[Intro] Money, moolah Young n***as with money Show them what's up, let's show them what's up Count it if you can Count it if you can Count it if you f**ing can! Count it if you, can you count it? There's too much to count Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (x2) [Hook: Black Milk] And I can't lie You n***as ride to die You balling or you barely getting by All we really wanted, wanted was a piece of the pie All we wanted was a piece of the pie Nah I can't lie See them dollar signs in my eye Pray to God and hope I don't die All we really wanted, wanted was a piece of the pie All we wanted was a piece of the pie I can't lie You n***as ride to die You balling or you barely getting by All we really wanted, wanted was a piece of the pie All we wanted was a piece of the pie [Verse 1: Black Milk] Yeah since a young age Maybe since the fifth grade n***as always been about they hustle See my n***a Randy on the bus and Selling penny candies during luncheon Quarter waters made a couple bucks then Standing by the fence Lemonheads, one for 50 cents Sold it for a little cheaper than he flipped Adidas three stripes was the kicks That he wanted Recess outside, where the kids usually called him They wanted cheaper Then the store bought 'em He already knew something That the teachers never taught him How to (how to) How to get it Yeah he got them new sneaks Plus copped a new fitted [Hook: Black Milk] I can't lie You n***as ride to die You balling or you barely getting by All we really wanted, wanted was a piece of the pie All we wanted was a piece of the pie Nah I can't lie See them dollar signs in my eye Pray to God and hope I don't die All we really wanted, wanted was a piece of the pie All we wanted was a piece of the pie [Verse 2: Black Milk] Yeah, yeah Sitting on the couch, turned the channel to the box Cousin in the kitchen whip, whipping up a pot Every 25 minutes outside I hear a knock At the door, somebody asking him for another cop (cop) Cop another rock (rock) After that go whip another pot Homie sitting on the porch, they on watch Curiosity k**ed the cat Was curious about the stacks (Say yo, yo, yo how you do that) Little n***a didn't I tell you stay up in a room Go play with your other cousin, yeah yo mama coming soon You liking what you see, huh? Tired of mama, wanna buy your own things, huh? Let me show you something, how to get the green, ah Guess you old enough, you turning 14 now Let's go and get it now [Bridge: Black Milk] Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (x2) [Hook: Black Milk] And I can't lie You n***as ride to die You balling or you barely getting by All we really wanted, wanted was a piece of the pie All we wanted was a piece of the pie Nah I can't lie See them dollar signs in my eye Pray to God and hope I don't die All we really wanted, wanted was a piece of the pie All we wanted was a piece of the pie [Verse 3: Pete Rock] Coming from the apple, gotta stay fly Luxury cars, 745s Bars is finito, everything live Rolling up Obama, got to stay fried Live in the moment, word to the wise Get to the money, maintain your pride Always stay humble, then get to the prize I'm like Martin in life trying to get the pie yeah The chocolate boy wonder Nobody does it better Need at least 15 in to get up on my level I'm still here, still make beats that's special My name Pete Rock, I'mma stay real forever [Outro: Black Milk] (Forever ever? Forever ever? Forever ever?) Piece of the pie Want, wanted was a piece of the pie
