Rockwilder - Money Talks lyrics

[Sticky Fingaz] Twas the night before twistmas And all through the house We had guns and money around Layin' on the couch Was dressed with black j**elry this time Mmmmmm, c'mon [Verse 1 - Sticky Fingaz] Everybody want me, I created thieves Why I'm almost as important as the air you breathe I been through hard times, when it wasn't enough for me Stick with me, kid, have you livin' in luxury I'm the reason n***as sellin' d** to fiends I'm the reason Mr. Simpson got off clean I'm the reason some parents gotta bury they kids And I'm the reason why your cousin on the run from feds I've been through customs, borders I've been handled by authorities Drove people crazy when they couldn't see more of me I've been saved, I've been buried alive Say my name enough and any n***a testify Who you think made that who*e sell her a** that time All by myself, I created black on black crime I'm America's most, I'm tadded up with Ghost Even my hand got big, from net to gross I'm emotionless, yet I breed jealousy and envy People k** for me or die to defend me But in the end am I really worth it, son Rich people make me work for them And poor people work for me Who am I? n***a I'm money Who am I? n***a I'm money [Hook - Raekwon the Chef] See the gun wound, went down for you Who ran up in the house, duke Caught one from here and for who? When n***as was ready to murder me You stayed up in the crib, like a b**h Lookin' ill, and it's irkin' me (for who?) I got stabbed for you Yo, shot up the ave for you Just stopped blowin' the cabs for you (for who?) Chill, some n***as called crabs for you Holdin' them garbage bags for you Ill, blowin them hags for you [Verse 2 - Sticky Fingaz] I'm the root to evil, I don't grow on trees I'm called by different names, chips, scrilla, cream And I'm always green whether dirty or clean (Wooooeeee!) Gettin' ya hands on me is the American Dream I'm more powerful than God, amazingly Cause when you pray to God n***a, you pray for me I'm an exchange hand to hand, with heavy weapontry This one couple f**ed on me, and slept on me Up in the dice games n***as stepped on me Bet on me, couldn't pay, bled on me I enslaved populations, and controlled ma**es I come in all forms, coins, paper, plastic Even credit, I.O.U You work for me n***a, I own you If you are smart, you make me work for you All ya life you try and get me and it's hurtin' you [Hook - Raekwon the Chef] [Verse 3 - Sticky Fingaz] If you had a million of me, what would you do with me yo? Would you blow me in a month and have nothin' to show Or would you invest in me and watch me grow Take me to the streets and flip me from, do' to sto' to do' I underseen things I wish I hadn't seen I came between loved ones and families A n***a k** his old man to get his hands on me Got secret ensciptions, examine me Wanna find me, the bank machine is where I be And showed 'em to a hundred grand, F.D.I.C I'm more notorious than the B.I.G I'm so money, who don't wanna be like me [Hook - Raekwon the Chef] 2x
