Money Talk (wersja 2)

Verse

Block still the same, but I moved up the ladder

Corner store to corner office now I'm the one who's ordered

Drip's the same language that they speak around here

Money talk more than a smile or a tear

Auntie on welfare, cousin in college too

Every dollar I drop is something that I go through

Chorus

I don't speak for love when money talks first

Hands up in the air but my eyes stay on the burst

Verse

New watch on loan, still paying it off slow

Boardroom table where the same old men used to go

I ain't got a choice between the corner and the globe

This is what they mean by hustle when you ain't got no one else

Corner store my father worked for twenty years

Now I own the block but I still count my tears

Chorus

I don't speak for love when money talks first

Hands up in the air but my eyes stay on the burst

Bridge

What's a man when the check says 'do

Who do you answer to if it ain't your mother or your god

Ain't no church that pays this kind of debt

So I pray with my pen before I take the bet

Verse

Fortune 500 on the wall, still keep my old phone

Numbers don't lie but they also ain't home

I see the same faces on the street every night

Same struggle different suit, same hunger for light

I made it so far, can't remember how I started

Now I'm the one they come to when the whole block's assorted

Chorus

I don't speak for love when money talks first

Hands up in the air but my eyes stay on the burst

Outro

Money don't lie, it just tells you what to do

Love was always free, I just never knew
