Talib Kweli - Fuck The Money lyrics

rate me

Ft. Cassper Nyovest

(Hook x2)

Fuck the money, fuck the money, fuck the money

Fuck the money, fuck the money, fuck the money

Fuck the money, fuck the money, fuck the money

Fuck the money, fuck the money, fuck the money, fuck the money

(Verse: Cassper Nyovest)

I used to put the money first, y'all still do

But that hardly works cause y'all still ask for prices from

The waiters and you're hardly served

Ya pay once, ya pay foreva, that ya can't reverse

That's why I ain't paid Talib for no fucking verse

Mutual respect over below payments

Yo mind accepted marriage when money proposed slavery

I been listening and four quarters of y'all won't make it

I'm Africa's number one, that's a fucking bold statement

And I'm the most relevant

Ya failing to admit that is yo biggest impediment

We're not on the same level man

Yo dream girl sent me nudes and I'm checking 'em

Underneath the table as I'm having dinner with the president

Man fuck the money

O tsenya tlhogo then otha ka plane

Eh sane, bein' broke's for makgokgorane

They love cause they know I'm being real to my peeps

There's niggas richer than me who still wish they were me

What's up!

(Hook x2)

(Verse 2: Talib Kweli)

Money make niggas break promises

Money turn niggas into pharmacists

Money make ya drop out of colleges

But the bars that I spit through God exist

Who we be, that's who we are

Versace, Gucci, Louis Vuitton

My taste expensive as a superstar

So I take what I want like a coup d'état

From profit sharin' to profiteerin'

Now they stop and stare cause we cop McLarens

But we not preparin' for God's appearance

Too busy dominatin' and domineerin'

Our competition securing our position

Now our greed dangerous as a heart condition

Rap niggas lie like politicians

So I got to tell the truth, that's a smart decision

Capitalism is a cataclysm

If white colla crime is a bad decision

Then the makers who routinely crash the system

Would quickly get they asses dragged to prison

Need money to eat, need money to live

Need money to keep, need money to give

But when pursuit of the money is yo only goal

Then ya lose control, then ya lose yo soul

Dollas and cents to rob our children of their innocence

So when it's sent, we come to our nation's capital to cash the check

Accordin' to Dr. King when he saw it clear in his dream

'We built the pyramids, they built a pyramid scheme'

(Hook x2)
