j reno - money power respect lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
it’s the money, the power, respect
yo

[verse 1: j reno]
we slave away on the daily just to earn a bit (yeah)
go into debt young in hopes that we can learn some sh+t (uh+huh)
develop a relevant sk!ll and then earn with it (yeah)
try to get some work in and search for something permanent
waste our whole life doing sh+t that we don’t like
just to avoid cold nights, keep the heat and the lights (uh+huh)
yeah, we worship it, some are doing dirt for it (wow)
the cops will turn a blind еye to crime if you worth a bit
many men havе died trying to get it, died trying to defend it
when you dead, you can’t spend it
man done spill the blood of his man because he needed it
a pocket full can turn a honest man into a piece of sh+t
some will sell you poison daily just to feed his kids
it ain’t hard to figure out where the evil is
these human beings were misled something major
trees provide the air, but we only see the paper, f+ck it
[chorus: j reno]
it’s the money (money), the power (the power)
respect (respect) devour (devour)
there’s no love (yeah), there’s only pain
and personal gain, this is how we were trained
it’s the money (it’s the money), the power (the power)
respect (respect) devour (devour)
there’s no love (yeah), there’s only pain
and personal gain, this is how we were trained, f+ck money

[verse 2: j reno]
we hungry for it and we hate those who possess it (uh+huh)
pass judgment on those who represent it (uh+huh)
yeah, we all craving opportunity presented
control and pull the +n+lysts’ incentives
once you have it, you tend to let it control you (ha, ha)
mold you, out here doing sh+t that you don’t do
it makes you think less of your peers who stay beneath you
to those with open minds, your strengths are only see+through (uh+huh)
a lot of uniformed people throw they weight around
abuse it when they lay it out, even when they lay you down
taught at a young age those with it make decisions
it’s only now i realize it wasn’t meant to be given
what’s different? we all flesh and blood
well, i guess it only come around with topic number one (f+ck money)
broken people don’t possess any in these hours
darkness, hearts been poisoned by power
[chorus: j reno]
it’s the money (money), the power (the power)
respect (respect) devour (devour)
there’s no love (yeah), there’s only pain
and personal gain, this is how we were trained
it’s the money (it’s the money), the power (the power)
respect (respect) devour (devour)
there’s no love (yeah), there’s only pain
and personal gain, this is how we were trained, f+ck money

[verse 3: j reno]
last, but not least, it’s the one we all demand
from one another, but never directed at the man (woah)
you don’t need money or power to possess it (nah)
a lot of different methods are exercised to get it
some get it by force, violence, and fear (yeah)
most of us just earn it here amongst peers
some use for leverage, some show none
some search for it the honest way, some use guns
some pride themselves off it, some don’t want it
a lot of people need to show themselves some if they got it
politicians got none for you, neither does the constable
you can get k!lled if you don’t show it when they talk to you
if someone lose it for you you never get it back
it’s what everyone deserves and yet what everybody lack
we use it as a means to keep each other in check
i even wrote this rhyme right here to pay respect
