get money get money
get money get money get money, yeh
[prelude]
hazy stream of a cloud
jay-z reasonable doubt
maybe treasonable clout
hey we seem to work out
lady seem to know now
baby screaming aloud
lady pink apple mouth
crazy dream i pull out
[verse 1]
time is money so we split the time
quarter waters, JC Penny bags, nicks & dime
piece ain’t peace when you, can’t afford to spit a rhyme
cuz gas just hit the sky, and mama need your whip to drive
your pops is sick and high, you wish you could spit the rhyme
to nip the fines, but money never hear the line, it’s designed
to rip your spine, the junkies never sniff your line, its a crime, NO its the times.
who censoring the picket signs? what sense is it to script a lie?
when your only, pen drops, where the, truth don’t even get to rhyme
when you lonely, pins drop, hear the, blues go eat your friends alive
when your heroes, get shot, buried, you don’t even get to cry
when your hero’s, Gil Scott, Heron, you don’t even get to fly
[hook x2]
get money get money
get money get money get money, yeh
[bridge]
i’m broke, but i’m not broken
i are cade, so i got tokens
ball point game, writing up poems
could be out tokin instead i’m outspoken
ayo blk! we didn’t die & its sign
ayo blk! we getting high & it’s supply
is sublime, is divine diving in the big divide
frankenstein was a metaphor for nghs dying, it’s alive!
[verse 2]
hood rich hood chick
made a hood flick so the hood flip
gymnastics,
should flip should stick should win
them nasty
crooks n hookers hooking
they blasting
i should live, 50 booking
could kick & i could spit & i could quit
cookin
would slip & i would trip but my hood slick
wood drip
these woofers woofin & i would spend
but my wallet full of all this lint
so i rob em for they common cents
[hook x2]
get money get money
get money get money get money, yeh

yousa lame, won’t you stay? yousa lame, won’t you stay
yousa lame, won’t you stay, yousa lame, won’t you stay
welcome to rap game, won’t you stay
yousa lame, won’t you stay, yousa lame, won’t you stay
yousa lame, won’t you stay, yousa lame, won’t you stay
welcome to rap game, won’t you stay?
[verse 1]
i’m wildin’ like a pilot in a dummy jet
look behind my ears, press the button where the dumb eject
look behind your fears, rabbit’s foot around my bunny neck
lucky honey in the back, crunches til her tummy flat, she coming back
i’m her gym day membership
steady banging like a djembe dealership
oochie wallie, you Nas or nah? Nah
i’m just starting off, but that’s what rapper’s talk about
[hook]
yousa lame, won’t you stay, yousa lame, won’t you stay
yousa lame, won’t you stay, yousa lame, won’t you stay
welcome to rap game, won’t you stay
yousa lame, won’t you stay, yousa lame, won’t you stay
yousa lame, won’t you stay, yousa lame, won’t you stay
welcome to rap game, won’t you stay
[verse 2]
i’m just starting off, what rapper’s talk about?
never “she slapped me in the face, now she walking out”
with unk, three stacks and jim jones
you at open mics, but if you ain’t sad, forget poems
write a novel ‘bout a model who ain’t give you no play
drive a Honda to the publisher, hey you know Zane?
dotted lines already cuttin ya, look, you no paid
but alla Oprah fans lovin ya, book of the day

