Money - Thavius Beck

What’s the difference between gold and gold plated?

What keeps the Ivy league and rec league separated?

Educational access?

There’s roaches on the mattress!

Why does one become a ho and not an actress?

Oh…

Get it, make it, split it, take it

Spend it, use it, lend it, abuse it

Need it, want it, save it, flaunt it

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme

Just how far would you go to get some money?

Some brothers become cold-hearted niggas over money

Others turn to corner prophets trying to turn a profit

Or aim their loaded pocket rockets at ocular sockets

Dollars, Euros, Pounds

They all make the world go ‘round

Stack up enough change

And exchange it for some thangs

Buy a shiny suit

Two-thousand-dollar boots

Yeah in G-d we trust

‘Cuz G-d supports our lust for…

You need it to get it

Spend it on some lotto tickets

You’re lonely without it

When you’ve got it

Then they kick it

They try to dick you for it?

Go outside with signs and picket

The most self-proclaimed righteous turn wicked over…

It’s the symbol of another nations occupation

And you’d probably laugh if I mentioned reparations

What was the purpose of that middle passage destination?

The architects immortalized with center placement on my money
