Lyrics
0:21Now this is my job I will not quit it
0:24Pulled me out the depths when I thought that I was finished
0:26Yeah I questioned if I could go the distance
0:29That's just the work regardless of who's listening listening
0:33Listen see I was meant to be a warrior
0:35Fight something amongst me leave here victorious
0:38Classroom of kids or a venue performing
0:40If I'd had done for the money I'd have been a f**king lawyer
0:43Concrete vagabond van telling stories
0:46Humbled by the road I'm realizing I'm not important
0:49See life's a beautiful struggle I record it
0:51Hope it helps you maneuvering through yours and
0:53That's why we stay in the lab at night
0:56I've been staring into this pad for over half my life
0:59A true artist won't be satisfied
1:02So I guess that's the sacrifice
1:04And I say
1:04Make the money don't let the money make you
1:08Change the game don't let the game change you
1:10I'll forever remain faithful
1:13All my people stay true
1:15I say
1:16Make the money don't let the money make you
1:18Change the game don't let the game change you
1:21I'll forever remain faithful
1:24All my people stay true
1:26Forget about the fame fortune and the mansion
1:29Sitting and tripping watching myself on a plasma
1:31Yeah I start slipping when I'm thinking about that stuff
1:34Ego won't swole until the karma catches that up that up
1:37I'm my grandma's number one grandson
1:40I lost myself to remember who that was
1:43We start thinking about some kicks a necklace
1:45What I really need is a job off craig's list
1:48Take away the dot com name love
1:50Fans twitter followers and the buzz
1:53See you keep the issues but you take away the drugs
1:56And I had to find out who I really was
2:00Who I really wasn't
2:02So sick of who I was becoming
2:04Yeah tired of running
2:06Time to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn to love him
2:10Make the money don't let the money make you
2:12Change the game don't let the game change you
2:15I'll forever remain faithful
2:18All my people stay true
2:19I said
2:21Make the money don't let the money make you
2:23Change the game don't let the game change you
2:26I'll forever remain faithful
2:28All my people stay true
2:42Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac
2:44Watch the videos and get the girls in the back
2:47But if that's what I believe in and the reason that I rap
2:50Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track
2:52Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac
2:55Watch the videos and get the girls in the back
2:58But if that's what I believe in and the reason that I rap
3:00Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track
3:04Make the money don't let the money make you
3:06Change the game don't let the game change you
3:09I'll forever remain faithful
3:11Stay true stay true
3:13And I said
3:14Make the money don't let the money make you
3:17Change the game don't let the game change you
3:21I'll forever remain faithful
3:22Stay true stay true stay true
3:27Forget about the fame
3:29I said forget about the fame
3:31I'll forever remain faithful
3:34Stay true stay true stay true
Now this is my job I will not quit it Pulled me out the depths when I thought that I was finished Yeah I questioned if I could go the distance That's just the work regardless of who's listening listening Listen see I was meant to be a warrior Fight something amongst me leave here victorious Classroom of kids or a venue performing If I'd had done for the money I'd have been a f**king lawyer Concrete vagabond van telling stories Humbled by the road I'm realizing I'm not important See life's a beautiful struggle I record it Hope it helps you maneuvering through yours and That's why we stay in the lab at night I've been staring into this pad for over half my life A true artist won't be satisfied So I guess that's the sacrifice And I say Make the money don't let the money make you Change the game don't let the game change you I'll forever remain faithful All my people stay true I say Make the money don't let the money make you Change the game don't let the game change you I'll forever remain faithful All my people stay true Forget about the fame fortune and the mansion Sitting and tripping watching myself on a plasma Yeah I start slipping when I'm thinking about that stuff Ego won't swole until the karma catches that up that up I'm my grandma's number one grandson I lost myself to remember who that was We start thinking about some kicks a necklace What I really need is a job off craig's list Take away the dot com name love Fans twitter followers and the buzz See you keep the issues but you take away the drugs And I had to find out who I really was Who I really wasn't So sick of who I was becoming Yeah tired of running Time to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn to love him Make the money don't let the money make you Change the game don't let the game change you I'll forever remain faithful All my people stay true I said Make the money don't let the money make you Change the game don't let the game change you I'll forever remain faithful All my people stay true Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac Watch the videos and get the girls in the back But if that's what I believe in and the reason that I rap Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac Watch the videos and get the girls in the back But if that's what I believe in and the reason that I rap Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track Make the money don't let the money make you Change the game don't let the game change you I'll forever remain faithful Stay true stay true And I said Make the money don't let the money make you Change the game don't let the game change you I'll forever remain faithful Stay true stay true stay true Forget about the fame I said forget about the fame I'll forever remain faithful Stay true stay true stay true
