So, can I get a price check? Yeah, can I get a price check?

On your life and the side effects

Of the money, the greed, the debt, the schemes

Check one, two, check two, three

Get a mic check, yeah, I'd rather get a mic check

D-rapht coming live and direct

From the West to the South, to the North to the East

Check one, two, check two, three

[Verse 1]

Man, my mother was never made of the money

Iron maiden, never running away from her sons and

Daughters, always had food and water

Never knew how she afforded my Jordan's but bought 'em

I wore them 'til water would leak through the rips

Never looked poor like Oliver Twist, never wanted more

Or knock on your door like I was a Mormon

Swore to never be down or caught in a rip

Nah, when money came, it was gone with the wind

On a shopping list longer than the Lord of the Rings

Ha, a sunny day, you ain't short of a thing

When you're born into the game holding four of the kings

Yeah, believe it, my dad was a musician

By bringing a bass drum to cook up in the kitchen

Wouldn't feed us with all his get rich scheming

Feeding his demons, life's a bitch

To skyrocket, he forgot all the people in his locket

For a profit, leave another man rotten

Notes in his pocket nailed in his coffin

'Cause yesterday's pain ain't forgotten

[Hook]

So, can I get a price check? Yeah, can I get a price check?

On your life and the side effects

Of the money, the greed, the debt, the schemes

Check one, two, check two, three

Get a mic check, yeah, I'd rather get a mic check

D-rapht coming live and direct

From the West to the South, to the North to the East

Check one, two, check two, three

[Verse 2]

I knew this girl that you would sell your soul for

She would control your world like the Cold War

No dole form, sworn for the riches erection

Oh, you gotta Rex or a Lexus?

Yeah, the temptress will give you attention

And hence, all you have to do is mention the money

It's like sex; you got none, you want it

Now she's all up in your wallet for the money

[Hook]

So, can I get a price check? Yeah, can I get a price check?

On your life and the side effects

Of the money, the greed, the debt, the schemes

Check one, two, check two, three

Get a mic check, yeah, I'd rather get a mic check

D-rapht coming live and direct

From the West to the South, to the North to the East

Check one, two, check two, three

[Verse 3]

Was always taught the root of all evil

He who will steal from the pocket of his people

Eagle-eyed, survive in the dark

Ravenous sharks, welcome to the business

Oh, I live this, knocked off the hinges

Our offspring addicted to syringes of money

Yeah, axe wielding civilian children kill for

Some Paris Hilton million dollar money

Some of these kids live the sunniest life

Still running from the law like Bonnie and Clyde

Still deal, still pedaling pills and rock

Steal for what? You got all the dollar bills you want

[Bridge]

("The money" "The-the-the-the-the money")

It makes the world go round, it makes the world go

("The money" "The-the-the-the-the money")

It makes the girls go down, it makes the girls go

("The money" "The-the-the-the-the money")

It makes the world go round, it makes the world go

("The money" "The-the-the-the-the money")

It makes the girls go down
