Lyrics

[00:20.980] Now, this is my job, I will not quit it
[00:23.660] Pulled me out the depths when I thought that I was finished
[00:26.510] Yeah I questioned if I could go the distance
[00:29.410] That's just the work, regardless of who's listening, listening
[00:32.950] Listen, see I was meant to be a warrior
[00:35.320] Fight something amongst me, leave here victorious
[00:37.920] Classroom of kids, or a venue performing
[00:40.420] If I'd done it for the money I'd have been a fucking lawyer
[00:42.990] Concrete, vagabond, van telling stories
[00:45.280] Humbled by the road, I'm realizing I'm not important
[00:48.370] See life's a beautiful struggle, I record it
[00:51.000] Hope it helps you maneuvering through yours and
[00:53.220] That's why we stay in the lab at night
[00:56.070] I've been staring into this pad for over half my life
[00:58.580] A true artist won't be satisfied
[01:01.750] So I guess that's the sacrifice
[01:03.630] And I say
[01:04.680] Make the money, don't let the money make you
[01:07.150] Change the game, don't let the game change you
[01:10.370] I'll forever remain faithful
[01:12.660] All my people stay true, I say
[01:15.510] Make the money, don't let the money make you
[01:18.360] Change the game, don't let the game change you
[01:21.190] I'll forever remain faithful
[01:23.810] All my people stay true
[01:25.620] Forget about the fame, fortune and the mansion
[01:28.580] Sitting and tripping watching myself on a plasma
[01:31.230] Yeah, I start slipping when I'm thinking about that stuff
[01:33.760] Ego won't swole until karma catches that up, that up
[01:36.810] I'm my grandma's number one grandson
[01:39.530] I lost myself to remember who that was
[01:42.150] We start thinking about some kicks, necklace
[01:45.290] What I really need is a job off CraigsList
[01:48.060] Take away the dot com, name, love
[01:50.690] Fans, Twitter followers, and the buzz
[01:53.340] See, you keep the issues but you take away the drugs
[01:55.910] And I had to find out who I really was
[02:00.500] Who I really wasn't
[02:02.370] So sick of who I was becoming
[02:04.410] Yeah, tired of running
[02:06.210] Time to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn to love him
[02:09.710] Make the money, don't let the money make you
[02:12.410] Change the game, don't let the game change you
[02:15.310] I'll forever remain faithful
[02:17.630] All my people stay true, I say
[02:20.670] Make the money, don't let the money make you
[02:23.150] Change the game, don't let the game change you
[02:26.000] I'll forever remain faithful
[02:28.580] All my people stay true
[02:42.140] Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac
[02:44.590] Watch the videos and get the girls in the back
[02:47.420] But if that's what I believe in, and the reason that I rap
[02:49.790] Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track
[02:52.190] Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac
[02:55.120] Watch the videos and get the girls in the back
[02:57.760] But if that's what I believe in, and the reason that I rap
[03:00.370] Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track
[03:02.970] Make the money, don't let the money make you
[03:06.180] Change the game, don't let the game change you
[03:08.910] I'll forever remain faithful
[03:11.550] All my people stay true, I say
[03:14.270] Make the money, don't let the money make you
[03:16.860] Change the game, don't let the game change you
[03:19.930] I'll forever remain faithful
[03:22.590] All my people stay true
[03:26.840] Forget about the fame
[03:28.770] I said forget about the fame
[03:31.350] I'll forever remain faithful
[03:34.140] Stay true, stay true, stay true
