Do to Get the Money

from The Antithesis by SC Static & Funky RecordZ

/

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Yo I’ve chosen prophecy so I don’t rap for the doe
Since Sean Price passed I’m the brokest rapper you know
Yo middle class, blue collar with food stains
Collecting cans and returning bottles for loose change
To puff smoke till I’m literally broke dummy
But could still outflow you with little to no money
So every rhyme I check I’m tryna make a dollar stretch
Figuring out a way that I could try to pay this college debt
Peace to all my luck pushers dealing substances
All my bud pushers bumping Static through their subwoofers
I can smell a fake from the way he can’t stand straight
And I can tell a snake from a business man’s handshake
Offering their lump sums but I trust none
And it’s because of this a lot of heroes are unsung
Regardless I’ma spit and remain versatile
I rap for the love but business I take personal

(Chorus)
Cash rules from the city to the country
Strugglin’ for money tryna make 100 out of 20
Wealthy to bummy from an A student to junkie
Scamming computer hackin’ stealin’ loot from other countries
I’ve seen greed turn the beautiful to ugly
Sex sells as another excuse for acting slutty
Global warming, air pollution like it’s funny
It’s a damn shame what some people Do To Get The Money

(Verse 2)
Its like courtesy we only give for a fee
Never cheap cause nobody lifts a finger for free
Jeez, drunk and blunted to my liver and lungs
Out of funds when your money goes quicker than it comes
Like why capture the fish and not fry ‘em
Your only choice is to get rich or die buyin’
Going to whatever extent just to make a cent
Hard to stay content when you gotta hustle to pay the rent
Slave men trading time to make purchases
Abandoning their purpose for some monetary services
Delving deep into the depths of the block
Now it’s an inside job, the connect is the cop
And street cred isn’t actual credit
Whether cash, check, or debit just make sure that he gets it
If not then grab the mask and the messenger
Threaten to blast then grab the cash from the register


(Chorus)
Cash rules from the city to the country
Strugglin’ for money tryna make 100 out of 20
Wealthy to bummy from an A student to junkie
Scamming computer hackin’ stealin’ loot from other countries
I’ve seen greed turn the beautiful to ugly
Sex sells as another excuse for acting slutty
Global warming, air pollution like it’s funny
It’s a damn shame what some people Do To Get The Money

(Verse 3)
Single mothers on the hustle to compete for funds
Pole dancing and strippin’ so she could feed her son
Prostitution on the day of resignation
As the only stable way that she could pay for education
Forced to give away what she once considered sacred
Cause they ain’t makin’ a payment if she ain’t gettin’ naked
Degradation from the shallow ways of a wussy
Like what kind of man spends their money payin’ for pussy?
Like in showbiz, which has now been exposed
It’s not about skills or about who you know, it’s who you blow
Overnight road trip to your goals
With a manager who’s now a salesman for your soul
Auction your heart to the face of the final giver
Waiting to find a winner and taking the highest bidder
Sold out drug abuser actin’ slutty
It’s a damn shame what she gotta Do To Get The Money

(Chorus)
Cash rules from the city to the country
Strugglin’ for money tryna make 100 out of 20
Wealthy to bummy from an A student to junkie
Scamming computer hackin’ stealin’ loot from other countries
I’ve seen greed turn the beautiful to ugly
Sex sells as another excuse for acting slutty
Global warming, air pollution like it’s funny
It’s a damn shame what some people Do To Get The Money

(Verse 4)
Cause everyone could use a dollar or two
Regardless if you’re working in a white collar or blue (True)
So most choose to tag along with the faithless
Trading moral integrity for some paychecks
All’s it takes is a little bit of arrogance
With poppy seed plants being guarded by Americans
For Heroine addicting undergrads and troops
Mixed with Fentanyl from China being mass produced
More deadly than anything in the whole game
Pyscho-stimulants, Heroine, Methadone, or Cocaine
Everything is 2nd to synthetic opioids
And once it gets a hold of you forget it man its over with
You want money just sell your heart and get involved
Mix Heroine with Fentanyl and dead us all
Sellin’ poisin to the students and the junkies
It’s a damn shame what some people Do To Get The Money
