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