Money...
Built it on my own, to get it done right
someone saying jump Jimmy'd rather kiss sky
disguises obsolete, my fashion too fly
recognize the rap aesthetic, the freshness true hype
Ripping thru this instant, insisting I be beautiful
money made it cool? fool, check your head, empty skull
culture out of step, falling off your pedestal
resentments and revenge transcend, now let em go
Natural class no upper middle low stratify
snatch that stolen data make that a ladder for them or I
caught the rapture lost the laughter, masters of war, die
it'll happen, rapping how I feel, healing my distractions
Pealing back layers popping calluses clapping
bored of my attachments, material clasping
spiritually lacking, acting like I'm convinced
I have everything I need, still I'm forcing confidence
This is for the lovers, my mothers, my brothers
one world power to the people tree huggers
truckers teachers, doctors, street sweepers
hustlers uncles primos and Marys
soldiers fighting, AWOL or buried
this goes out to you, now come on
This is for the lovers, my mothers, my brothers
one world power to the people tree huggers
truckers teachers, doctors, street sweepers
hustlers uncles primos and Marys
soldiers fighting, AWOL or buried
this goes out to you, now come on
Worried bout my self as if its all I've ever felt
jealous of the wealth I never held will never hold
whole world been divvied up, dues you pay, long controlled
nothing new its all the same unbalanced power is the goal
Focus on the dollar, to rise above the pain
more to life than money, monkeys being vain
boycott the corporate pushers, that sabotage change
I'm a fighter for the future living now freedom rang
Activate elastic space expansion that's the bang
sang a song called imagine then fell back in line again
hijack your zeitgeist, minimize how ya hang
puppets pulling strings sticky fingers stuck on thangs
Say that I'm a dreamer, smiling because i know I'm king
of the greatest expectations never met i need a drink
to help me to forget death, weed to feel the fire
love and happiness, truth music gets me high
This is for the lovers, my mothers, my brothers
one world power to the people tree huggers
truckers teachers, doctors, street sweepers
hustlers uncles primos and Marys
soldiers fighting, AWOL or buried
this goes out to you, now come on
This is for the lovers, my mothers, my brothers
one world power to the people tree huggers
truckers teachers, doctors, street sweepers
hustlers uncles primos and Marys
soldiers fighting, AWOL or buried
this goes out to you, now come on
Bail em out too big to fail, too fat for jail
cops and robbers coinage pop, toss a Molotov
money drop in value gold, diamonds kill, lost souls
too school to be that cold, my styles not what they sold
Beggars cant be choosers, doers teach to reach
for butter don't say please, grabbing extra cheese
breathing easy ain't that easy, looking hard ain't always hard
being real is sex appeal, whats on the charts ain't always art
This is for the lovers, my mothers, my brothers
one world power to the people tree huggers
truckers teachers, doctors, street sweepers
hustlers uncles primos and Marys
soldiers fighting, AWOL or buried
this goes out to you, now come on
This is for the lovers, my mothers, my brothers
one world power to the people tree huggers
truckers teachers, doctors, street sweepers
hustlers uncles primos and Marys
soldiers fighting, AWOL or buried
this goes out to you, now come on

Inspired, put it to the wire
cyberwarfare economic empire
are they hiring? higher than a kite
writing what i think, I think it ought to rhyme
Take the edge off, clearing out my mind
try to keep it simple, wimbeldon the line
shhh, moment of silence to get my focus
spoke with intent, now I'm bringing what I hope is
The right vibe arrive live and fly high
slide to the rythym and give in with all your sinnin
spining, spun out, do it with your tounge out
loosen up, loose yourself, now bring it down a notch
Slow burning, flow light inferno
turn those convictions to a glow bright commercial
urge you to listen to your heart is your virtue
hurts you sometimes but the pain is part to purge you
Now you know better, go get-er in a cardigan, old sweater
road weathered with a heart of gin
soda with a cube, just trying to cruise thru
already too deep, if I don't sleep I'll probably loose you
No better, go get-er in a cardigan, old sweater
road weathered with a heart of gin
soda with a cube, just trying to cruise thru
already too deep, if I don't sleep I'll probably loose you
Even higher, balancing the wire
military coup for the fascist empire
tension, buildin to the max
keep killing and killing'em killing'em killing'em
Shares rising capital gains
resistance is futile, labor pains
economic growth justifies the choke
smoke in the air while the countries go broke
