Intro:

Verse 1:
for makin me a star before i had fast cars
and couldnand't tell the difference between whoppers and caviar
before the fame
way before things changed
all i wanted to do was freestyle and get a name
i used to work at the fast food restaurant
for minimum wage
dreamin iand'm on stage
at 17 i left the house
cause my father was a minister
and i didnand't want the marvin route
whatand's goin on?
today to sell a song you need a video with soft porn
mcand's in the industry
you wanna tip?
donand't let them pimp you like goldy
and tell sony they better have my money
cause i play wit the comodores and be like lionel richie
low income, i stay so hungry that if 50 cent came to rob me
heand'd be part of my charity
(i wanna thank my hood)
to my people cuttin here in the shops
thank god itand's friday
to the thugs sweatin up in the chop shops

Verse 2:
For the love of money
i know kids whoand'll slit your throat
friday the 13th
jason wit a trench coat
but you canand't scare suzie
cause her man got so many uziand's youand'd think he was cadivi
meanwhile, sheand's getting her nails done
crystal clear so they could shine like wit diamonds
itand's such a shame what happened last week
man they found her under the sheets with a letter from the son of sam
it said to tell new york i ainand't sleepin
you want to be clubbin then you better pack your heat in
and to my man g swar rest in piece
