Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Make The Money

Now this is my job
I will not quit it
Pulled me out the depths
when I thought that
I was finished
Yeah I questioned
if I could go the distance
That's just the work
regardless of who's listening
listening
Listen see I was meant
to be a warrior
Fight something amongst me
leave here victorious
Classroom of kids
or a venue performing
If I'd had done for the money
I'd have been a fucking lawyer
Concrete bagabon
van telling stories
Humbled by the road
I'm realizing
I'm not important
See life's a beautiful struggle
I record it
Hope it
helps you maneuvering
through yours and
That's why we stay
in the lab at night
I've been staring into this
pad for over half my life
A true artist won't be satisfied
So I guess that's the sacrifice
And I say
Make the money
don't let the money make you
Change the game
don't let the game change you
I'll forever remain faithful
All my people stay true
I say
Make the money
don't let the money make you
Change the game
don't let the game change you
I'll forever remain faithful
All my people stay true
Forget about the fame
fortune and the mansion
Sitting and tripping watching
myself on a plasma
Yeah I start slipping
when I'm thinking
about that stuff
Ego won't swole until
the karma catches
that up that up
How my grandma's
number one grandson
I lost myself to remember
who that was
We start thinking
about some kicks necklace
What I really need is
a job off craig's list
Take away the dot com
name love
Fans twitter followers
and the buzz
See you keep the issues
but you take away the drugs
And I had to find out
who I really was
Who I really wasn't
So sick of who I was becoming
Yeah tired of running
Time to look at the man
in the mirror until
I can learn to love him
Make the money
don't let the money make you
Change the game
don't let the game change you
I'll forever remain faithful
All my people stay true
I say
Make the money
don't let the money make you
Change the game
don't let the game change you
I'll forever remain faithful
All my people stay true
Of course I want dubs
and a candy painted 'lac
Watch the videos and
get the girls in the back
But if that's what I believe in
and the reason that I rap
Uncle Sam is my pimp
when he puts me on the track
Of course I want dubs
and a candy painted 'lac
Watch the videos and
get the girls in the back
But if that's what I believe in
and the reason that I rap
Uncle Sam is my pimp
when he puts me on the track
Make the money
don't let the money make you
Change the game
don't let the game change you
I'll forever remain faithful
Stay true stay true
And I said
Make the money
don't let the money make you
Change the game
don't let the game change you
I'll forever remain faithful
Stay true stay true stay true
Forget about the fame
I said forget about the fame
I'll forever remain faithful
Stay true stay true stay true
