Make The Money - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.mp3

[00:20.980]Now, this is my job, I will not quit it
[00:23.660]Pulled me out the depths when I thought that I was finished
[00:26.510]Yeah I questioned if I could go the distance
[00:29.410]That's just the work, regardless of who's listening, listening
[00:32.950]Listen, see I was meant to be a warrior
[00:35.320]Fight something amongst me, leave here victorious
[00:37.920]Classroom of kids, or a venue performing
[00:40.420]If I'd done it for the money I'd have been a ******* lawyer
[00:42.990]Concrete, vagabond, van telling stories
[00:45.280]Humbled by the road, I'm realizing I'm not important
[00:48.370]See life's a beautiful struggle, I record it
[00:51.000]Hope it helps you maneuvering through yours and
[00:53.220]That's why we stay in the lab at night
[00:56.070]I've been staring into this pad for over half my life
[00:58.580]A true artist won't be satisfied
[01:01.750]So I guess that's the sacrifice
[01:03.630]And I say
[01:04.680]Make the money, don't let the money make you
[01:07.150]Change the game, don't let the game change you
[01:10.370]I'll forever remain faithful
[01:12.660]All my people stay true, I say
[01:15.510]Make the money, don't let the money make you
[01:18.360]Change the game, don't let the game change you
[01:21.190]I'll forever remain faithful
[01:23.810]All my people stay true
[01:25.620]Forget about the fame, fortune and the mansion
[01:28.580]Sitting and tripping watching myself on a plasma
[01:31.230]Yeah, I start slipping when I'm thinking about that stuff
[01:33.760]Ego won't swole until karma catches that up, that up
[01:36.810]I'm my grandma's number one grandson
[01:39.530]I lost myself to remember who that was
[01:42.150]We start thinking about some kicks, necklace
[01:45.290]What I really need is a job off CraigsList
[01:48.060]Take away the dot com, name, love
[01:50.690]Fans, Twitter followers, and the buzz
[01:53.340]See, you keep the issues but you take away the drugs
[01:55.910]And I had to find out who I really was
[02:00.500]Who I really wasn't
[02:02.370]So sick of who I was becoming
[02:04.410]Yeah, tired of running
[02:06.210]Time to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn to love him
[02:09.710]Make the money, don't let the money make you
[02:12.410]Change the game, don't let the game change you
[02:15.310]I'll forever remain faithful
[02:17.630]All my people stay true, I say
[02:20.670]Make the money, don't let the money make you
[02:23.150]Change the game, don't let the game change you
[02:26.000]I'll forever remain faithful
[02:28.580]All my people stay true
[02:42.140]Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac
[02:44.590]Watch the videos and get the girls in the back
[02:47.420]But if that's what I believe in, and the reason that I rap
[02:49.790]Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track
[02:52.190]Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac
[02:55.120]Watch the videos and get the girls in the back
[02:57.760]But if that's what I believe in, and the reason that I rap
[03:00.370]Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track
[03:02.970]Make the money, don't let the money make you
[03:06.180]Change the game, don't let the game change you
[03:08.910]I'll forever remain faithful
[03:11.550]All my people stay true, I say
[03:14.270]Make the money, don't let the money make you
[03:16.860]Change the game, don't let the game change you
[03:19.930]I'll forever remain faithful
[03:22.590]All my people stay true
[03:26.840]Forget about the fame
[03:28.770]I said forget about the fame
[03:31.350]I'll forever remain faithful
[03:34.140]Stay true, stay true, stay true
