geto boys - ain't with being broke lyrics
“better to have money and not to need it;
than to need it and not to have it!”
[intro]
money, more money (i ain’t with being broke!)
i’ve got to get my hands on some
[willie d]
lemonheads don’t quote, i ain’t with bein broke
i’m tired of my mother bustin -ss for other folks
gettin nowhere fast
while the ho on the corner makin mo’ money sellin -ss!
i ain’t with this outfit
i gotta make some moves to buy g jones some nice sh-t
before she k!ll herself, workin on a job all week
that don’t even make the f-ckin ends meet
i walk down main street
growls in my tummy cause i ain’t had nuttin to eat
so how the f-ck am i gon’ thank?
when i’m in a funky sweatsuit and syl b-tchin to me
her -ss is tooken out puttin non-stop
make the swap and go shop
i said that to say this and every note
i ain’t with being broke!
[hook]
money, more money (i ain’t with being broke!)
got to get my hands on some
money, more money
got to get my hands on some
[bushwick bill]
i was born in a cheap–ss hospital
brought to 5th ward, stuffed right in the middle
of a rock and a hard spot
before my dad got that -ss i was already counted out
what a motherf-ckin pity
momma couldn’t afford milk so we had to suck her t-tty
in the kitchen every night i would see
rats and roaches eatin better than me
there was no thanksgiving
they say i’m a fool for thanking god for living
but bein broke ain’t no motherf-ckin joke
well out in ’91 sh-t just ain’t happenin bro
i never had a god d-mn thing
christmas came and went, without a choo-choo train
in the ghettos gifts get stole or bought
ain’t no motherf-ckin santa claus!
[hook]
money, more money (i ain’t with being broke!)
i’ve got to get my hands on some, sweet mo-neyyyy
money, more money (i ain’t with being broke!)
i’ve got to get my hands on some
[scarface]
let the gunshots rang out, blow my god d-mn brains out
if you’ve been there, you know what i’m talkin about
gettin over tops my agenda
the easy way out, is to jump out of a window
but that’s a dopefiend move gone left
i’ll k!ll you, but not myself
i tried to do the right things major
but that didn’t put no food on the table
went back to school to get my g.e.d
but who’s gonna hire a motherf-cker like me?
… mcdonald’s don’t fit
they work you like a dog plus they talk too much sh-t!
without them dollar signs
it’s like livin and dyin at the same time
and you wonder why a motherf-cker sell dope?
he ain’t with being broke!
[hook]
money, more money (i ain’t with being broke!)
i’ve got to get my hands on some, yeahhhh
money, more money (i ain’t with being broke!)
i’ve got to get my hands on some, sweet sweet
[outro]
money – yeahhhh, money – yeahh
talkin ’bout money
yeahhh money
talkin ’bout that mean green
talkin ’bout that money
money, more money
we’ve got to get our hands on some
we need money.. {-fades out-}
