Verse 1
Am 
I used to be a rich man,
now I'm a poor man
I used to be a poor man, now I'm rich
Cause when I was a rich man,
stepped in the quicksand
Now I'm a poor man,
ain't that a bitch?
I used to be a rich man,
now I'm a poor man
I used to be a poor man, now I'm rich
Cause when I was a rich man,
I stepped in the quicksand
Now I'm a poor man,
who ain't got a bitch
Hey yo, Westland, strap on your vest and
Meet me on the Grand Concourse,
we about to set it off
who's the victim tonight?
Is he black or is he white?
You know I could give a fuck,
son, green is what I like
Aight, I'll meet you around midnight,
I'm down to green
Matter fact, I'm lacing up
my boots right now
You know how we livin',
I ain't givin' a fuck
I'm out of luck,
and if I gotta buck somebody
Then whatever, son,
we in this shit together
Word, we ain't got a bot to piss in
I'm sick of eatin' chicken
and finger lickin'
We on a mission,
cause my paradise ain't nice
My advice is, let's be wise
My pockets ain't white, I need green
Tired of bein' stuck between
the rock and the hard place
Now it's time for me
to taste a piece of the pie
I ain't tryin' to die,
Know what I'm sayin' now?
I'ma go for mine,
even if it mean I gotta do crime
I'ma find a way to get
the kinda loot I need to be
All that I can be and then
some Understand?
And do what it take for me to be a rich man
I used to be a rich man,
now I'm a poor man
I used to be a poor man, now I'm rich
Cause when I was a rich man,
I stepped in the quicksand
Now I'm a poor man,
ain't that a bitch?
I'm telling you right now
to move a muscle,
got my finger on the trigger
I'm mad upset,
don't make me have to smoke a nigga
West, hurry the fuck up, pack the loot
One minute and counting,
then we gotta move a situation
Twenty -two
Yo bitch,
put that cash in the bag and make it fast
Get that finger off the button
before I bark that ass
Grabbed up the manager,
smacked him in the face
Open up the safe!
Dm 
Eb 
Am 
777 -9311 is the combination
Act like you know
it's time to pay the black nation
Now I got the loot, time to jet
Anybody make a move, they getting wet
B 
Am 
Step to the door, headed for the getaway
Now we on the highway
Richard and the motherfucker
heading for the airport
Hope we don't get caught,
cause we ain't going out like that
We on the road to riches
and we ain't looking back, black
I used to be a rich man
Now I'm a poor man
I used to be a poor man
Now I'm rich,
cause when I was a rich man,
I stepped in the Crixin,
now I'm a poor man, ain't got a bitch
I used to be a rich man,
now I'm a poor man,
E 
I used to be a poor man, now I'm rich
Am 
Cause when I was a rich man,
I stepped in the Crixin,
now I'm a poor man, ain't got a bitch
