Mobb Deep - The Money (Version 2) lyrics

[Hook]: Havoc (Prodigy) Stop smilin', and still don't nothin' move but the money (Leavin' permanent scars, like getting splashed on the island) Stop smilin', but still don't nothin' move but the money (Gimme yours, or get your manhood taken) Stop smilin', and still don't nothin' move but the money (Put you on your back, send you on your way, yo good lookin') (Yo what you wanna do with that mac, double numbered) [Verse 1: Havoc] Hit you up, take that cash, just like you wondered Takin' yours to survive, it's only matter of time I'm snatchin, livin' grimy, runnin', never look back The root of evil got me actin' like that Life ain't a game, the streets is mortal combat I wasn't blessed with the silver spoon Since my born, I was doomed, confined to one room Now you's a customer Cop it from natural born hustlas (that's what he thought son) Stupid kid, you get extorted [Hook]: Havoc (Prodigy) Stop smilin, but still don't nothin' move but the money (New York, New York, get bent, keep wildin') Stop smilin', and still don't nothin' move but the money (Leavin' permanent scars, like getting splashed on the island) Stop smilin', but still don't nothin' move but the money (Gimme yours, or get your manhood taken) Stop smilin', and still don't nothin' move but the money (Put you on your back, send you on your way, yo good lookin') [Verse 2: Prodigy] (Havoc) Open your eyes, get wise, and look alive, pay attention I'm manifestin', my slugs be leavin' n***as guessing You tried to graduate, but didn't know enough lessons Time is of the essence, and yours is runnin' out Fast, you won't last, livin' out your life like that You shoulda got down with my crew, slingin' cracks international But instead, you wanna merge with the rivals And moves like that could end up homicidal You suicidal, and I'm (alive on arrival) Play the drug game with precision, and never with division I'm tryna see addition, food to fill my kitchen Some f*ggot n***as snitchin' givin' info We'll do a drive by, in a stolen black pinto With tinted windows, bullets will flurry through your system Your man ran, lucky for him, because we missed him We'll catch him on the rebound, but see now I'm tryna make this money and you tryna stop me, what's it gonna be now? You stand up to my crew and get laid down On the ground with the big four pound You hear the sound on the other side of town Where caps get peeled Break you off, love, love, give you somethin' to feel [Hook]: Havoc (Prodigy) Stop smilin, but still don't nothin' move but the money (New York, New York, get bent, keep wildin') Stop smilin', and still don't nothin' move but the money (Leavin' permanent scars, like getting splashed on the island) Stop smilin', but still don't nothin' move but the money (Gimme yours, or get your manhood taken) Stop smilin', and still don't nothin' move but the money (Put you on your back, send you on your way, yo good lookin') [Verse 3: Havoc] You don't have to tell me twice I know when to chill when I have to But if I have to, I'll still clap you I'll crack through your fortress You couldn't hold it down, so you lost it No crew could withstand the forces Never second guess me, just bless me Stop smilin', bodies stackin', dead presidents pilin' We wildin', lifted, terror three sixes They got a petition, for my conviction Rise to the occasion When it's time for blazin', on the 41st side n***as is cravin' for beef, we can handle it It ain't nothin' cause we've been through it And yo kid, the hood we ran through it since young It used to be candy, but now it's guns Stickin' n***as son, my job ain't done [Hook]: Havoc Stop smilin, but still don't nothin' move but the money Stop smilin', and still don't nothin' move but the money Stop smilin', but still don't nothin' move but the money Stop smilin', and still don't nothin' move but the money
