[Intro]
Eminem: Denaun, what up, man?
Denaun: What up, dawg?
Em: You alright?
De: Chillin', cold as hell
Em: Yes it is. Hey, bus didn't come here, didn't he?
De: No, hey look, you got 15 cent?
Em: Nah, I got just enough to get on the bus, I'm broke
De: We gotta go to the store, alright, man
Quick, ‘cause I'm short
Em: Yeah, we gonna have enough time to go to the store?
De: Nah, look
Em: You should just, how much you got there?
De: I only got 75, I'm sure I got a dollar, know what I mean
Em: Just throw it in there, they ain't gonna know
You know what? Aye look, I'm sick of taking this damn bus everywhere, man
De: You gotta make some moves or somethin'
Em: I know, look, I'm trying to get rich
I got a baby on the way, I don't even got a car
You know what I'm saying?
De: I still stay with my moms, 21 and still with my moms
Em: Yeah, look, hey, we gotta make some hit records or somethin', you know what I'm saying?
‘Cause I'm tired of being broke
[Verse 1]
‘Cause all I do is yearn a life without a concern
And dream of having a turn to earn money to burn
Mapping out my strategies to get rich, huh
My desire is like a scratch that needs to get itched, huh
‘Cause, man, I live in the D, this sh** ain't given for free
Nothing's different to me, so what else is there to see?
I'll be the prisoner to flee from all of this misery
I'm not wishing to be another fish in the sea
But just an MC, so listen to me for this and agree
Your mission the key, you ain't even in the vicinity
Unconditionally, my aspects to cash checks
My objects were never to swab decks
It's up to you, the decision is yours
If what you vision is tours, or a missionless course
When your sh** is in the stores, ‘cause you can be a star
[Hook]
No matter wherever you are
You're never too far from revenue par
‘Cause you can be king
You can rule the world, you can do anything
It's on you, baby, ‘cause you can be a star
No matter wherever you are
You're never too far from revenue par
‘Cause you can be king
You can rule the world, you can do anything
It's on you, baby, ‘cause you can be a star
No matter wherever you are
You're never too far from revenue, huh
Em: You know what I'm saying? See what I'm talking about, man? ‘Cause that's it. Yeah
A million dollars ain't even that far away, man
De: Yo, we got to get the money, man
I can't be broke for the rest of my life
Em: Yeah, I hear what your saying. Look, there's got to be something better, you know what I'm saying?
De: I can't live like this for the rest of my life, man
Bumming rides everywhere I go
Em: Yeah, what's up with Lexus's and Land Cruisers?
[Verse 2]
Yo, I'm not about to chance it and dismiss handling business
I'm canceling Christmas to gamble and risk this
Financial interest is the matter at hand
I got an adequate plan for stab at a grand
I grab what I can and do what I must
Pursue what I lust, it's true that I just choose
The few that I trust, them's the people that I still got
f** with gangsta Philpot, get your grill shot
The 5 Ela for life: my man Thyme
Proof, Kyu and Denaun, we move through the nine
My crew's true and divine, we never fronted
We just wanted to be funded, and live to be a hundred
Instead of hunted or being wanted as fugitives
It's all about a man planning what his future is
What he can do for his to be a star
[Hook]
[Outro]
That's what I'm talking about
I'm not trying to be the player, I'm trying to be the mayer
I want to be president
Yo, forgot that president, man
I'm trying to be king, making dead presidents
You know what I'm saying?
Getting money any time I want, owning my own businesses and all that. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I'm trying to be a millionaire, man
Hahaha, but don't all, you know?
You only live once, '96, baby
