lyrics
I'm watching my reflection watch me
Hoping I pass inspection got me
Deep in inflection hardly sleep cuz I'm stressing probably
These are the days of my life
And they flash by quicker than these street lights
Weed pipes, bottle of whiskey trying to keep right
But my mind's tugging left
And this world's going straight for the side of my neck
I'm a wreck
About one bank fee away from loading up and firing a tech to find some respect
They'll label me a looney and maybe I am truly
I care about our children's babies, sue me
We value power over conscience
Trade our lives for an hour of that nonsense
Feeling like Wu Tang but I don't say it proudly
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
Get the money
It's the CREAM the money hoodie tight when its sunny
Best protect your neck these streets hungry
My evasion is blazing
Unblocked like Barry Sanders I'm still skating
Fuck patience deliver me from evil
Impregnate the earth with my sequel
And lay my head next to my equal
Sideways glares like I'm looking through a peephole
There's no price on a piece of mind
Pay with your soul if you grab a piece of mine
I aint lyin I'm a lion watch me protect my pride
Stopwatch can't check my stride
For these dollar signs motherfuckers will loot and kill
Kill my conscious so I can't feel
Bottle it up but my dreams still spill
Back when I tried to cop a feel
Now I'm trying to cop a pill
Take me away is all a nigga's on these days
But I wake up with the rain in my way
These Ben Franks is so passé
Hoping I pass inspection got me
Deep in inflection hardly sleep cuz I'm stressing probably
These are the days of my life
And they flash by quicker than these street lights
Weed pipes, bottle of whiskey trying to keep right
But my mind's tugging left
And this world's going straight for the side of my neck
I'm a wreck
About one bank fee away from loading up and firing a tech to find some respect
They'll label me a looney and maybe I am truly
I care about our children's babies, sue me
We value power over conscience
Trade our lives for an hour of that nonsense
Feeling like Wu Tang but I don't say it proudly
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
Get the money
It's the CREAM the money hoodie tight when its sunny
Best protect your neck these streets hungry
My evasion is blazing
Unblocked like Barry Sanders I'm still skating
Fuck patience deliver me from evil
Impregnate the earth with my sequel
And lay my head next to my equal
Sideways glares like I'm looking through a peephole
There's no price on a piece of mind
Pay with your soul if you grab a piece of mine
I aint lyin I'm a lion watch me protect my pride
Stopwatch can't check my stride
For these dollar signs motherfuckers will loot and kill
Kill my conscious so I can't feel
Bottle it up but my dreams still spill
Back when I tried to cop a feel
Now I'm trying to cop a pill
Take me away is all a nigga's on these days
But I wake up with the rain in my way
These Ben Franks is so passé