Throwing rocks peace keeping cops
not in check in step with the boss
the man, man, dont ever bite the hand
that feeds the master plan contraband in the free
The need to believe I represent Jesus
lead us to the promise land, the promise land
where standing for beliefes is all that some are left
its a long way down from the tip'y top percent
Now you know better, go get-er in a cardigan, old sweater
road weathered with a heart of gin
soda with a cube, just trying to cruise thru
already too deep, if I don't sleep I'll probably loose you
No better, go get-er in a cardigan, old sweater
road weathered with a heart of gin
soda with a cube, just trying to cruise thru
already too deep, if I don't sleep I'll probably loose you
Trouble living how I'm living is a couple of bucks
short on time snorting rhymes not important I'm flying
grinding thru the motions floating know I've spoken my mind
broken dreams get repressed, you're not depressed you look fine
Dying to be feeling like i'm more than OK,
going crazy pressure piling up everyday
how I keep from going under makes me wonder sometimes
I've got the art in my heart fuck what they say
Now you know better, go get-er in a cardigan, old sweater
road weathered with a heart of gin
soda with a cube, just trying to cruise thru
already too deep, if I don't sleep I'll probably loose you
No better, go get-er in a cardigan, old sweater
road weathered with a heart of gin
soda with a cube, just trying to cruise thru
already too deep, if I don't sleep I'll probably loose you

Get out and grab it, hack brainy-aggro bat shit
lavish haves have not the path
money holds you captive
ate it, craved it, slave distracted
pacifist tact to civilize the classless
Contained in a game paid by your taxes
banks running trains gang raping your assets
membership submission submit systematic
pick up pix and axes head straight to where they stash it
Access is a must, bases blasting
Iraq they claimed was clutch, look what happened
Its past the point of drastic, maximize the masses
keep feeding these midgets massive penile attachments
Lamborghini so they see me in this or that whip
magic genie mac'n cheesy Ouija board of slap stick
freaky for the flash saran wrapping up your crack
uncle Dracula loving when you asleep a nice snack
Get it
go and get your money
Shift past sixth, laps, lifts, push ups
snatch it back from democratic-niss,
cloudy rooms, on a Sunday afternoon
triple pain glass ceiling windows cracked, it
Getting the shaft, would Jesus laugh? shepherd staff hit
sheepishly follow, sleeplessy hollow, bullet blast
blood on the saddle damned your I’s on the ball
it ain't a tragedy, it's tragic and that's some sad shit
Get it
go and get your money
Keep at it, active combative, upper crust jab it
the left left the right zoomed past it, crashed it
deny the voting booth is packed with, panic
Guantanamo is slamming
Drill deep fuck a planet most don't understand it
too busy running after Mickie D's nuts chapped lips
back against the Wall Streets feel like someone planned it
get up get out and get nothing unless you grab it
I keep my dream clean so it wont be jamming
we Jah Mon, loves the holy spirit everybody got one
get some and pass it
it's always up for grabs get out and grab it

I was bad to my heart, played games and went numb
reaching for stars, I dropped my ray gun
partied all night, now I'm stumbling in the dark
feeling like a satellite, way too high
Major Tom to flight control, cant reach the ground
everything's in slow motion, it's a long way down
started with nothing to loose, now that seems so foolish
try to keep my head up, at least above the boo-shish
I remember the traps, puff puff passing piss tests
that was then this is now, papas flexing fresh to death
each and every step I'd take, I took it too far
over-guesstimated limits, my physics aren't sharp
Far side of the moon walking, for so long I'm starving
"synthenaesia" got my tongue, rapping to Martians
pardon me I mean people, probably won't make it home
chance is crash landing has to happen, I pray that I don't
Reach for everything, childish dreams going green
nothing lasts forever, it never hurt to try
blinded by the lights, smoke machines and laser beams
sardines sweating in the basement, dance away the night
Reach for everything, universe, diamond rings
nothing lasts forever, it never hurt to try
blinded by the lights, smoke machines and laser beams
sardines sweating in the basement, dance away the night
Kinda understood, always one foot in the hood
one foot stepping up is, harder than it looked
put my money where my heart is, blast off from where I fell
caught in the momentum of breaking out of my self
Expanding like a bang, big theory making cents
an unemployed immigrant, of course I feel tense
optimism is a state of mind, took the time to find it
you stressin I'm checkin my mic, trying to change the climate
