Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - Make The Money Lyrics




[Verse 1:]
+
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 done it for the money I'd have been a f*cking 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
+
[Hook:]
+
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
+
[Verse 2:]
+
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 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, necklace
+
What I really need is a job off CraigsList
+
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
+
[Hook]
+
[Bridge: x2]
+
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
+
[Hook]
+
Forget about the fame
+
I said forget about the fame
+
I'll forever remain faithful
+
Stay true, stay true, stay true
+
