INTRO

*Clears throat*

Yeah, yeah

Yeah

They say that money rule the, world

VERSE 1

I ain’t saying I grew up not having any

But I still lacked a lot so Imma need that dooh in plenty

I’m not entirely different homie but I’m not like many

I’m just another wise clown that really loves his pennies

Pockets empty, wallets empty, that’s a bloody struggle

But complaints never bring me chumz so I hustle hustle

I was never really a fan of illegal means

But I still spent hours in the lab cooking like some fiends

Dreams of Kendrick status with a Jay-Z bank account

Screw the fame I would rather have shillings in large amounts

Even if the cash was absent, I would still have some much passion

For this craft of mine and still be putting my plans into action

White collar jobs? I ain’t into that and such

Guess it’s true, if you do what you love, you won’t have to do that much

And money’s never been the motive, but you can’t live without it

So count it up

Count it up

Count it up

Count it

CHORUS:

They say the money rules the world, I know you here that

I ain’t sure how true that is

But we’re living in a world

Where everyone is doing what they can

Just so they can stack the chips

And youngins chasing dreams for some pay

And people do the most for a plate

Charlie Browns earning peanuts

Government be chilling like it’s nothing

When all the people really want is some

Easy Money

(Easy, Money’

Easy, Money

Easy, Money)

Put in hard work for some

Easy Money

(Easy, Money’

Easy, Money

Easy, Money)

People kill, people steal for some

Easy Money

(Easy, Money’

Easy, Money

Easy, Money)

You’d be surprised what people do for some

Easy Money

(Easy, Money’

Easy, Money

Easy, Money)

You’d be surprised what people do for some easy money…

VERSE 2

Dreams of Kendrick status with a Jay-Z bank account

Probably the reason why these kids are dropping out

Some just chasing money and some women and some clout

Others hate the system and they know what they’re about

Kids are flexing on the gram with Daddy’s cash

He’s a politicians who got all that cash from stealing taxes

Reason what the nation’s poor and still in freaking lack

Gava hawajali wanachi they're just here to stack

Na makarau wanaulizia hongo

Na kuwatesa vijana

Na kuwaua tu kiholela

Ata bila sababu baana

Na bado mabanii hukazana tu na

Maisha yao ya kijangili

Na wanawake wengine kuwalisha watoto

Kwa kuuza mwili

Na si eti ni watu wabaya

Ni vile tu hakuna njia nyingine

Itabidi wakazane na maisha hatuwezi kuwajugde

Juu pia pengine

Labda ungekuwa hapo pia

Earning money via dubois means

Cuz we’re living in a world, where people get the coin

By any means

Yeah this city is a jungle, I keep telling people

Money may be said to be the root of all evil

But you ought to check yourself before you say such

Because evil stems from the heart of all people

Yeah this city is a jungle, I keep telling people

Money may be said to be the root of all evil

But you ought to check yourself before you say such

Because evil stems from the heart of all people

CHORUS

They say the money rules the world, I know you here that

I ain’t sure how true that is

But we’re living in a world

Where everyone is doing what they can

Just so they can stack the chips

And youngins chasing dreams for some pay

And people do the most for a plate

Charlie Browns earning peanuts

Government be chilling like it’s nothing

When all the people really want is some

Easy Money

(Easy, Money’

Easy, Money

Easy, Money)

Put in hard work for some

Easy Money

(Easy, Money’

Easy, Money

Easy, Money)

People kill, people steal for some

Easy Money

(Easy, Money’

Easy, Money

Easy, Money)

You’d be surprised what people do for some

Easy Money

(Easy, Money’

Easy, Money

Easy, Money)

You’d be surprised what people do for some easy money…
