[Skee-Lo (Verse)]
You better show me the money I'm not a dummy
Out here rappin' for free I got everybody waitin to see
If the records going drop if it's hot
If not must have forgot that the whole world lookin for me
Since the year 93 a record company got over on me
So it ain't nobody I really trust
Concentrating on my riches and it's hard so I'm praying to God
Baby nobody care about us
Kind of like playing Poker with a straight flush
Player haters hate us cuz I can paint a picture like a paintbrush
My whole life should be pretty painless but God put us through pain so he can change us
Sustain us to be so in God we trust
From boyhood to manhood and ash to dust
Some of you people say Skee is not a threat to us
I blew up like Michael Jackson now I'm dangerous (But this is part of the game)
[Chorus x2]
Everybody is acting like they somebody but it really ain't nobody to be
Why you messing with me?
There was nothing to see
You want my money but I told you there was nothing for free
(But this is part of the game)
[Skee-Lo (Verse 2)]
I guess life ain't bad when you rolling in the brand new Jack
Talking how people be making you mad
You upset cuz some broke brothers, this player hatin you bad
And you expect all of us to feel sad
People say, that more money more problems, please
People wish they had problems like these
Cuz you can sell a million records, do about 100 shows
Best believed that I moused the cheese
Not to mention overseas is at least 10 G's and that's another
Reason to say goodbye to my baby that I love her
Making more spillin than drug dealers
More fame than a serial killer, put my face on a cereal box
I want to know if you was with it or not so when you here me be like oh that's hot
Giving stress and strain I make the ladies want to scream my name
Cuz baby I came to bring the pain yeah (But this is part of the game)
[Chorus x2]
Everybody is acting like they somebody but it really ain't nobody to be
Why you messing with me?
There was nothing to see
You want my money but I told you there was nothing for free
(But this is part of the game)
[Skee-Lo (Verse 3)]
Making money can be dangerous
It's scandalous it's important for us and everybody know the truth
Even cops love the cuffs, love the bus, arresting us but ain't got no proof
Brother I don't need the stress a bulletproof vest I'm sick of this mess
Just because I got loot
People planning robberies to rob from me but God can see everything that you do
It ain't even worth going to jail burning in hell
Taking my money when you can make your own dough
Sometimes I wish everybody was rich and making a grip
Maybe then people won't trip yo, but yo
If you, make what I make you get, get what I got
Put yo, money in stacks and yo, bring me yo rocks
And we can love each other baby block to block
It's up to you if your ready or not, let me holla at ya
[Chorus x4]
Everybody is acting like they somebody but it really ain't nobody to be
Why you messing with me?
There was nothing to see
You want my money but I told you there was nothing for free
(But this is part of the game)
[Outro]
(But this is part of the game)
