Talib Kweli - Getting To The Money lyrics

rate me

Hook:

My next move gotta be my best move on the cool

I'm coming through, make rule I'm getting to the money

so if you see me in the streets all my hustle game homie

take notes I'm getting to the money

and I ain't looking for no new friends,

all I'm looking for is my hands pimpin I'm getting to the money

nothing but the big face, big face what you're tryin to do

bitch I'm getting to the money

Nothing take it personal pimpin is all business

my mind on my grind the women is off limits

tryin to make a dollar out of dime is the pennies

I don't wanna hear anybody, if I don't make a percentage

money make the world go round, is not a game

I've been a lot of places man I've seen a lot of things

smoked a lot of drough and pour a whole lot of drink

you say you never see me that's cause I'll be at the bank

you gotta have motive one hustle just to survive

don't do business with em if they don't look you in the eyes

so call friends could be enemies and disguise

man live, women live, numbers never lie nigga

[Hook:]

What I hear you say the money is the voodoo

leave em I don't believe you

'cause the profit gotta get you to the people you fuck the eagle,

best believe that we don't need to be broke

and ain't our doubt to be pow

ain't nothing wrong with wanting more

is so dangerous to think they coming up the sin

that's a design to keep you in condition, you're leaving near

face on their skill, so people getting privilege yeah it's a purse

they went it on the trust front so they don't gotta work

they say it's easier for a camera lookin through the eye

of a nidle in the rich man to get in the heaven the applause for the previous

you immediately hang yourself

not in them chain till you start to make the change yourself

come on

[Hook:]

The mula..the chatter, the dough,

they say your purpose workless unless you was getting more

I suggest you get out of your behind and on the..

they say the time is money so I can't be given tisine

to any look the hundred tryin to waste a nigga money

she say the pussy prices and I say ha ha you funny

but you ain't gotta call baby you ain't got a house

I guess the pussy prices but you're ringin out the mouth

say you ain't let these lanes niggas what a hot tab

and you ain't got no money till he's here catch your cash

so baby I suggest you price a little less

but I don't bout a pussy he's a retch throw some rest

[Hook:]
