John Reuben - Make Money Money lyrics
[John Reuben - Make Money Money lyrics]
(Make money money, make money money)
(Save money money, save money money)
Left high school at sixteen pick an identity
Entrepreneur dreams find yourself a strategy
Next Saturday, the class of '97 is graduating
In a couple of years, I’ll grab a GED
As for now, we’ll just make ends meet
Put our art in the place
Where it’s forced to succeed
The place where your hobbies and
The real world meet
Forty minute walks to work to
Bus tables full time
With a pair of headphones on to
Block out traffic going by
Forty back to make music all night
With a pair of headphones on
To block out my life
Open mic nights, let the spit fly
A hundred hands reaching for
The chance to try
And maybe I grew up a bit too quick
It can’t be all about the music admit it
So if you make money money
Make money money money
(Make money money, make money money money)
You better save money money
Save money money money
(Save money money, save money money money)
It goes fast (goes fast) no cash (no cash)
We used to shop discount racks
For brand name specials
Mix and match designer scraps
To look presentable
Hated on those who appeared more successful
Sloppy and broke became the look because it
Was affordable before it was fashionable
Now kids pay good money to look poor
And get charged for the extra
Work of perfectly placed character
Isn’t that some irony? Expensively indie
So if you make money money
Make money money money
(Make money money, make money money money)
You better save money money
Save money money money
(Save money money, save money money money)
It goes fast (goes fast) no cash (no cash)
I was told security with a
Cushion just in case
How can I plan for the future
If I can’t afford today?
Rap's a game that mostly amateurs play
And there are very few
Professionals that's getting paid
Go on there
Indie rappers and find your shtick
Throw it up against the wall
And pray that it sticks
We used to say no gimmicks
But everybody’s got one
No gimmicks? Mine is that I’ve got none
Lost the truth, marketing honesty
The rap game is a sport of psychology
Underdogs go where they find opportunity
While spoiled children romanticize poverty
So if you make money money
Make money money money
(Make money money, make money money money)
You better save money money
Save money money money
(Save money money save money money money)
It goes fast (goes fast) no cash (no cash)
Better make it last (better make it last)
Better make it last (better make it last)
Make money money, make money money money
(Make money money, make money money money)
You better save money money
Save money money money
(Save money money, save money money money)
It goes fast (goes fast) no cash (no cash)
Better make it last (better make it last)
Better make it last (better make it last)
(Save money money, save money money)
Left high school at sixteen pick an identity
