[length: 02:49]
[00:00.40]The motherfucking god we trust is on a dollar
[00:04.23]That’s the only dude they talk about
[00:05.77]Every day is a struggle, how to hustle some dough
[00:08.46]If you was raised in the hood, well, then you already know
[00:11.36]It be days it be good, but mostly money be slow
[00:14.11]Have you ever been hungry before?
[00:16.05](Deeply, it’s freaking shit)
[00:17.42]Steady on the grind, steady on the grind
[00:22.77]’Cause I got to make it happen for one last to make you know me
[00:27.31](Gotta get them dollar bills) steady on the grind, steady on the grind
[00:33.95]’Cause I got to make it happen, ain’t nobody gon’ do it for me
[00:38.88]Gotta get them dollar bills
[00:40.53]Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh
[00:46.29]Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh
[00:52.05]Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh
[00:57.46]Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh
[01:02.71]Steady on the grind, deadly on the grind
[01:05.49]Money on my mind, steady on the grind
[01:13.87]Steady on the grind, deadly on the grind
[01:16.90]Money on my mind, it’s already on my mind (mind, mind), it’s already on my mind
[01:24.91]Every day is a struggle, how to hustle some dough
[01:27.60]If you was raised in the hood, well, then you already know
[01:30.42]It be days it be good, but only money be slow
[01:33.39]Have you ever been hungry before?
[01:36.06]Well, I’m a freedom fighter, this killer, keep him off his Darbie
[01:40.72]People army guerrilla, economic development down for manual labor
[01:45.23]Revolutionary hustler, fund-raiser
[01:47.85]Catch me doing outreach, see me running the streets
[01:50.60]Politically educated but never graduated
[01:53.11]Call me doc like my dude Shakur fight for the core
[01:56.04]Have you ever been hungry before? Nigga, for sure
[01:59.00]Mommy got a job makin’ ’bout six-somethin’ an hour
[02:01.64]She became the breadwinner when daddy was unemployed
[02:04.72]Working 40-plus hours and kissing ass
[02:06.87]Seeming like the only honest way she can get some cash
[02:09.71]She strugglin’, she don’t know I be hustlin’ pulling my own weight
[02:13.13]I be hearing them fuss and fightin’ at night mad late
[02:16.02]Over economics, it’s logic meaning they don’t got it
[02:18.83]Living in the projects, money’s the only object
[02:21.62]She make 280 a week, standing on her feet
[02:24.54]The ends ain’t even meeting, the family ain’t eatin’
[02:27.28]And the taxes is ten percent, the rest is for the rent
[02:30.00]Then crime is what you get and niggas is innocent
[02:32.78]See, it really ain’t about if you eatin’ or not eatin’
[02:35.78]It’s freedom or not freedom, breathin’ or not breathin’
[02:38.35]Another day, ‘nother way, ‘nother dollar spent
[02:41.24]Gotta make a revolution out of 15 cent
