lets pay to play - vanny goodfella lyrics
hook (anthemic, chant*like)
let’s pay to play, that’s the game we in
cash on the table, city lights go dim
no favors free, gotta hustle every day
in newark streets, you pay to play
verse 1 (gritty realism)
corner hustle, every dollar got a tag
dreams on layaway, hope inside a paper bag
from the block to the boardroom, same old scheme
money talks louder than the american dream
repeat hook
verse 2 (social commentary)
politicians pay to play, contracts under wraps
same system in the alleys, different suits, same traps
they criminalize the struggle, but they profit off the pain
in newark we survive, even when they call it shame
bridge (reflective, soulful r&b vibe)
it’s a cold world, but the lights still glow
every choice we make, got a price tag to show
from love to respect, from the streets to the stage
life’s a transaction, we just set the wage
hook (repeat, layered with ad*libs)
let’s pay to play, that’s the game we in
cash on the table, city lights go dim
no favors free, gotta hustle every day
in newark streets, you pay to play
