Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
Ay yo,
it's all about the dollar for real,
cus without it,
your train of thought is fucked up
Am 
F 
G 
and your mind's overcrowded
Am 
With ideas that could
A 
repair your situation
Am 
But half the time it means
that you're risking incarceration
Always a complication,
G 
a trial and a tribulation
What's supposed to link up with success
but missed my reservation
Am 
G 
Am 
I ain't mad though,
G 
Am 
booked it again,
G 
F 
G 
Am 
play them with gin,
G 
can temporarily give you relief
Am 
But trying to drink away your problems
G 
only leaves you with grief
Am 
G 
Am 
Love life and it'll love you back,
G 
that's my belief
Am 
Fuck the world mentality,
G 
will leave you dead in the street
Poverty's a motherfucker,
Am 
ac  tually it's a thief
G 
Am 
G 
It steals people's childhoods
Am 
G 
and  gives birth to wild hoods
Am 
Got niggas moving packages
G 
and selling foul goods
Am 
They say money can't buy love
G 
and that ain't fake
But if your paper's off,
Am 
that shit could definitely breed hate
G 
Money comes first, fuck hunger,
fuck thirst
Am 
Without cake,
G 
you might as well be livin' in a hearse
Am 
It's like you're a walkin'
dead without bread
No money in your pockets
F 
like a hole in the head
Am 
I've been there before
G 
and I ain't ever goin' back
Am 
I   don't give a fuck if I
G 
spit rap or sell crack
Am 
Real men stand up tall and do they thing
I don't care where you from,
G 
cause cash is still cash
Am 
Yo, a self -employed slacker's
G 
only cheatin' himself
Am 
Niggas should put in overtime
and try to double their wealth
I'ma clutch ones,
G 
Am 
even if  I sit on the shelf
My mind's full of black thoughts,
G 
Am 
G 
but I'm not from Illidolph
Am 
My roots run deep throughout NYC
G 
Am 
G 
Never met DJ Premier,
but I'm a NYG
Hence I kick that shit that I kick,
street knowledge
Am 
I break it down how the world
F 
Am 
G 
revolves around dollars
Am 
G 
Life's based on happiness, success,
and what you leave
Am 
G 
Behind on this earth
Am 
F 
when your body can't breathe
Am 
So  just getting by makes
it hard to achieve
When you only do the minimum,
that's what you receive
F 
Am 
Mad people perish leaving no mark behind
G 
Cause they never had the time
to explore their own mind
Am 
G 
Financial constraints either
Am 
G 
make or break people
Am 
G 
Am 
I   never thought that money
was the root to all evil
F 
G 
In actuality it makes people turn warm
Am 
G 
Am 
G 
Killers hearts get cold
Am 
G 
when the money's all gone
Am 
G 
Counting cream's a natural high,
I'm addicted
Every time I touch a new
Am 
stack I get lifted
G 
I'm not hooked to money,
F 
G 
I'm attached to the
Am 
comfort it  brings
G 
Am 
Having cake lets us do
G 
such things
Am 
Without cash
F 
it's like you're locked up
Am 
G 
Am 
and can't be  exonerated
Stuck in your lifestyle,
financially incarcerated
G 
Am 
Money comes first, fuck hunger,
G 
fuck thirst
Am 
Without cake,
G 
Am 
you might as well be livin'
G 
in a hearse
Am 
It's like you're the walkin' dead
without bread
No money in your pockets
F 
like a hole in the head
Am 
I've been there before
and I ain't ever goin' back
I don't give a fuck if I spit rap or sell crack
G 
Real men stand up tall and do they thing
I don't care where you from,
