Meek Mill - Power lyrics

[Intro] First you get the respect and then you get the money After you get the money, that's when the power come You dig? [Verse 1] I'm only 23, living like I'm 32 I just made a 100K and spent it all out with my crew I be blowing money fast, what the f** I'm supposed to do? All this paper I done made, I can't take it to the grave In a R8 Audi with the motor in the rear I was nominated youngest baller of the year Just think a couple months ago, I was locked up on the tier In a cell but now I'm dropping on these n***as like a tear For the way I got that Lambo in the back of me Phantom in the front of me Stunting on my old hoes, look what this money done to me Shout out all them n***as in my hood that ever fronted me Cause I'm a put them all on and better they run to me Cause real n***as do real things If you was real you would've went and bought a real chain (Fraud) Fake a** n***as playing in the real game Frontin' on they old block, saying that the deal came They asking how I get all this power Cause I be on the grind like 24 hours (Yes sir) 365 dream chasing for a dollar, I been here since yesterday, I ain't even take a shower More money more power, more power, more business, more b**hes Tryna holla when they see you by the dollar And the problem when you on that cake And when you shine, a lot of n***as they be on that hate If I don't grind then who the f** gon' put it on my plate? She say I'm Hollywood, well sh** I must be on my way With my Louis luggage straight to Californ-ia I hit my n***a K, like meet me by the port by eight Uh, I had a dream like Mr. King That I was in a phantom, color Listerine (Ew) No top, bald headed like Mr. Clean sh** I ain't claiming these b**hes like Billie Jean I'm just doing something to these n***as really mean He got the money without the power, what do he mean? He like the n***a that ride the bench that's playing for a team That win the champ ain't get no ticks but he still get the rings [Outro] You dig me? You like a n***a Ya'll n***as got five rings But you been riding the bench for five years So that don't make you a n***a with power You know what I mean? That don't make you a Kobe n***a Cause you was riding the bench while n***as was putting in the work But you was just there and got the rings You dig me? That's like a n***a with no power, I'm gone