Yesterday was November 4th
I slept the whole day, damn, I forgot vote
ripped off my sheets, to undermine the smoke
and see the Vendetta V is how you write a, 5 in Rome
man, man, Remember ‘member the fall
could be the fate of A-merica, Erykah write a song
them testaments turn laws of devilish false gods
replenish the lost hearts, i wanna make ‘em love
[verse 1]
Once upon a time our chains started breaking
Then once upon a time, cocaine met Ron Regan
So I flew Black Unicorn in name of Audre
then I withdrew all green from the pay-tree-archy
then I just grew, spit flames at its gasoline vines
dying to set the roots, the roots, the roots on fire
In the name of alliance...senseless foes
sell a nice game but they lying i ain't buying
I'm slyer than, icarus on a stealth mission
to stab poseidon with his trident til silence
I mix the logical rhythms with mythological figures
not the narrow minded conventions of misguided religions
divine rhyme intervention inhibits suspicion
from inflicting sublime intuition, look inside & just listen
to envision the wildest inventions this side of the Missis-
sip on the finest elixir & write a timeless description
[verse 2]
Cursive on notecards, banana on the table
Facing Facebook, my answer for the fables
Write a new poem, post it, get all the likes
Paint black portraits, post em, stir up the whites
Mix a-crylic pigments, with complementary color
Mix up crooked pigs with, people picketing struggle
You get a bubble, in the guts of a, confederate city
I write for the “others” & the letters ain’t pretty
I talk ugly, with a Yukmouth, keep it Godzilla
Got a Mil walking, my Bucks out, players know I’m Kidd ‘n
I shoot a Jay with the Sun, flew to AZ
blew jays with Cardinals, read the rum
Now I’m twisted, metal, wrecking, the Playstation
Ice cream trucks on fire, the irony stay blatant
Reminiscing on my past, Remy glisten in the glass
Wit Hendrix in the Future, penning penultimate raps
A Rugrat packing playpens, til adults is in wraps
I amaze scholars, knowledgeable martyrs resurrect
Tutankhamun coming back, put a comma on the back
Of a slave driver, scribers jot a novel of my wrath
Mary J & Ms. Minaj steady praising Golden Calves
Summon Moses for his staff, BLAM! Froze em with a blast
No More Drama from a lash, Anacondas turn to asp
Brimstoning blocks to black, write a opus with the ash

[verse 1]
Sonic Blast. The comet cools
I emerge rhyming like Dr. Seuss
posing on posers for folding up posters
of upholstered UFOs, human glows, I swerve over to park it soon
I'm on campus giving dap to my artist crew
Rapper you just a, court jester; it's comical
Roba-lū fresher. Don't test what karma do
armor to prevent the open chest of Amadou
offer true blessings, 2 lessons, 'tendre school
off of 2 'cedrins, noose lynchings, Doctor Who?
Drugs in a pinstriped bottle, call it a Pharmasuit
Love of my life is Badu, a comment: Common sues
Robalū could be robbing fools
But y’all confused: I'm just rhyming jewels
I'm the dude; I'm in telly Room 502
Call your boo Kelly, I'm Nelly sweaty E.I. ensues
[hook x2]
I’m calm & cool, with the kinda crew
whose common goal is to spit the hottest fumes
They got chronic rolled, speaking astrological
Stories I chronical sicker than the common cold
[verse 2]
Sun is prodigal, in the sky but I'm not a gull
I'm gudda gully as the Gullah Gullah Island frog
or was it polliwog? Styling with the fliest doves
crying purple rain on my purple flaves & Nauticas
turnt up the notch, stomach in knots, nautical
upchucking scotch... darker than botched particles
or polished shoes, tapping for the masters is honest doom
my people, wipe the mask off, you not a coon
Cash rules every 40 acre, and you not a mule
Not slaving, but I’m, saving, up to buy the moon
beam brighter, all my poems got, diamond Hughes
Bling Sire, cuz I hold sun; blinding ooooo!
blinding YOU!
Beat Beats, till my kids is in shiny coupes
Ay, I got 99 Problems B, minus you.
Me stressin? Please, have a weed session; find ya truth
[hook x2]
I’m calm & cool, with the kinda crew
whose common goal is to spit the hottest fumes
They got chronic rolled, speaking astrological
Stories I chronical sicker than, the common cold

[verse 1]
kane is raw, that type 2
blazer on, bow tie too
fire tongue that thai food
light it up like raiCHU
rappers tyson they bite chu
jabbing mic son i right hook
clanking dices like ice, cool
now that i got that out the way
i’m on my MLK mountaintop sniper come out to play
pay day for the bad guys, may day for the black child
murdered so the nation split black & white like magpie
but don’t forget the blues on the wings
as metaphor for any artist flying on his pains
Lamar wrote bars for Keisha dying in a cage
Angelosing all my girls voices, Maya gonna sing
from the grave, we rise up
like Cornel West hairs after diatribing with Dyson
‘Bama changed up now The Hope Well dried up
the Freedom Writers ride up with Raycizm tied up
the vinyl of Nina singing... “Blood on the Pet-als”
cracked a cracker hung a wooden ngh like Gepetto
didn’t know the poet had the burner, burned em
a bigot know the Truth like Sojourner, learned em
dissect my raps like owl pellets, presidential
elect my ass & I’ll tell it, not a snitch tho
running up in yo temple popping off like pimples
gone off bacardi gold my piss the color of pencils
