about

Cash Is King is a track about converting your passion into monetary gain.

lyrics

Verse 1
I don’t look like a rapper there’s stigmas and stereotypes
I’m more divergent not dauntless or erudite
When I compose my flows I type them I rarely write
Punch ‘em into to my laptop no biting even though they megabytes
And I don’t got no buzz so this is very honestly for the love of the game
Impervious there are zero permeable membranes
They heard that I rap but right now that can’t recollect my name
I hear Alzheimer’s and dementia antagonizes their brain
Plus Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and brain tumor growths
If you got one of those then I kinda get it you’ll never know the bombs I wrote
Gotta build these bridges mobilize people and get ‘em all across this moat
If I don’t reach out to folks then I’ll forever be broke
Hell no it ain philanthropy everything I record there’s a fee
From the studio time to the beat makers and yet every single track is free
If it was ever up to me this music would never be free
Think about that each and every time you jack another artist mp3 and…
Whoa whoa slow your roll
Whoa whoa slow your roll
Whoa whoa slow your roll
Whoa whoa slow your roll

Chorus

Gotta get that money, that cash, that paper, cheddar cream
I heard them say that this money isn’t everything
But without this money you can’t purchase anything
I got bills to pay man bill collectors tell me cash is king (x2)

Verse 2

Here’s why I want the money I’m a hip your brain to the psychology
I wanna give the world the finger and make moves without any apologies
I don’t care I’ll pay the taxes just wait until these haters get a load of me
And if you a need a miracle don’t look at me keep clutching on your rosary
‘Cause there’ll be no handouts I did it my way everybody else had doubts
A bunch of fair-weather fools in the winter they get scared pack up and head south
What they don’t know about me is that I’m gritty and I gets grimey like grout
While they looking winded I’ll be going all the way in a twelve round bout
People come up they got advice try to tell me what to think tell me what to write
Who to sound like insulting right they ain wrote a damn thing in they whole damn life
Couldn’t ignite if you gave them a light while I’m so combustible I combust on sight
Kid dyn-o-mite if the future’s bright I’ll be richer than uranium that’s no hype
Who the hell are you a sanctimonious judge hitting dislike like you got some kinda grudge
Don’t be mad ‘cause the people like me and if they don’t like me I got a strong psyche
I just might be the most nonchalant fool through adversity I remain cool
But just because I’m cool don’t mean that it’s sweet
I may be soft spoken but I ain meek so…
Whoa whoa slow your roll
Whoa whoa slow your roll
Whoa whoa slow your roll
Whoa whoa slow your roll


Chorus

Gotta get that money, that cash, that paper, cheddar cream
I heard them say that this money isn’t everything
But without this money you can’t purchase anything
I got bills to pay man bill collectors tell me cash is king (x3)
