Talib Kweli - Fuck The Money ft Cassper Nyovest Lyrics

verse 1 [Cassper]
I used to put the money first
Yeah, I still do, but that hardly works
Cause y'all still ask for prices
From the waiters and y'all hardly served
You pay once, you pay forever, that you can't reverse
"This' why I am paid Talib for no f***ing verse"
Mutual respect over below payments
Your mind accepts marriage when money propose slavery
I been listening and four quarters of y'all won't make it
Now I'm Africa's number one
Now That's a f***ing bold statement
And I'm the molst relevant
You failing to admit that is your biggest impediment
We not on the same level man
Your dream girl sent me nudes and I'm checking them
Underneath the table as I'm having dinner with the president
Man f*** the money, o tsenya tlhogo then o tla ka plane
Heh sonny being broke's for magogorwane
They love me cause they know I been real to my peeps
There's niggas richer than me and still wish they were me

verse 2[Talib]
Money makes niggas break promisses
Money turns niggas into pharmacists
Money makes us drop outta colleges
But the bars that I spit prove God exists
But the bars that I spit through God exist
Who we be, that's who we are
Versace, Gucci, Louis Vuitton
My taste expensive as a superstar
So I take what I want like a coup d'�tat
From profit sharing to profiteering
Now they stop and stare cause we cop McLarens
But we not preparing for God's appearance
Too busy dominating and domineering
Our competition securin' our position
Now our greed dangerous as a heart condition
Rap niggas lie like politicians
So I gotta tell the truth, that's a smart decision
Capitalism is a cataclysm
If white collar crime is a bad decision
Then the makers who routinely crash the system
Would quickly get they asses dragged to prison
Need money to eat, need money to live
Need money to keep, need money to give
But when pursuit of the money is your only goal
Then you lose control, then you lose your soul
Dollars and cents to rob our children of their innocence
So in a sense, we come to our nation's capital to cash the check
According to Dr. King when he saw it clear in his dream
"We built the pyramids, they built a pyramid scheme"