Beam me up, teleport elevate
planet earth is a bubble, before she pops in my face
"Im gonna put on an iron shirt" (Max Romeo)
atmosphere around here ain't a joke, each breath hurts
Flash caught me posing, with a cheesy smile
don't believe the hype the mirrors, only hip for a while
hopping on my bus pass, I know that I'm fly
I am my destination, so I'm taking my time
Reach for everything, childish dreams going green
nothing lasts forever, it never hurt to try
blinded by the lights, smoke machines and laser beams
sardines sweating in the basement, dance away the night
Reach for everything, universe, diamond rings
nothing lasts forever, it never hurt to try
blinded by the lights, smoke machines and laser beams
sardines sweating in the basement, dance away the night
Took time, but I loosened up my mind, loosened up my rhyme
everybody doin what they gotta do to find
more than a little, the worlds smallest fiddle,
is bigger than the slice of the pie in the riddle
Middle man, trying to make a dollar where he can
if he can then he can if he cant then he cant
stand on his own two feet, reach for a different kind of sweet
lime key locked in a pickle
Fickle kinda fight might take up all your time
blinded by the bright lights but OK nice try
back to the drawing board try a little more
loose my mind if I ask myself how many more times
Finding what was lost in the end becomes the plot
but you lost it again and your loosing all your friends
digging deeper doesn't matter if you reach earth
worth all the trouble when you're working for the hurt
Reach for everything, childish dreams going green
nothing lasts forever, it never hurt to try
blinded by the lights, smoke machines and laser beams
sardines sweating in the basement, dance away the night
Reach for everything, universe, diamond rings
nothing lasts forever, it never hurt to try
blinded by the lights, smoke machines and laser beams
sardines sweating in the basement, dance away the night

Give tomorrow, love today
mind made up no time to waste
should've would've could've my past mistakes
shaped who I am, Amazing Grace
Chasing beats, I lost my mind
say what you want I chose to climb
all out get mine define the times
lost war on drugs, commit war crimes
Lonely knows me, also shows me
loose myself start acting phony
"check my head" my homie told me
freak the art, my heart and soul needs
More than diamonds, platinum gold
old skool fantastic classicult
back to the future, get it to go
retro techno flow electro
Don't be too prude or proud
haters gonna hate, we all clown
any style its all allowed
get down get with it get wiggidy wild
Don't be too prude or proud
haters gonna hate, we all clown
any style its all allowed
get down get with it get wiggidy wild
Discotec Mr. Jones
raptivist, with a student loan
unpaid like a day on my microphone
time zone wrong feeling right at home
Sagging pants, bunched at my ankles
slacker fashion, no chain to dangle
all around the world my cable tangled up
lifting my position for a different angle
Keep it fresh, keep it growth
freedom rationed, going broke
I am my culture, west coast
I am HipHop I rock the boat
My two cent view educate the masses
legalize getting high off greenhouse gas
money goes crazy, made me Lucifer laughs
looking back do it better never give'em the last
Don't be too prude or proud
haters gonna hate, we all clown
any style its all allowed
get down get with it get wiggidy wild
Don't be too prude or proud
haters gonna hate, we all clown
any style its all allowed
get down get with it get wiggidy wild
Don't hold back, blow it away
time is money my money's today
don't sell me nothing don't like the taste
don't speak your mouth is full of hate
No place like now, clean it out
burn it up young phoenix, remix style
transcend the standard, boys and girls
Norm-vile's vile, I'm out of this world
Don't be too prude or proud
haters gonna hate, we all clown
any style its all allowed
get down get with it get wiggidy wild
Don't be too prude or proud
haters gonna hate, we all clown
any style its all allowed
get down get with it get wiggidy wild

Dove in without really knowing how to swim
took too big of a hit to be regretting it
now I'm stuck in the sky tryna run with a high
I've been on three years and I'm loving the life
The day she was born took me over the edge
OD'ed new life like I'm using my head
my heart took over, clean and sober
dopamine pumped up as I hold her
Closer than I ever tried to hold myself
I told myself and I'll tell him again
you got a one way ticket see it thru to the end
stay calm don't panic understanding is blessed
flesh and blood my own testing love
redefining the man I am, stepping up
wasn't hard my desire is to rise above
now I'm living with the rhythm and the path is trust
Used to think I was a wizard, now I wish I was a kid
