[Hook] How you gonna get the money? How you gonna get the money? How you gonna get the money? How you gonna get the money? [Verse 1: Just Wise] Money, money, get the paper, that's for real Gun for hire, open fire, dollar bill Holla Holla, but only for that bread Can't take it to the next life, but if it is a next life We gone keep this money train movin' on a head All aboard, monetary holocaust Cornbread and collard greens, pop your collar like a boss Masta eatin' steak, on the greens playin' golf Lookin' at stock options while you look at job offers Either nine to five grindin' or pitchin' on them corners Trying to make a dollar out a nickel and a quarter Might heat you up pot, then drop it in the water Now we don't own no boats or no gondolas Still it's c**aine from Bolivia and Panama Panoramic views on them Panasonic camera The streets watchin' - Watch back and know what time it is [Hook: Just Wise] You just the gold, you just the money You just want the hoes, you just want the honey How you gonna get the money? How you gonna get the money? How you gonna get the money? [Bridge] [Verse 2: Pat Battle] Now I recommend you remember that I enter with energy Refresh your fuzzy memory - Think - How do we get the money? (Oh) By making a livin' or making a k**in'? Whether you hip to admittin' That your government is doublin' debt And cripplin' us men and women to d**h I pedal ahead of the curve with a different currency I got a verb or three And when I cash 'em in, kick back a grin That's all I ask, give Pat a ten- -tion, running a muck I must - cuss some - Man, f** the funds The punks that be on that junk Can kiss my Black rump in a lump sum You want a penny for my thoughts? I think they nickel and dimin' us They hype things they might mean to (Get The Money) "In God we" what? Paper comes from trees, leaves legislative branches Free to hike the stakes of life If your native language is Spanish damnit Me llamo Pat Battle, and I'm votin' for no one You can save face if you wanna, but yo how you gonna - ? You know what? Keep your token slogans man You can pop 'em in, but I plot to win No coin could ever commemorate The very state of mind that I be rockin' in, but then again I've never done this for the money [Hook: Pat Battle] You want the scene? Want the dream? Well you should be wondering - Somethin's funny (Do It) (How you gonna get the money?) Cause everything has a cap, that's fact So I'm askin' all you dummies (Stupid) (How you gonna get the money?) And nothin' in life is free, you can take it from me I need mobility but (How you gonna get the money?) [Just Wise] Life costs to run across it [Drok] Be the boss or be accosted [Verse 3: Drok] Runnin' for money across the globe, it's the same Watch 'em workin' for dollars, not even hopin' for change And they're so in the game that they don't even know the rules When I saw the overseers they were seein' over you And they been watchin', locked in prior to back in the day Follow that cash that you make for all them taxes you pay Whether the trap that you bait, or if the trap that you wait Notice a slave for a slave cause its a trap either way Peep behind the curtain lurk into the back of the stage See that money only plays that golden calf when you pray But it sounds better when we call that capitalism But that cash isn't kiddin', it got your a** on a mission It's every man for himself and then they laugh at the women With no ask and no listen, now "Get your a** in the kitchen" Then that gatherin' friction builds and leads to separation Peep the destination... [Pat Battle] Where we going? [Drok] To where? [Hook: Drok] x2 That money just paper (That money just paper) That diamond just rock (That diamond just rock) That gold is just metal (That gold is just metal) This time is just not (This time is just not)
