c.thoughts - slaves to the money lyrics
[verse 1]
they got you slaves in a business, you ain’t know you in this
no way to climb cause all you could do is witness
elite in the world playin’ chess with the system
your mission, listen, move, need permission
everybody wishes that they could join the ranks
of the most richest, n-gg-, money in the bank
the one percent got you livin’ in a matrix
they control the outcome if you gonna make it
truth is you livin’ in a dream
there’s no way in h-ll you could join that team
unless you shuckin’ and jivin’, hootin’ and hollerin’
you gotta play your part, n-gg-, learn all your politics
they own the prisons lockin’ n-gg-s up
they about they paper, you think they give a f-ck?
most of this country needs to wake up
the meltin’ pot is bubblin’ about to erupt
[chorus]
(money) cause we gotta get the paper
you gotta be the one to make it don’t let it make you, it’s
(money) got you workin’ to the bone
you never even home, you alone, just a slave to the
(money) and you gotta make it all
to make it to the top gotta know how to fall for the
(money) the root of all evil
it’s the only thing that enslaves the people
[verse 2]
in a white supremacy black is a felony
locked up or shot up, you boxed up as penalty
so you wash it down with a blunt and some hennessey
tryna think of ways to climb up to serenity
you workin’ for the man just so you could pay bills
blood, sweat and tears just to stay still
you got a lot of dreams of a house in the hills
so you make a plan to make the dream real
you don’t wanna be a slave, now you wanna be your master
wanna take control, be your forecaster
but you need the money and you gotta make a choice
do you conform or do you let them hear your voice?
make your own path, make your own life
create your own way, name your own price
you only get one, you get no do overs
time is your symphony and you’re the composer
[chorus]
(money) cause we gotta get the paper
you gotta be the one to make it don’t let it make you, it’s
(money) got you workin’ to the bone
you never even home, you alone, just a slave to the
(money) and you wanna make it all
to make it to the top gotta know how to fall for the
(money) the root of all evil
it’s the only thing that enslaves the people it’s
(money) cause we gotta get the paper
you gotta be the one to make it don’t let it make you, it’s
(money) got you workin’ to the bone
you never even home, you alone, just a slave to the
(money) and you wanna make it all
to make it to the top gotta know how to fall for the
(money) the root of all evil
it’s the only thing that enslaves the people
