Money Don't Make U Rich - Hi-Tek, Strong Arm Steady

No talkin don’t pay the rent

And sittin won’t let you style like this

But money don’t make you rich

But hatin won’t let you smile

Yeah, the Teknology is too advanced

Attach dynomite to opportunity, blow your chance

Enhance the vision, Kweli tell 'em to listen

Before I probably get a hundred niggas to diss 'em

Yeah, and I can’t wait, sit up straight

Hungry niggas eatin your plate, compete in a race

Full of rats, the homie’s torso is full of tats

I’mma put the rest on my back, it’s best if I, bless 'em with that

Specify the facts from the fiction

I gotta draw the line with the diction

And I ain’t whistlin, Dixie;

this is Hi-Teknology wit me

You couldn’t find a finer designer to tailor fit me

To be, yay a nigga Tone, Cincinnati’s own

Hometown favorite like the Bearcats win the zone

Strong Arm keep it runnin on like a sentence

They wouldn’t know the difference when I hit 'em from a distance

Clack, conventional (bullshit) nothin identical

The West has evolved and Steady’s, at the pinnacle (yeah dat)

Still saggin in my crispy Dickies

But my gangsta’s fly, I make sho' the wrist is extra crystal-y

Cock it on the side for the next telly is

Ghetto nigga on Lambo’s mailin list

Money don’t make you rich

But it’s funny how it’ll make a snow bunny suck your dick

I have a hater in the shrubs where you park your shit

I had a homie blowin you up when he hit the fence

To the Steady, Slick bring the gangsta shit

Like the hankerchief, once you add on the Paisley print

On the rights where I dang a lick

But since I learned red and blue make green it’s Tek hits

It’s the premier kids cast to build the pyramids

A '08 Escalade’s in prepaid appearances

It’s hard to even entertain a few, an invalid

Lame in the brain can’t talk or remember shit

I don’t blame him — the daddy ain’t around

Left him lonely in the hood without good home trainin

Frustrated, pissed cause probation

Got him pissin in a cup without proper occupation

So they — get up, get out, and get it like Goodie Mob

Niggas must be crazy thinkin we won’t do the job

Dookie colored droptops sob, with the feet tall

Hi-Tek beats bump from Lynn Street to Crenshaw

Steady means stupid stand up, start elevatin

Violate and come to your final destination

Mouth pacin — Pacific Ocean main land

Chasin retail, re-up in rotation
