Fo Da Money

The Coup

[Boots]



Ahhhhhhh yesss, ah-heh



Tell me somethin



Were you, about to make a decision?



Was it, one of... THOSE decisions?



Ya know, when ya, gotta decide, between



what's good, for you, and what's good, for the struggle



Well before you sellout, The Coup wants to tell you a lil' story



E-Roc, kick it



[E-Roc]



Pressure, is gettin to my dome



See, I need some food for my little boy's tummy



Pulled up a chair just to think about my situation



Don't have a job, cause jackin is the occupation



FUCK THE SYSTEM, you know that it's all wrong



I got my gauge, yeah now my mission's on



Checked on my baby, good he was sound asleep



Cause money was my thoughts as I began to creep



down the street the corner sto', was on my mind



Freeze! with the sounds of clips was in my behind



I turned around but befo' I could pull my trigger



in they ass, on the ground, laid another nigga



I was trippin, slippin labelled as a dummy



But can you blame me, I did it for da mo-ah-money



*chorus*



M-O-N, N-E-Y (repeat 2X)



Broke as a; broke as a sucka!



(repeat all 4X)



[E-Roc]



Back on the streets I thought I wouldn't survive



So I'm bustin my ass on this nine to five



Flippin patties all day when the place is hot



Gettin paid peanuts, in the burger shop



Now everybody wants to know the deal, is this brother real



can I feed my family off of a Happy Meal?



I had to stop cause this shit ain't for E-Roc



I threw down my time card and started slangin rocks



For a brother dis is some'in you can't beat



My cash is flowin, now I'm bringin home the meat



I'm feelin good sellin crack to a fiend



Don't give a fuck about his luck, ya know what I mean?
