(A nigga always been about the money)

While you fluke and fake it, I bake the realest shit
You won't catch a flake
Claiming my stake in the game
Federal notes reserved for chasing
I don't pursue the Hennessey
Penning drunken deliveries
Going 85, praying I stay safe
I just tryna make it
Flip a Mercedes outta Franklins
Even if the passenger is vacant
That's confirmation
I refuse to be complacent with waiting
Waste of my time
That's why I stay in one lane on the highway
HOV, that's my lane
I'm not the patient type
While you sleep on a gurney
I'm burning rubber to catch a flight to get there a quarter to nine
You wanna get it? Get it early 'fore they get in line
They won't hesitate to get it first
F*ck yo state of mind
They know, we know, you know, I know
"I gotta take care of mine"
Peace is at the finish line and we race through a field of mines
Unless you got wings, you gotta risk it all
Be ready to lose a leg in order to stand tall
Might die tomorrow, you on speed dial when Earth calls
It's dark walls but bright at the end of the hall
So why you stressing?
Instead, you better tally up them blessings
I was supposed to die when I was born, that's a test
You gotta fight against the odds to survive, that's the message
People will watch you burn alive
Gotta keep discretion
Discredit what's mine if I ever discuss my methods
(A nigga always been about the money)
Therefore before I speak, I make sure what I preach is compelling
Yeah, I'm out for

(A nigga always been about the money)

Now on this surface, I switched up my thinking cuz I had to
I'm switching up my diet, I'm supposed to
Before we die, don't act like I ain't told you
All I aim to achieve is growth
In different ways than what these folks boast
For different reasons than them making toasts
I know I need the dough just to make it expand
Therefore I knead the dough, form the bread in my hand
The game that you see is chess, I see we all gotta eat, understand?
It just became a simpler plan
I could just spice up a beat
Cooking out similar pans
Cooking up different flows
Better train for all currents
See you kayaking up my stream to see my point, I know it
In every line, I'm going
Up to the sky, I'm blowing
Hope every line bestow it
I've chosen my destiny
Step in the mind of a poet
I wear my pride and I show it
That's the skin color, the gold and all the ma'f*cking cream
(Gold and all the cash rules everything around)
So what the f*ck do you mean?
I'll educate myself and my seed
Show love to my queen and pursue the green
Let me roll in dough how y'all roll off beans
These federal notes are more than a need
So on the blue Benjis, the reddest of beams
All for the money hunting
Money hungry niggas, coming for hundreds
Gunning for the lumpiest sums
The one in a million wanting a million and one
I told Aaliyah I'll see her when I'm done, nigga

(A nigga always been about the money)

Cash rules everything around (A nigga)
So how could you not be (Bout the money)
