ichokas - about the money lyrics

[uncle phil speech]:
what you do for a living should provide you with a sense of pride and personal fulfillment
it should tap into that part of you that has something valuable to give to the world
it shouldn’t be just about money

[verse 1]:
i’m not here for that pablo money
now y’all don’t wanna hear about how i got no money
imma tell you straight up, i ain’t no scarface pretender
not here for eminem’s benjamins or heartache, surrender
your minds to art over cash, how the departed do last
big and pac were about their hustle, the hard work and craft
i be grinding, like we about to see an eclipse again
my motivations my family, i don’t need no more kicks again
no more material sh-t, i’m here for a real reason
build an empire like terrence howard and be still leading
its about something deeper than money, its deeper than pride
i wanna set my family up for the day i be leaving their side
its my therapy, my remedy, letting me live
if imma do it, imma do it, and it better be big
its my legacy, my destiny, i give the game the rest of me
talking with my chest, this the inner kanye west of me

[hook]:
shouldn’t be just about the money (money)
shouldn’t be just about the fame (fame)
shouldn’t be just about the women (women)
shouldn’t be just about your name (name)
shouldn’t be just about the money (money)
shouldn’t be just about the fame (fame)
shouldn’t be just about the women (women)
shouldn’t be just about your name (name)

[verse 2]:
i got dreams of employing my cousins on my mother’s side
there were there with me enjoying discussions in the tougher times
other guys bluff and lie about which rappers the richest
i’ve had enough of pride, blind to who got the b-tches
when we should be talking about how to progress the culture
i’ve been called many things but never -ssessed as vulture
i wish i could buy my mother a car with working windows
holding one side up with wood, it hurts i’ve been low
but now the real me is back to rap on tracks again
i’m here by the grace of god, no miracles no accidents
walking through the valley channeling jay electron
only god can judge me, banging the gavel to say that i’m wrong
i stand with the people, and no man is above me
dreaming i’m rocking crowds, locking down a girl that loves me
but you gotta weather the storm to sail through the tough times
you gotta love yours, lord knows i love mine

[verse 3]:
i grab this pen and pad and write my life upon it
my friends say my raps sound like a light a pipe and cite a sonnet
inside the bonnet of my car is where you’ll find my drive
i ain’t stopping for nothing when i’m up behind my ride
see don’t get it twisted, i wanna retire at 40
hang my jersey up myself, no one gonna retire it for me
man i’m tired of corny rappers all up on cl-ssic beats
claiming they like kanan but they’re p-ssive in the streets
see they don’t know who they truly are
their net worth is 50 cents but i rule like ja
i could take you back to when rap was about crack and stacks
but i’d rather spit the truth, my own fire in the booth
i don’t need no radio, “ichokas don’t say sh-t though”
b-tch who you think i am, you don’t even play me ho
cos if you did you’d know that i’m a real man
the devil can’t trade my dignity for a deal man
