Money may made me richer, but the struggle made me richer than I ever been the hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to keep ya' mind up on the future, man Came out the trenches, government in the beginning cans for the pennies, we saving that grease after dinner Now they counting all my pennies, all my figures, all up in my business, man Now they watching what I'm spending, wonderin' what I got, and how I'ma get it, man I was bought before I had a dollar, empty handed made me stupid rich Rich in loyalty, made in royalty, but so good, that why I mention it
