Joey Vantes
Filthy Lucre
[Intro]
(Legend)

[Verse 1]
Maybe I lost my thirst (Thirst)
Maybe getting all this money really made me worse (Yee)
I don't take the time I used to put into a verse (I don't)
Busy calculatin' how I'm 'bout to spend my purse (Cha-ching)
They told me "Watch yourself, success can be a dirty curse" (Yeah)
And they were right, caught it on a private flight
You were askin' me for love, I was focused on the likes (Likes)
Had me on your mind, I was on the bottom line
I was banding up some bands, you were bleedin' out your side
Didn't have another, but I kept you on the right
Baby, I don't how you stayed with me, you must be out your mind
Roll executive, you been the number and the sign
Best around my life, you make the crystal truly shine
Almost lost my hand, but you were right there every time
You got me dialed like a 30-35
You got me dialed like a 30-35

[Verse 2]
I saw the stars fallin' right out of the sky (Sky)
I had a dream that I been watching coming alive (Yeah)
I got too much that's goin' on inside my mind (Ooh)
Wish I could spilt myself in forty different lives (Said it, yee)
That's the language, that's the code
If you were in my frequency, then you would know (Said it)
If you were family, you would never be alone (Call you)
It's more than blood, we been connected through the soul (Yeah)
So why you actin' like you out here on your— (Yeah)

[Bridge]
Out on the block now
This ain't no Twitter or talk now
Shepherd the sheep of my flock now
Do what I do, then I clock out
Out on the block now
This ain't no twitter or talk now
Shepherd the sheep of my flock now
Do what I do, then I clock out
Oh, woah
Yeah

[Verse 3]
Thinkin' I'm another nice guy
Really hope you roll the dice right
If it comes down to you or me
Bet I'ma light the night sky
Lay down my life for my family, won't think twice
Yeah, best believe I won't think, brrt
I think it's somethin' in the water for me (It's wet)
Do it blindfolded 'cause I'm auditory
You listen to the government, you stuck in purgatory
You follow me, I'm 'bout to take you the mornin' glory (Brrt)
Okay, didn't wanna (Yee)
But I did it anyway
Asking for the (Whew, whew, whew), anyway
You don't speak my language, you just get up out my face
Yeah, they say there's never been a right
Cruisin' through the West
Yeah, I been cruisin' through the the Westside
Uh, that's the language and the code
This ain't music, this a frequency, it's from the soul
Lately been to places that you're not allowed to go
Take my hand and we can travel down the rabbit hole
