lirik lagu get the money – michael kraun
[intro]
i got ambitions, i got plans to get busy
i got ambitions, i got plans to get busy
one day, one day, one day, one day…
[verse 1]
long nights, long flights on the east side of queens
i reminisce about the visions we would think of as teens
feeling empty cause my memory is honestly depleting
grew up broke as f*ck and so the dollar is deceiving
at least that’s how i thought of when i was brought up a fetus
i was off in the evening, lost the meaning of believing
grieving cause no one who i grew up with could understand me
not even my best friends, especially not my family
even as an adult i feel the sadness in my pulse
at a comedy show but i’m laughing cause i’m the joke
watching capitalism wrap its hands around my throat
thinking why be a goat when lying gets you the throne
hear me? i didn’t always see clearly
i was driven but the system didn’t know how to steer me
child of immigrants who were learning their english from tv
and what’s crazy is, money was the language
i always had to translate for them
[chorus]
this is my city
and d*mn right i rep it to the fullest
put on for my hometown
show the young kids how to do this
a lot of sh*t done changed since the days i was a student
but queens get the money, it was written, i’ma prove it
[verse 2]
this is who i am on the daily
the younger me would tell me “i don’t think you get it, man,” he would hate me
cause the way i think about making money now is kinda j.d. rockefeller
plan won’t get foiled by hip*hop pretenders
i am the loch ness of the metropolitan
whole city behind me like the meteorologist
queens get the money yeah i gotta represent
beats knocking cause i knocked on doors but they ain’t let me in
then again…
i need money, i need freedom
not many people with means from the streets we from
couldn’t teach us, couldn’t reach us
cause the teachers felt defeated, and our parents were defeatists, cause their dreams were never achievements
life would beat them, it would leave them
weakened in their incompletions
perceiving the playing field as uneven
if they even tried…
and now i’m bragging about a salary
truth is i made a success story out their tragedy
[chorus]
this is my city
and d*mn right i rep it to the fullest
put on for my hometown
show the young kids how to do this
a lot of sh*t done changed since the days i was a student
but queens get the money, it was written, i’ma prove it
[bridge]
hey ma, i want to be rich
i wanna get us out of this mess
no more struggle to pay rent
time for us to take a chance in the city
i got ambitions
i got plans to get busy
i got ambitions
i got plans to get busy
one day, one day
i’m a be rich
promise we gon make it out this b*tch
[chorus]
this is my city
and d*mn right i rep it to the fullest
put on for my hometown
show the young kids how to do this
a lot of sh*t done changed since the days i was a student
but queens get the money, it was written, i’ma prove it
