
Yeah yeah yeah
You got too much bread in that bowl
You got a whole lot of money, you swole
But two loaves never made one whole
You got a forty in the duffle like, damn
You got oil money bet you dunt stole
*I was born rich I can't help that*
But I'll be damned if I sold my soul
*They do it all for the money*
*They do it all for the money*
