Lyrics
Here trying to think of ways to get your money up
Contemplating ways to improve financial status
The government and system is trying to fool us
Criticizing the deceptive nature of the government and system
A 9 to 5 and saving up will lead us to the dream
Suggesting that working a regular job and saving can lead to success
Or selling drugs in the streets could pile you up some cream
Pointing out the alternative of illegal activities for financial gain
A lot of people don't know what the ghetto's like
Expressing misunderstanding of the challenges in the ghetto
They think chaos and drama fuels our appetite
Correcting misconceptions about chaos and drama in the community
We're just making our way, moving at God's speed
Emphasizing the journey in alignment with God's pace
Some cats ain't trying to wait, got lots of mouths to feed
Highlighting the urgency for some to provide for their families
Some think the only route is to become a crook
Noting the misconception that resorting to crime is the only option
Rob dudes outside the club or chicks for pocketbooks
Mentioning criminal activities such as robbery for survival
They think that life's a game except there's no timeouts
Comparing life to a game with no timeouts and the consequences of it
They're out here killing chasing fame or IG clout
Commenting on the destructive pursuit of fame or social media clout
Just here to shed some light and speak truth to the youth
Expressing a desire to enlighten and provide truth to the younger generation
There's ways to solve our problems, let's get down to the roots
Advocating for addressing problems at their roots
We could do so much better, achieve a million things
Encouraging the community to strive for greater achievements
We share the blood and spirit of great queens and kings
Highlighting the shared heritage with great historical figures
We got to come together, don't let shit bring you down
Reiterating the need for unity in the face of challenges
Although you see the smiles you miss the tears of a clown
-Paying your dues with struggle is a small price to pay
-We got to come together to make a better way
-We got to come together, don't let shit bring you down
-Although you see the smiles you miss the tears of a clown
-Paying your dues with struggle is a small price to pay

-Let's talk about some wealth, knowledge is what we need
Emphasizing the importance of knowledge and wealth
Stop wasting time on nonsense, invest in what you read
Discouraging wasting time and encouraging investment in education
Create investment plans, it doesn't take too much
Promoting the creation of investment plans
All you need's a phone and bank account those things are a must
Listing essential tools for financial growth
Start with a finance app, it's easy to attain
Suggesting the ease of starting with a finance app
Invest in small amounts weekly for consistent gains
Encouraging consistent small investments for financial gains
Don't matter if you're old now would be the perfect time
Highlighting the never-too-late aspect of financial planning
You got a hundred bucks it's nothing to invest a dime
Encouraging even small investments for long-term benefits
Compounding interest is a way to make shit multiply
Explaining the concept of compounding interest for wealth multiplication
To set your family up for generations when you die
Stressing the importance of providing for future generations
A whole life insurance policy is really sweet
Highlighting the benefits of a whole life insurance policy
A lawyer or investor's sure to get you on your feet
Suggesting the positive impact of legal and financial advisors
Not trying to sound like i know everything and think i'm cool
Expressing humility and acknowledging the desire for earlier education
Just wished they taught me this back when i was in high school
Reflecting on missed opportunities for financial education
Just like Rihanna trying to give you all an umbrella
Referencing Rihanna's philanthropy as an example
We can do anything if we just come together
Advocating unity for collective empowerment
We got to come together, don't let shit bring you down
Reiterating the call for unity and resilience in the face of challenges
Although you see the smiles you miss the tears of a clown
-Paying your dues with struggle is a small price to pay
-We got to come together to make a better way
