Statik Selektah
Money (money)
Kept it real for a dollar bill
Even a lot of them, what's the problem then? (Devastating)
Headaches while I be meditating
Now I'm in the zone, is it resonating? (Devastating)
Yeah, we livin' and we sufferin'
But at the end of the day, we'll be celebrating (devastating)
Me on an M.I
I don't say, "Can I?" I just tell niggas when I (money)
Know I'm fuckin' it up (fuckin' it up)
Yo, Bun, pick a MC, I'm fuckin' them up
Statik pull the beat out (uh), Statik put the heat out (yeah)
Try the front, use your eyeball or put the weed out (devastating)
That's the old Ghost, now I'm chuckin' the deuce
'Cause way before Juice, I was fuckin' with Juice
40 belows, deuce nickels up in the boots
Know what I'm into, nigga, when I'm up in the coupe
I tell you (money)
Wake up in the morning and piss out the bad energy
Say I pray for family and friends, even my enemies (devastating)
'Cause if you gotta see me, then you gon' need them all
The streets tried to give you a warning, but you ain't heed 'em all (devastating)
So now I'm closin' your curtains, you better know it
Your nose runnin' and I'll be the napkin, you finna blow it (devastating)
And trust me, when they pull up to the aftermath
Just to keep theyself from cryin', they gon' have to laugh (money)
It's disgusting when I bust and put a hole in them
Leave them dead, dusty and rusty, get the linoleum (devastating)
Don't forget the Bleach and the Lye 'cause you was reachin' to try
And now the pastor gotta preach 'cause you died (devastating)
We gon' slide like tap shoes when we clap dudes
Big dogs don't rap feud, we feed 'em cat food (devastating)
I am that food, don't let them tell you that I ain't
The trillest nigga to step foot in the Tri-state
Yeah, Bun, this shit for life, how we rockin', dawg?
Forever trill, a lot of Pimp C shit if I'm involved (devastating)
I'm pullin' up in oversized rims with the top and off
I really hate to prove that 40 kickin' like a soccer ball (devastating)
We ain't the same, rap niggas lame and all they watches fraud
They only steppin' niggas out here doin' 'cause they don't got no cost (devastating)
Meanwhile, so close on the floor, could hear the Rockets call
Last game, Luca T owed, I fuckin' caught a ball (money)
Boy, I'm really self-made, I don't got a boss
I can wink at that bitch, I don't gotta talk (devastating)
Diamond Cuban link, I'm Rae Kwon, I got a lot of sauce
My diamonds got glasses, thirty pointer rockets is all I saw (devastating)
I got my first bag done blew it, it was all a loss (damn)
I got my second bag, the property was all I bought (devastating)
Triplin' up my network, now hustle shit is all I talk
Propane a young living legend nigga all and all
Money (yeah)
Devastating (devastating)
