He wasn't born to privilege, but he was born to scrimmage , realised to this world, there was more than image, knew to succeed , you must ignore your critics , loved his music , but deplored the business, now, you can sell your soul and get scores of riches , but in the end result , you'll be torn and twisted, lived to the fullest, thought he saw his limits , stayed on his principles , was to hardcore to pivot, living to rhyme , but later driven to crime, so cool, most would of thought he aint sinned in his life, things changed , at the blink of an eye , when he mentioned, 'I just got to do a thing for this guy' said, 'I'm choked' looking at his kid, flat broke, five years down the track , wish he hid , that dope , his pops always spoke about not mixing with bad folk , now they pulled him from a river , just to give him a tagged toe.
CHORUS
Rob for the money, steal for the money, man I got to get them dollar bills for my honey, should I rob for the money , steal for the money , do deals for the money , look , chill for me honey , should I rob for the money , steal for the money , got to get them dollar bills , for my honey , should I rob for the money , steal for the money , do deals for the money , look , chill for me honey. Life can be funny ( it aint funny) bro that boy got killed, killed for the .........
VERSE 2
A once disciplined kid , became inflicted within , stricken with the sickness , of living for friends , bad habits of drinking, didn't pay dividends, wife gave him the ultimatum, leave or make ends , meet, so for a while, he lived in deceit, started making that money pile, without bringing receipts, Mrs is all smiles, thinking its sweet, while his palms are sweaty, heart skipping a beat, till a night, he got drunk and started wetting his beak, dipped up in his mix, he aint slept in a week, a once strong figure, got swept off his feet , said, 'I'm in hot water', and I guess it was deep, said now, 'I'm probably safer in a cell than the street, a week later, he knew how well he'd foreseen, selling to some D's , then he gave up his team, his crew found him, took his life just to pay for his deeds.
CHORUS
Rob for the money, steal for the money, man I got to get them dollar bills for my honey, should I rob for the money , steal for the money , do deals for the money , look , chill for me honey , should I rob for the money , steal for the money , got to get them dollar bills , for my honey , should I rob for the money , steal for the money , do deals for the money , look , chill for me honey.

Everyday's a trial we facing, pictures in my mind retracing. X4
