Money is the motivation, I don't need anything else
I mean I, got my family, check
Got my health, check
Only thing missing is abundance of wealth
And anything a n***a offer I could do it by myself
Money is the motivation, I don't need anything else
I mean I, got my family, check
Got my health, check
Only thing missing is an abundance of wealth
And I do it for my color for, f*ck you thing the struggle is for
I walk with my head up, that's even though I'm fed up
Like J Cole, i'mma get up, and I won't ever let up
I seen the haters in the crowd, they need to get their bread up
If they was paid, why would they hate me, I'm just trying to spread love
They acting different, how you petty, people shooting up the schools
How you find the strength to gossip, half our brothers turned to goons
The trap, the police ghost busters, killing us with no justice
No direction, no compass, no leaders, just puppets
Money is the motivation, I don't need anything else
I mean I, got my family, check
Got my health, check
Only thing missing is abundance of wealth
And anything a n***a offer I could do it by myself
Money is the motivation, I don't need anything else
I mean I, got my family, check
Got my health, check
Only thing missing is an abundance of wealth
And I do it for my color for, f*ck you thing the struggle is for
Police killing like it's a style, but in no fashion is that cool
That's why I preach to the youth like boys and girls be stay in school
Teach them that money is a tool, is a fire to your fuel
It's a diamond to your jewel, it's like the water to a pool
I be trying to buy some freedom but they still treat us like slaves
That's why I'm finding it ironic how we buy into their ways
For a bit of piece of fame, you're going to spend it on a chain, you're going to spend it on A whip and at the end they own they own that shit
So if I had a million dollars, I would go and buy some real estate
Go and visit all the hoods and help the ones on section 8
Go and give it to my lawyers just to beat my n****s case
Cause I just payed to get you there, we ain't meeting face to face
If you had a million dollars, where would you go to invest?
Would you give it to the needy or go cop you a Rolex?
If you had a million dollars, would you save or spend it all?
Guess we want to change the world but right now we're here to ball
Money is the motivation, I don't need anything else
I mean I, got my family, check
Got my health, check
Only thing missing is abundance of wealth
And anything a n***a offer I could do it by myself
Money is the motivation, I don't need anything else
I mean I, got my family, check
Got my health, check
Only thing missing is an abundance of wealth
And I do it for my color for, f*ck you thing the struggle is for
I walk with my head up, that's even though I'm fed up
Like J Cole, i'mma get up, and I won't ever let up
I seen the haters in the crowd, they need to get their bread up
If they was paid, why would they hate me, I'm just trying to spread love
I come from hunger, ancestors rooted deep in inside of slave culture
I'm black on black on black so carve that on my grave sculpture
Trinidad, Barbados, Haiti, many of y'all better pray for safety
My chain hangs without me lynched and white people pay me
The Mexicans my comrades, we got brown skin
I grew up with my people, you don't like it, you'll get drowned here
Don't call my homies wetbacks, I hope that you can swim with them
Never been a f*cking fish but I'll be one to fing for them
I don't need respect if you're just doing it for clout bitch
Mind your f*cking business, keep my name out your mouth bitch
Wrong n****s here, you'll be dripping like a spout bitch
But back to color bragging be, cause that's what I'm about bitch
I don't preach hate unless it's love, you can debate me hoe
You don't like me saying bitch? Guess that's what that makes you hoe
Oh you disagree to tell me what the f*ck you take me for
Someone who gives a f*ck about you say or what you could make me hoe
