Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Make The Money lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1]

Now, this is my job, I will not quit it

Pulled me out the depths when I thought that I was finished

Yeah I questioned if I could go the distance

That's just the work, regardless of who's listening, listening

Listen, see I was meant to be a warrior

Fight something amongst me, leave here victorious

Classroom of kids, or a venue performing

If I'd had done for the money I'd have been a fucking lawyer

Concrete, bagabon, van telling stories

Humbled by the road, I'm realizing I'm not important

See life's a beautiful struggle, I record it

Hope it helps you maneuvering through yours and

That's why we stay in the lab at night

I've been staring into this pad for over half my life

A true artist won't be satisfied

So I guess that's the sacrifice

And I say...

[Hook]

Make the money, don't let the money make you

Change the game, don't let the game change you

I'll forever remain faithful

All my people stay true

I say...

Make the money, don't let the money make you

Change the game, don't let the game change you

I'll forever remain faithful

All my people stay true

[Verse 2]

Forget about the fame, fortune and the mansion

Sitting and tripping watching myself on a plasma

Yeah, I start slipping when I'm thinking about that stuff

Ego won't swole until the karma catches that up, that up

How my grandma's number one grandson

I lost myself to remember who that was

We start thinking about some kicks, a necklace

What I really need is a job off craig's list

Take away the dot com, name, love

Fans, twitter followers, and the buzz

See, you keep the issues but you take away the drugs

And I had to find out who I really was

Who I really wasn't

So sick of who I was becoming

Yeah, tired of running

Time to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn to love him

[Hook]

Make the money, don't let the money make you

Change the game, don't let the game change you

I'll forever remain faithful

All my people stay true

I said...

Make the money, don't let the money make you

Change the game, don't let the game change you

I'll forever remain faithful

All my people stay true

[Bridge](x2)

Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac

Watch the videos and get the girls in the back

But if that's what I believe in, and the reason that I rap

Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track

[Hook]

Make the money, don't let the money make you

Change the game, don't let the game change you

I'll forever remain faithful

Stay true, stay true

And I said...

Make the money, don't let the money make you

Change the game, don't let the game change you

I'll forever remain faithful

Stay true, stay true, stay true

[Outro]

Forget about the fame

I said forget about the fame

I'll forever remain faithful

Stay true, stay true, stay true
