Lyrics

0:30What you want you ain't gon' get it
0:34What you need you won't admit it
0:38It really don't matter how hard you try
0:41Cause money can't buy respect
0:53The material mind is enticed by the dollar bill
0:57It makes some brothers fight and some would even kill
1:01Some will do anything for a bill
1:04Cause they think they'll get respect
1:16Bought a big Mercedes and you got about ten more cars
1:20Now you impress the ladies and you're a neighborhood star
1:25Gold on your fingers and your neck
1:28But you still get no respect
1:39Your mind is weak so when you speak
1:41You're obsolete your mental peak
1:43Is in the street your mouth's a beak
1:46Big like a bird and your future's bleak
1:48Now you should seek some help decree
1:50You're selling crack and living cheap
1:53Bought a brand new ride to go beep beep
1:55Playing music outside loud in your jeep
1:57But you should know unless you're slow
2:00There comes an end to the sidewalk show
2:02And up the river's where you'll go
2:04Wearing stripes from head to toe
2:07No fancy gold no fancy car
2:09And the brothers inside don't care who you are
2:11A 7 foot brother doing life
2:14300 pounds says you're his wife
2:16Walks in your cell and says "Fix it up"
2:18Then you look up and say "Not the butt"
2:21He says "Shut up" "But but" No but
2:23Now what you gonna do freaky deaky or what
2:45The money was good the money was fast
2:47No business mind and the money won't last
2:49In the money rate you fell first to last
2:51Now every night you fight for your a**
2:54They say what goes up must come down
2:57All hustlers know that sound
2:58Cause you're here today gone the next
3:01And you'll find out the hard way you get no respect
3:05Man you must be crazy and bugged
3:07Whatcha mean I don't get no respect
3:09You crazy
3:10You got to respect me
3:11Cause I was the first millionaire off the streets boy
3:14Ain't nobody ever had a hustle like mine
3:16In '72 I was killing em boy
3:18Man go 'head go 'head
3:19I'm telling ya I was shitting on it
3:21Word up word up I was the man
3:24And a car these niggas ain't got no cars today man
3:27My car was so pretty I ride by niggas' dicks get hard
3:30You dig what I'm saying
3:31Ha ha man get outta here go 'head

3:34They used to call me Mackaroni Tony boy
3:36Aw man go 'head shut yo broke a** up man
3:40Word I spell it out I'll yell it out
3:43For those brothers that keep selling out
3:45Cause local clout is all you're about
3:48A few b******t es and hanging out
3:50And every day's like a title bout
3:52When the next man wants you taken out
3:55I'd like to know what you're thinkin' about
3:57It sure ain't dyin' without a doubt
4:00But you better wake up before it's too late
4:05Or they'll be doing your make up down at the coroner's place
4:09And you will have lived just to die
4:12And you'll die with no respect

5:08I'm the man when you get a bad boy
What you want you ain't gon' get it
What you need you won't admit it
It really don't matter how hard you try
Cause money can't buy respect
The material mind is enticed by the dollar bill
It makes some brothers fight and some would even kill
Some will do anything for a bill
Cause they think they'll get respect
Bought a big Mercedes and you got about ten more cars
Now you impress the ladies and you're a neighborhood star
Gold on your fingers and your neck
But you still get no respect
Your mind is weak so when you speak
You're obsolete your mental peak
Is in the street your mouth's a beak
Big like a bird and your future's bleak
Now you should seek some help decree
You're selling crack and living cheap
Bought a brand new ride to go beep beep
Playing music outside loud in your jeep
But you should know unless you're slow
There comes an end to the sidewalk show
And up the river's where you'll go
Wearing stripes from head to toe
No fancy gold no fancy car
And the brothers inside don't care who you are
A 7 foot brother doing life
300 pounds says you're his wife
Walks in your cell and says "Fix it up"
Then you look up and say "Not the butt"
He says "Shut up" "But but" No but
Now what you gonna do freaky deaky or what

No business mind and the money won't last
