Evidence - When You Rock & Roll lyrics

[Intro] (dough d-dough d-dough) (How much can you get for your soul) It's EV Evidence, Cookbook, Uno Mas (when you rock and roll) Let's go! [Verse 1: CookBook] Honeys know that money is the thing that they want And brothers know that money is the thing that they want And both'll hit the block and try to hustle it up In the club sellin' they souls (When you rock and roll) Brothers'll fight for that (Money Money) That dough will make the closest friendship start to feel funny Your homie that you run with starts to hide certain agendas Suddenly the great pretenda Don't even bring it to the world of rap music When we're broke, it's buddy-buddy Money comes, you start to lose it Your group starts with a dream to change the scene and change things Behind the scenes, they fighting 'bout the same things (When you rock and roll) You can't survive without that (Money Money) Record companies give little, but want everything from me I signed it like a dummy, now I lost my control Gave away my soul just so I could rock and roll [Hook] How much can you get for your soul? W-when you rock and roll [Verse 2: Evidence] Hit the road, pack my bags, say goodbye You know heroes get remembered, but legends never die So I never say never, and never ask why They pay no tolls, I guess that comes (when you rock and roll) Right, doin' shows now there's (money, money) Last year you was dumb and out, broke and bummy (crazy) They used to want advice, now they tryin to son me It's funny how the tides change, y' know? (when you rock and roll) Cash in pocket, big bank, money fold Accounts drained, but keep a green gangster' s roll They keep they thanks and they praise on hold Things for granted no matter the debt, never owed (when you rock and roll) Small change or big (money money) cha- ching! I'm broke they don' t call, I got loot they love me I know both sides of the fence; some days I feel like Mike Other days Evidence He's rock and roll [Hook] How much can you get for your soul? W-when you rock and roll [Verse 3: Uno Mas] Yeah, everyday Another day, another rhyme Flippin' pennies to a dime Over ten plus years been tryna earn my shine Make moves, stay ahead of the game, and stack dough Keep your business on point, yeah (when you rock and roll) Everybody want that (money money) Survival of the fittest and I'm tryna stay hunger Keep the work ethic up, nothing's given, nothing free If you got a lot to lose, then don't be an emcee This industry will pimp you out like they own the block If your stock don't rise, then you might get locked Doin' time cause you signed Your career's on hold Live and learn or get burned c'mon (when you rock and roll) Wack emcees making (money money) You can find me in the lab doin' work, living grimy Nothin' shiny on my neck, but I got mic control And that's the only thing you need when you (when you rock and roll)
