King T
Don’t Let the Money Make You

[Intro: Interviewer, Xzibit]
I want to ask you, what is more important to you guys?
All the money that you guys are talkin' about? Or the artform?
Or, what is more important? The lyrics? Or the leather sized stuff?
I think, what we tryin' to do is devise a way that the
Artform and the money is like on a equal level
You know what I mean, that, that like he said, is a fine line where...
Gotta please the crowd or please the artists that are listenin' to you
And please the real Hip-Hop, underground people that, that, that is looking for that
You know, that real shit
It's only a certain way that, that you can go up and doin' it

[Verse 1: Xzibit]
Xzibit keep it on deck
Live, vinyl, CD, or cassette
Whatever you select
I keep you bouncin' like a bad cheque
See, I should have a trigger tattooed on my neck
To represent the heat that I repeat
Now you can take the highs out of the beat
But never take the rucked out of the rhyme
Or tribalize, look into the eyes of the emotional
Your whole style is promotional
A dead giveaway to me is just another business day
Xzibit here to stay
My life, a tribute to the AK
You wanna play?
A situation only one man can walk away from the same way he came
When I spit flame, it spits flames like your middle name
So why do I say "fuck the fame"?
Because it come and go
The industry's a pet without refused to be that gigolo
I put the dope in, got fo's and tatoos
N***as make ya money, don't let the money make you
[Hook: King T]
We make, make money, money
Takes money to survive
The meanin' of life with stacked chips is stay alive
'Cause it's all about the C-notes
Gonna be fuckin' when you're rollin' this too
Don't let the money make you

We make, make money, money
Takes money to survive
The meanin' of life with stacked chips is stay alive
'Cause it's all about the C-notes
Gonna be fuckin' when you're rollin' this too
Don't let the money make you

[Verse 2: Soopafly, (Xzibit)]
It's Soopafly, comin' with that gangsta shit
That shit that only gangstas be gettin' gangsta with
The pimps, hustlers, and the players know the rank I get
Never have to get no money from the bank, I get shit
I stomp down your whole compound, takin' all the shots
Devised from the few, I rise, let the others drop
I elevate, who drop? When a dime never got me straight
I'm still goin' for broke, I push you to the stroke
And one man loc and say high
Smokin' to keep an open mind
Focus on military time provokin'
The G in me, n***a
(?) when he tried to step the Soopafly
A-Z-U-R shit
Now gettin' down with the Pound
Now who can shake it till it break ground?
Many motherfuckers are greedy
There's only one thing needed, like Idi, I mean business
When it comes to the cash, I'm movin' quick
(Any other n***a, eat a dick)
Fuck type shit
Make ya step back
Soopafly, hit like crack
Life is a jet, maintainin' the top figures deliver
The raw, rugged likwidation that be runnin' the river
Now, whether if a n***a step up
Be prepared to kick your rap up
Try to die in line for your cheque, huh n***a
[Hook: King T]
We make, make money, money
Takes money to survive
The meanin' of life with stacked chips is stay alive
'Cause it's all about the C-notes
Gonna be fuckin' when you're rollin' this too
Don't let the money make you

We make, make money, money
Takes money to survive
The meanin' of life with stacked chips is stay alive
'Cause it's all about the C-notes
Gonna be fuckin' when you're rollin' this too
Don't let the money make you

[Verse 3: Xzibit]
So when I die, bury me upside-down
So the whole world can kiss my ass, live fast
Sippin' from my bottomless glass of Hennessy, straight
So I catch you (?)
Xzibit comin' down like a saint
So prepare for the judgement day
Be careful what the fuck you say
Rhyme these parts, Amadeus and Mozart
The love for the arts and crash
Paragraphs to bust n***as in half
That's what I fuck with
(?) time to get my duck sit
Miss me if you try to make a buck with
I mean a quick buck, only got bad luck
Black cash every black trash
Never relax, never get attached to anything
That's not gonna hand so life
I come back like Christ
Pacific natural ice
With Sharif makin' sure R&B, was well done
Might live by the gun
But keep livin' through my livin' son
[Hook: King T]
We make, make money, money

[Outro: King T, (Soopafly)]
We make, make, money, money, make, money, money, money
We make, make, money, money, make, money, money, money
We make, make, money, money, make, money, money, money
We make, make, money, money, make, money, money, money
We take money, take money, take money, money, money

We take money, take money, take money, money, money
We take money, take money, take money, money, money
(Don't let this money make you)
