Cash Rules

Is Life all that it seems
The world is an allusion
Around a dollar and a dream
I've been too focused on the cream
Trying to find self in a world
That told me cash is king

Power of the almighty
Fundamental how we put it up for the rebound
Reciprocate it with time but hardly ever does even out
Bank shots from 6 feet deep ain't no coming up from the underground
Where the roots lye grow stretch and spread wide
To all corners of the globe trying to figure out
If I keep digging I just have to make it through to the other side
Where the grass grow a little greener than I've seen in my life time
And the water flow in abundance
Though I continue to drink with a drought mind
Unquenchable I need more give me more
Been on the outs so long I had to kick down every door
Obstacles trials tribulations
Folks that I thought were friends became acquaintances
Everyone can't go along for the ride when you focused on making ends
Every moment contemplating the next move then I'm taking it

Is Life all that it seems
The world is an allusion
Around a dollar and a dream
I've been too focused on the cream

Too many times I done chase the dollar
Hoping it'll take me farther
From the bottom where I arose from the depths of the desert
The sun wasn't the only thing keeping the block hot
Still moving through any weather
Searching for the smallest opportunity for better
I couldn't afford to be nieve too many snakes behind the tumbleweeds
Dust storms making it hard for me to see
Some of the reasons my trust issues were conceived
Looking around observing all of the zombies
Follow in line I should be sellin dope took a different route in hopes
I'd make it out the way because I done seen how this story go
Still had money goals materials dreams of gold
Legends told from them days back on chipman road
Life steady rolling like the cameras on
Cameos of characters that never seem to play their role
Motion picture cut to the scene
Where my bank account full and all the worries gone

Is Life all that it seems
The world is an allusion
Around a dollar and a dream
I've been too focused on the cream
Trying to find self in a world
That told me cash is king
Is Life all that it seems
The world is an allusion
Around a dollar and a dream
I've been too focused on the cream
Trying to find self in a world
That told me cash is king