knowing what I know now, I wonder how I'd live
give my love and all my patience, I hope she will forgive
if I die before my angel understands what I risk
Easily distracted by the hype and commotion
the garbage they selling, the lie they promoting
doing what I can to not get caught up
been down that road in a pick up truck
Optimistic with a spliff when the times get twisted
Buddha blessed don't stress off the pessimistic
the best take hits the ignorant don't listen
legend in my own mind my rhymes uplifting
Self indulgent with the bulging pockets
sacrifice life and you call it progress
this rhymes not for you, gold watches
wolfing on your flock, misbehaving godless
Marley one loving when I'm singing my song
how many bombs Bob Dylan when I'm clearing my bong
confiscated by the cops from the 209
one world one people one crime one time
Used to think I was a wizard, now I wish I was a kid
knowing what I know now, I wonder how I'd live
give my love and all my patience, I hope she will forgive
if I die before my angel understands what I risk
Buried underground sound reaching for light
everybody with heart knows I'm doing it right
slipped and tripped off the path mid flight
falling off, feeling lost, walk it out I'm alive
End of the tunnel, yet another illusion
not loosing momentum at the moment I'm grooving
whose in command everybody's the man
take advantage of the weak money in your hand
Whip slapping out status getting burned by the brand
it's a dog eat dog world and you're doing the dance
transcend tune out trend follow the plan
searching for the word cuz im giving a damn
Used to think I was a wizard, now I wish I was a kid
knowing what I know now, I wonder how I'd live
give my love and all my patience, I hope she will forgive
if I die before my angel understands what I risk
Used to think I was a wizard, now I wish I was a kid
knowing what I know now, I wonder how I'd live
give my love and all my patience, I hope she will forgive
if I die before my angel understands what I risk
"always difficult to say the least"

Give'em what they want, shiny whips, gods of gold
human nature no one hates ya more, than growin old
wake up alarmed late to floss dollars in my grill
barbecue pigs butts and lamb chops
Grinding paper finer than 120 with a touch of Johnny
walkin on water, leaving the makers mark on my broken heart
never mind it was never mine never's fine
fine with me more than ever before
I've been waiting too long for this side of me to get excited
breaking silence like a child who needs to be changed
needs to see change seeds and clones grow your own
broken home, breaking free breaking beats breaking bad
Breaking anything that isn't up to par
that's probably why i'm stuck with, half a broken heart
never mind mind it was never mine mine
never's fine fine with me more than ever before
Kids choking, smoke up in the air
kicking down doors
kids chokin, smoke up in the air
prepared for war
My daughter's growing faster, than I'll ever grow my flow
scripture gripped my plow as I proceed to rip a hole
in the dark, squinting harder seeing farther
pick the scab and peel the dark apart
till its large enough to fit my soul
The light's too bright, luminescent hype hoot and holler
diss a scholar disassociate from those who do
dissing more than all they do is dance dissin truth
disenchant a common man, grams running out of speed
Burnt my energy, burning man, burning bushes in a trance
drowned my dream in sorrow, can I borrow yours?
interest rates screaming "it was all a fiend!"
leave a loan behind sketchy steps over seas
Seize the day tonight, tighten up my belt
fell for a feeling like surviving now I'm digging deep
living like my hearts against the wall, but it isn't
giving what I have, never mind mind it was never mine
Kids choking, smoke up in the air
kicking down doors
kids choking, smoke up in the air
prepared for war
It's all in your head, again and again
pushing on my cynic, tripping on wind
front lines hommie homer's ill he ought to stay at home
plucking petals, cheap poetry resurrect your self
Used to be strong, used to want to peak together
settle for now or never, green steam kinda clever
instead i'm rolling rolling, holding on to whats left of hoping, coasting
fumes in my empty tank
Choking on my anger, stranger staring back
cracked the windows open, smoke in my rear view
tears in the morning dew on the blades gave less than my potential
flew the coop when cupid shot astray
Stupid is as loosing does, wasn't confident enough
excuses got a few, blew my fuse going clueless,
truth is I probably do what you diss, never mind
it was never mine, never's fine with me, fine with never yours
Kids choking, smoke up in the air
kicking down doors
kids choking, smoke up in the air
prepared for war
Kids choking, smoke up in the air
kicking down doors
kids choking, smoke up in the air
prepared for war
