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

3:43For 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
