[Intro] [Verse 1: Apathy] I'mma make a lot of friends and I'mma make a lot of foes I'mma make a lot of songs and I'mma make a lot of dough I'mma make a lot of kids angry when I let 'em know that I'mma quit rappin' if they don't support it anymo' They ain't buying records but they comin' to my shows 'cuz they can't download a performance or buy clothes You s**a' motherf**'a, I hope you decompose Hope somebody make you work for free then see how it goes I'mma make a lot of paper then quit this crazy scene Used to read articles in The Source magazine No matter what, nothin' ever f**ed with my dream 'til I had to grow up and then it f**ed with my cream All that glitters not gold it would seem I got props from Rakim, got props from Preme But props don't pay my bills or fill stomach's So either I'mma make some money or say f** it [Hook][x2] I'm gonna make a lot of money
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene [Verse 2: Apathy] Shout out to the DJ's who used to carry mad heavy crates Rocked parties, paid dues, and become heavyweights Then along came these vultures, not half as nice But they got serato and charge clubs half the price f**in' up the dude who spent half his life Studyin' the techniques and made the sacrifice And celebrities get paid to play their ipod Sounding like a train-wreck (oh my god) I'mma student like a mutant at Xavier school's Did my homework, paid dues, obeyed the rules So I'mma make alotta money 'cuz it's never guranteed It's not about greed it's just tryin' to succeed I live, eat, sleep, breathe, and bleed Rap sh**, that's it, really all I need I just wanna pay bills maybe have a a couple seeds Get money, green, cheddar, cream, paper, dough, cheese [Hook\Outro]
