Put ya’ hands in the air (yeeeah!) If you got a college loan, and it ain’t going nowhere (awww) And to my freshmen I know you gotta’ stay prepared And peace to my super seniors in they 5th year I put in my time and I’m in debt to my eyes Almost didn’t make it, thank God for co-signs My generation graduation into the second depression Never waitin’ or hesitatin’ we put our best in And to my peeps who dropped out, went to community college Cus’ it’s all about savin’ dollars I ain’t knockin’ ya Back in summer school I was jockin’ ya’ Transferin’ credit keepin’ money in my pocket bruh’ Livin’ off a diet of Ramen Noodles and pizza in the oven Because nutrition be expensive ain’t it somethin’ Education cost an arm and a leg So I graduate with no limbs tryna’ get paid
Cash rules everythin’ around me C.R.E.A.M. get the money Dollar dollar bill yall
(Verse 2 – FlareThaRebel)
Cash rules and tuition has never been higher So the gap between the rich and the poor won’t expire I’m gettin’ tired The whole country is wired Plus it takes even longer now to retire The economy’s in shambles can’t see through the fog George W did one hell of a job Throwin’ money overseas when we need it here at home Cus’ the government ain’t bailin’ out these damn student loans
(Verse 3 – FlareThaRebel)
Only in America, can the rich be considered poor Take on E but a car you can still afford Wealth is relative people die to get what you havin’ And you killin’ to get what you haven’t Shit is tragic dramatic we all some paper attics I ain’t havin’ it What the fuck’s a man’s worth if he ain’t stackin’ it Damn, I do this for my love But I want my love payin’ rent so I never give her up They say mo’ money mo’ problems, but ain’t nobody hearin’ the sort Put another stamp on my passport Check a man’s wallet to predict his fate Never be late on a Bill if my name was Gates And in the States we supposed to be united But once a foreigner takes your job the industry gets ignited Though we all in the same game together Lactose intolerant never stopped me from getting’ cheddar
(Verse 4 – FlareThaRebel)
The North abolished slavery for economic reasons not morality It’s got me thinkin’ bout’ reality If money wasn’t such a technicality Would America have elected Obama if they wasn’t worried about a salary It seems we don’t think in Black and White When we thinkin’ bout’ that green tryna’ satisfy an appetite Built off of materialism And luxury livin’ We tryna’ hit the spot where them diamonds are givin’ But who am I kiddin’? I know I’ve been brain washed By the same cars, that you see cruisin’ down the boulevard Hollywood dreams paint a perfect picture So now I got these hoodlum schemes tryna’ make it richer Pocket be an inch thicker Sippin’ on that good liquor So now I smile at the man in the mirror But how you figure? That’ll keep you good forever Katrina made it rain and I know she changed the weather
