King Tee - Monay lyrics

[ King T ] I never wanted to work for muthaf**as That told me what to do, so I did my own thing Sometimes sh** got thick, but I made it through Now I'm stackin chips everytime the phone ring I'm in a world of liars and carnivores Caught between fires, dope dealin suppliers But I must maintain, think on a level much higher This sh** ain't worth a 25 to lifer People always askin me how I made it in this trade Papparazzi got my biz front page Well, all I gotta say is it's a good livin' Beside cars and women this sh** gets the bills paid [ CHORUS ] (People of the world, what we're livin for?) That money (money) fast money (money) yeah (People of the world, what we're dyin for?) That money (money) fast money (money) yeah (Everybody's goin crazy for) That money (money) fast money (money) yeah (f**in with your head, I can get some of yo) Money (money) cash money (money) yeah [ Dr. Dre ] How many n***as can say they got they own Got they sh** together, got a a nice stash to do whatever Ah, you're sittin at home, hatin on the next man That's makin cheddar, tryin to get his sh** together I dreamed of hittin licks when I first got in the mix Way back when DJ's was heavy in the crates for breaks And ain't a damn thing changed But me movin out the firin range to a plushed out estate Small technicalities y'all heard for years n***as with the problems always out to battle me But I gets my swerve on, don't give a f** It's just a n***a talkin sh** about his bullsh** salary [ CHORUS ] [ King T ] Since talk is extra it's cut short like Webster's Show me the money or invest this I'm street smart, f** a lecture Messin with mine'll get you put on a stretcher Lock your jaw like a pitbull apply the pressure Straight bout it, buildin ideas with self-made millionaires To get the dancefloors crowded Hah, how's that black, limousine pull up on the scene Ladies clean, deja-vu's of a wet dream I got enough cream to cater women For any chick that can fade me more than Henny Plus the remedy to make that hard sh** At the end of each quarter I'm reapin the largeset harvest If I ain't in L.A. sippin Alizé Plottin how to make a meal ticket in a day All I gotta say it's a good livin Besides cars and women this sh** gets the bills paid [ CHORUS 2X ] The root of all evil And I got a gang of that sh** Whaaaat! (Money makes the world go round Money makes the world go round)
