Kendrick Lamar
Not Just Money
[Verse 1]
I'm willing to die doing this shit
Might even take a life for this shit
By that I mean decode their lies for this shit
And watch you cry cause your shit

Freezer got gold rims
In debt, now go dim
This is what happens
When you too focused on balance

[Chorus]
Dollars come in a bakers dozen
Like we getting bread
But I know focusing on that too much
Will get us dead

So try to understand my footprints
But at the same time, make your own blueprints
If you want it, go for it
But know it's not just money

[Verse 2]
You're worrying about how much wealth it is
So you can add to your wrist
I'm confused how mumbling can get you a car
In the future, it can only take you so far
I won't judge what you wanna do
But it's kinda talentless, it's the truth
Like Cole said, "Imma make sure the real gon' prevail."
And not the people that only worry about the sales

Those sales might not even get you a nice boat
But that cold hard cash could maybe get you a coat
You're washing yourself in this ego to cope
And you messed up like you just dropped the soap

Ever since I was born in 2003
My family trying to make ends meet
Living in brick houses like Rob Zombie
And now I still don't care about where I live this week

[Chorus]
Dollars come in a bakers dozen
Like we getting bread
But I know focusing on that too much
Will get us dead

So try to understand my footprints
But at the same time, make your own blueprints
If you want it, go for it
But know it's not just money
