Not about the money, money, put the money in the bank The money breeds greed, and greed is really bad Money, money, oh, I never really had And I got by just fine not workin' for the man You think you got a dollar but you only got a dime A-hustle up your lovin' to see the sun shine The simple things, and the simple things And people only give a sh*t when you Hide yourself Try to mould to perfection, you don't feel like feedin' the mouth Bite the hand that feeds you wealth And that ain't good for my mental health, no, no They only give a sh*t when you make it big Frame my memory when I'm dead and gone Turn their back when you make a hit But if you love it, then you'll hold it down They only give a sh*t when you make it big Frame my memory when I'm dead and gone Turn their back when you make a hit But if you love it, gotta hold it down Gotta hold it down Make a million dollars, but it ain't that much When it passes through the hands, and they take their cuts So put your faces on the poster, got the people inside When the debt rolls around, they go run and hide East side to the seaside, south side to the middle and, of course, I died Head north to the border to get the time over And when the sun goes down, I surrender to the night (I surrender to the night) I will kiss away my pride (I will kiss away my pride) And I know it will find me one day All in good time They only give a sh*t when you make it big Frame my memory when I'm dead and gone Turn their back when you make a hit But if you love it, then you'll hold it down They only give a sh*t when you make it big Frame my memory when I'm dead and gone Turn their back when you make a hit But if you love it, then you'll hold it down You gotta hold it down
