(Intro)
Iâm no martyr
I did it for the money
But itâs not worth much if you canât face yourself in the mirror
Respect is the ultimate currency
(Verse)
Some things donât change
I could try to do better but Iâm wasting the game
No better, Iâmma never change my ways
So I pick up a pen and I put it to the paper
Some might pick one in the air just to take away
The pain they face
As I face my struggles, straight this hustle
I know better, Iâmma never change my ways
(Pre-Chorus)
Now I make this good money
And I donât give a damn what they want from me
I never said âI did for the money, did for the moneyâ
(Chorus)
The root of evil calls
And the greed will make you fall
Iâll never say âI did for the money, did for the moneyâ
I did for the money, did for the money
(Verse)
Iâm on a mission, got a vision how to get it in
Iâm getting sick, Iâm getting tired of predicaments
And I got that fire and Iâm about to set it off
Go away, now youâre taking no loan
So I hustle a check just to get a little paper
But I wonât suffer from the set of principle
I wonât make the mistake
Of getting caught up for the fortune
Sell myself short just to sell my soul
I know better, Iâmma never change my ways
(Pre-Chorus)
Now I make this good money
And I donât give a damn what they want from me
I never said âI did for the money, did for the moneyâ
(Chorus x2)
The root of evil calls
And the greed will make you fall
Iâll never say âI did for the money, did for the moneyâ
I did for the money, did for the money
(Outro)
Anybody who knows me knows my name
And itâs above rap and be this spit star
Iâm just tryin to keep doin the music
Good music
Substance you know, send a message
If Iâm keepin 100
with myself then Iâm keepin it 100
for yall
Real recognizes real
But inevitably,
The further you run from yourself
The more exhausted you are when they catch up to you
And they do
