Raz Simone - Cheap Money lyrics

[Intro] La, da, da, da Da, da, da, da Da, da, ah [Verse 1] Do what you love, and love who you do Time is worth more than money, a billion dollars won't buy you another you Another year spent with your son, quality time with your loved ones Trust me, one call home every night is worth far more than ten trust funds I'd rather toss and turn on a dirt floor where love runs Than lay in a bed where the truth lies, we scrutinize on two sides Then that grip which once was too tight, gets loose while wanderin' eyes and lost souls develop new ties New women, new guys New b**hes, new lies New n***as, new fights We villainize one another, place blame, and victimize each other Oh god, Big Sean, nothing's more important than the moolah Vision impaired, gold chains on my neck, and rings, Slick Rick Raz the ruler I look to my past to maneuver through the zigzags that I have in the future Make my next move better than my last tour You were too concerned with my private life to be successful unless you were a private eye When trust is broken it hardly ever heals, but we might could try [Hook] Time is everything, and money means nothing When you come from where we came, you better own something When them sirens siren, money made from grindin' It's no longer for survivin', we hood rich, shinin' But the money from the ki's pushed into pushin' this rhymin' Now that limelight's blindin', that limelight's blindin' My old b**hes cryin', my old n***as lyin' My hoe b**hes still grindin', I'mma cop 'em all islands I'mma buy 'em all islands, wipe them tears off they eyelids [Verse 2] She can find an insult in a bouquet of roses, so when we're alone I just don't talk Then that silence gets mistaken for negative emotions, when I'm not angry at all, I know I'm not But when I look deeper and I'm realistic, I find resentment, and that resentment is afflicted by her negativity Which is the product of my resistance, which is visible by my abrupt lack of commitment Which is contigent on her dishonest lips and eyes that twitch when they lie We can all find a b**h in disguise, but sometimes that disguise is so seductive we look right past all the signs We scream, "Love, what don't k** you will make you stronger" We repeat these simple cliches like childhood monikers In hopes that they'll strike nostalgic chords, maybe one day we'll speak them true But I could tell you a hunnid things that won't k** you but will weaken you We ask God for mercy, and just in case, we pray to Jesus too We recite these scriptures, but that's the same exact thing that the demons do, god [Hook] [Verse 3] Chop a n***a down for the f** of it, sawed off n***a, no tuckin it Buckshots n***a, no slugs in it, excuse me if I sound f**in sick It's no fictional, n***a, it's just what we did, send up a prayer to the game god The work doesn't ever stop though, gangsters don't get laid off Coughin' sick as f** on a cold block, 'cause hustlers don't get days off I put in my work and my timin', my n***a, the stripes and the stars is alignin', my n***a Red, white, and blue with my crimin', my n***a, American dreams or terrorist schemes Claws of the eagle tear at the seams of any culture that doesn't want to share it's beliefs Pollution smearing the streets, newborn babies barely could breathe Swords turn into bombs buried beneath, if you was a phone case, then you'd carry a sheath If you was a phone case, then you'd carry a sheath, if you was a phone case, then you'd carry a sheath [Outro] Male Voice: Come on, come on, hurry up f** n***a, pick up the phone Aye, what's up n***a, where you at, dawg? Raz Simone: G, I'm at the spot, what's goin on? Male Voice: n***a, I see them n***as right now, dawg Raz Simone: You swear? Where? Male Voice: n***a I see- n***a, over on the south side Right now, n***a Raz Simone: I'mma come at you right now Male Voice: n***a, hurry up, n***a Raz Simone: I promise, straight up Male Voice: Aight, out
