for love not money - poetik lyrics
[intro: manny sauni]
money don’t change you
it just makes you [?]
what you already are
[verse 1: poetik]
headphones blazing, microphone checking
bringing fire to the booth that poetik done [?]
still dressed in the same threads an uso slept in
serve ’em like buffets, keep ’em coming back for seconds
needle in your arm—nah, place it on the record
let it spin; sip when i spit, swallow it like medicine
i do it for the love that i’m shown when i rhyme
represent for my usos locked up, doing time
hold tight for my people struggling to make a dime
tales from a ghetto kids that were born to shine
when i had jack, it was something to believe in
now i see clearly, call it i*m*c’in
live and breathe music and it never gon’ stop
if i slit my wrist, but i bleed hip*hop (bleed hip*hop)
served jim beam, pour it out for those passed on
freestyling at block parties, that was my passion
cardboard boxes spread across the concrete
b*boys spin in circles while they ride the bomb beat
if it’s done for the love then why you hatin’?
you need to smoke a little bud till your eyes asian
with a bottle of rum to the bottom, i’m jack sparrow
hip*hop is my desire like pharaoh, pharaoh, pharaoh
[chorus: manny sauni]
money don’t change you
it just makes you [?]
what you already are
they can’t complain
if you stay the same
the one they know from the start
[verse 2: storme]
headphones blazing, microphone check
i represent the [?], this is not a lecture
but i be kicking out music, picking me up when i’m feeling down
that microphone always seems to find me whenever i get around
and bring it back like a refund
rocking a fresh ralph lauren polo ’cause it’s a cheap one
straight from the south [?]—you dig it?
broke like kick it, deliver the sickness, can i get a witness?
no, i don’t give a d*mn; bad man with a master plan
advance like i never last, dancing like i had ants in my pants
check it, i’m reckless on a record when i intercept it
with intellect, i’m more connected than an intersection
i’ll reckon, we could rise up like an erection
bringing back the essence when i be teaching you a lesson
like this and like that and like this and, uh
flow smooth when i groove in my condition
us, so listen up, uh
[chorus: manny sauni]
money don’t change you
it just makes you [?]
what you already are
they can’t complain
if you stay the same
the one they know from the start
money don’t change you
it just makes you [?]
what you already are
they can’t complain
if you stay the same
the one they know from the start
