False Profits (Lyrics) Verse 1: Less talk more action When it come to NC I’m the main attraction All you’ve seen is a fraction From this point I’ll be rapping like it’s going out of fashion Money don’t move my soul (It’s still gold) Truth never runs from a lie (It’s still told) Fame cost a piece of your life (It still sold) Heard that dirty money corrupt (It control) Heard too many speak ill Of the man I became They gotta Aim high to talk down on my name Never claimed to be the greatest It’s a skill that I trained Round of applause For the moths who gonna flock to my flame I done shook hands with crooks thieves and killers Now I’m compared to black thought and dilla Seen how the powers at be remove pillars Of community False profits and opportunity Hook: Money talk a real good game But still lie How many people immortalized But still die Still a few things that money cannot buy (But everything gotta price) You can have it if you want it (I know) Can I get it if I want it (Fasho) You can have it if you want it (I know) Can I get it if I want it (Fasho) Verse 2: When this finally pay off They gon say I received a meek Mil Can’t afFORD the whip But I carry the chains still aBOARD the ship that carried the slaves The blood spilled But bounced back For 16 bars I’m grant hill What’s a man without a dollar Some would say a bum But others would say a scholar Some would say a fool Some would say it’s cool Some would hit a lick Then drop out of the school That’s what they Want you to do Be a statistic or incarcerated I don’t find it funny How they been treating the melanated Celebrated death The community is devastated They destroying all that we created And I think it’s dumb Folk disrespect People that came out of the slums Lying on my daddy They don’t know where we from Money ain’t gone change It’s just following your lead The evil isn’t money It’s greed
