Cash Every Denomination - The Ingredients Of Life - Clean Version lyrics

Verse One I don't love to leave?/Raised you from your situation treated you like my seed/ Giving you what you want and providing to all your needs/No need to beg and plead/ I'm here through it all/Here to catch you when you fall/Accepting 2 minute Calls/You Could have been lone gone/A prison keepsake/but we held on and held strong/And those Kingpin charges, expunged/Now what the hell's wrong?/And life's right?/Why do we live and breathe?/Show no love, compa**ion or sympathy?/Food for thought gets literally taken /like Adam coaxed by Eve/Hence our beginning is our end/And it's a battle ground we stand on so firmly/ It's you and I/And we survive/ hustle with unity/ (Ha**an Farrow) Hook 4 x Ingredients of Life Verse Two Playing catch up when we were caught up/Played the fool/Now we play like fools on free time/My time is your time/ And our time is kept like the face on my wrist/Celebrating a New Edition?/Hated when Bobby Brown went solo, left New Edition/And if you a man then to your woman you would take time to listen/Got chips on my shoulder/So you know the money must come long/It's pricey to stay icey/Man just ask the wife See,/Life to me/Is a composite, kaleidoscope, collage of many things/As humans we emote/Harboring anger, frustration and greed/All off of hard laboring/401K no longer okay/Living day to day/The new American way/Outsourcing is crushing dreams/The new era Depression/History changed/Barack Obama First black president/ Hook 4 x Ingredients of Life Verse Three Hustled through this Rap Game/Brought songwriting sk**s and abilities to shame/And dreams and aspirations to waste/Who am I to blame/Young as okay and nave to this game/Now I crack the Piggy Bank like 50 Cents on the dollar/Introduced to my new self/Putting alcohol consumption and puffing lye on the shelf/Now a little wiser/Competitors young enough to be sons/Hanging on boot straps/After a stint of fame/Understand, it's important to give back/Listened to Michael Jackson's album/Literally Off the Wall/Tapes of Anita Baker, Billie Ocean and a 8-track of War/My taste for Mozart and Beethoven /So cla**ical/And with my love for music/ I promise to compose more/Grow more/Allowing my friends and fam to eat/Listen to others as well I speak/ Hook 8 x Ingredients of Life
