Verse 1 Wu-Tang said "Cash Rules Everything Around Me" But I will never ever sell my soul No amount of money that you could ever offer me Would make me sacrifice my goals I stay True to my origins and never once said that I lived a life on the grind in the streets My hustle is in music and the dedication I put in at the lab to perfect these beats Never see the point in hiding where you come from All these fake personas always end up undone And so it seems trying to create these scene from changing beats to fake meet and greets Paid for paper sheets to keep the peace feed the beast for wolves, dressed as sheep Chorus No time for a yellow tracksuit or a red hat But I keep it real No Bob Cryer, Holy Fryer when I talk I mean that But I keep it real No time for me, no time for you But I keep it real I land with a punchline or two But I keep it real Verse 2 Some people might take offence to the words that I say or the way I address them I say what I mean don't tip toe around it I'm straight to the point but my feet are grounded When I feel like I've lost myself I dig deep, cling hard take off the belt
I take a long hard look at the things I've done I see the progress now of how far we've come When I reach the top, I'll never flop, I'll keep it locked, I'll keep you shocked, I'll never stop no? More money, more problems, I don't want that No way to solve them, I don't want that Scared of an ATM I don't want that Trust me when I say "You Don't Want That" Chorus No time for a yellow tracksuit or a red hat But I keep it real No Bob Cryer, Holy Fryer when I talk I mean that But I keep it real No time for me, no time for you But I keep it real I land with a punchline or two But I keep it real But I keep it real But I keep it real Bridge No time for you if you're on your high-horse You're now helpless, as you've chose the wrong course Wrong side of the fence Dickhead! Outro No time for a yellow tracksuit or a red hat But I keep it real No Bob Cryer, Holy Fryer when I talk I mean that But I keep it real No time for me, no time for you But I keep it real I land with a punchline or two But I keep it real But I keep it real But I keep it real
