Y'all do the math Now the third, you probably heard from MOP They say use them rocks to make 'em envy Envy, the cousin of jealousy, on the streets, it's a felony When niggas fucking with you but commit infidelity They hate it, to see you celebrated Counting my paper, nigga, you could have made it Let me stay with that thought, takes us to the fourth Where niggas is lazy, that's what we call sloth Want you to break 'em off, getting money it costs For you to be a boss, ain't no taking off Now the myth about the fifth, it only happens when we eat It's gluttony, this is how it happens on the street It's a dude that's getting paid in full, cars and jewels So his plate is full, but the way this nigga move He is never full and he gon' want your food Don't overdo it, that's an underrated rule The sixth is a fix that's in all of us When I get drunk and want to bust, this is what we call lust When the drawers go down, the guards go down 'Cause a pussy is somebody getting robbed right now Okay, the seventh is a seed that many believe Is the cause of 'em all, this is what we call greed Knew some cousins that was hustlin', one of 'em ended up bustin' the other Greed is a mother, it's greedy motherfuckers like Madoff Cops getting paid off, greedy companies got my people getting laid off Before I sign off, in the sins we livin' The good thing is we can be forgiven Seven deadly sins Gluttony, baby Is what I need, it's what I see Gluttony, baby Is us, it's hard to see
