All Money 1983

(专辑： Unlearning, Vol. 1 - 2021)

I looked up to them
Until we met
A lot of cats are weirdos
I mean they're rapping ok
But not no superheroes
I never met Bob De Niro
Also never met Federal Bureaus
I was young
I met Al Pacino
1983
He was slanging Kilo's
Tony Montana in the flesh
Or Michael from the Godfather
I was impressed
My Ma named me after him in that movie
Part 1 & 2
Part 3 didn't move me
Since then
The bar been set high
Los Angeles
Live and let die
Homies out of line I don't let fly
I'm from Venice Beach like Biggie is to Bed-Stuy
You fucks out here trying too hard
Trying to get the first down
But they shy of it yards
I went from people looking down on me
My God
To taller people looking up
Disregarding my flaws
I'm not perfect
Print some letters mixed with cursive
I don't know much but what my worth is

All money is not good money
I know what my worth is
All money is not good money...

Feet stay grounded
Found my new balance
Choices that I've made in this game are true talents
I've been stacking
If I say it too soon
It don't happen
If I did it's never lasting
Both hands coming out blasting
Like I'm holding two mac ten's
No guns
Just my fingers pointed at them
Talent and borrow
Or genius and steal
Nothing halfway about me's what I'm here to reveal
I'm cold blooded if they doing me dirt
God's plan
I'm just doing the work
Smoked a joint at Harun in Leimert
All my people do influence the word
Love get ya
And the truth gonna hurt
Fuck complacent
Cause anger is the king of inspiration
Embarrassment
Things we all been facing
I played the humble till the wolves came out the jungle
I've seen kings fall
And empires that crumble

All money is not good money
I know what my worth is
All money is not good money...
