The Alchemist - The Dough lyrics

Intro: Yeah yeah... You know we always gonna come through Not playing no games or whatever Yeah yeah, that's right [Verse 1: Prodigy] Yo I'm up 4 in the morning making some new sh** I just keep going and going when everybody quit I don't stop I'm a fiend, way more than Rakim It's not the mic that I like, it's the song when it's finished n***as can't seem to rock it, but I be in the pocket Your rap doesn't flow with the beat, you need to stop it They buying into my story because my sh** real You never do what you say, that's why you don't sell I ain't beefing on a record, somebody gonna die And you can beef about it when you read about in the Times Ain't no bullsh**ting n***a I'm a rare species Every ten years they make a n***a like P' [Hook] Imma slow it down, so you can hear me out And really really listen and see what I'm about You feel me on the right, you feel my on the left They feel me in the back... It's all about the dough, that's how we stay alive I like to see you try to eat and you ain't got a dime It's all about the dough, that's how we stay alive I like to see you try to eat and you ain't got a dime [Verse 2: Prodigy] All I do is wake up and make hits At 15 I mastered the 16 bars, with some henny and a spliff Now you can't tell me sh** Give me one hour with a dope a** beat, and I'll show you how to spit You ain't got no war stories, n***a you ain't got sh** Because we ain't trying to hear your little songs for the chicks And that b**h want it hard not a RnB thug She like it real rough, n***a you the sweet stuff Ha, cream puff n***a, I need you So they can tell the difference between me and you Yo I wake up every morning and I write a new smash I don't do this for the radio I do this for the fans Do it for the block This is for my n***as that's locked up in a box In the maxi max, that's the penitentiary My pen will never cease sh** my pops gave ten years, to the federales From Georgia to Cali, He broke out of L.A County With the cuffs on, my pops was rowdy Then caught him out in San Jose, you know the bounties If you can see me now, living like the sallies [Hook] Outro: Yo we gonna get this money real quick f** what you talking about...
