Lyrics
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Uh (And), uh, uh-huh
Hey, listen here, just because you're big in the pocket (Uh)
Doesn't mean that you're made of gold (Say what? Say what?)
Hey, it may be cool to have a car, lock it (Lock it? Yeah)
What will you find at the crossroad? (I don't know, I'm hopin' smooth, I guess)
Is it love and money? (Nah)
It's love and money (Nah, I don't think so)
I don't know what it is, but you know what?
I wanna flow with it again
Come on, man (Come on), get with it, and
I'm a Brooklyn bound brother, true to the art (Uh-huh)
Never had a job so I had it off me and my pop (Uh-huh)
That's cool (Uh-huh), 'cause I handle it with no stress
Mom looked out our papes so I can finesse (Good)
Now I'm makin' records and looted 'til I die (Uh-huh)
I got a loaded ride that's all that and got run (Uh-huh)
So hon (So hon, yeah), steppin' so you can get done
All the way home to my mad song, come on
It's just a bill
Yes, it's only a bill
Not for the money
Not for money
It's just a bill
Yes, it's only a bill
Not for the money (Not the money)
Not for money (Uh-uh)
Ah yeah
Ah yeah
Alright
Come on, uh-uh, yeah
Let me make this point clear, I get paid, honest (Uh-huh)
But I don't believe in workin' for the man, oh no (Oh, word, I hear that, uh-huh)
You see, I wasn't born yesterday (Ah)
I know what was mine they took away (Uh-huh)
The only thing I know is to survive (What is it? Yeah)
Not for the money (No, not at all, not the money, not the money)
Not for money (Uh-uh, not the money, not the money)
It ain't all about that money
The money to the check one, two, from the crew, yeah
So growin' up, some said I wouldn't make it (Ah, he has no skill)
The teacher said, "Hey, do as you will" (Hey, you're not my son)
That's smooth and alright (Uh-huh)
I did it my way and I'm still bright (Right)
'Cause they couldn't know the time (I heard that), and comprehend the vibe (Uh-huh)
That I needed somethin' more than a 9 to 5 (9 to 5?)
Throw your hands in the air with the new twist (Uh-huh, new twist)
Keep it on, keep it on with the new licks
Swing it with the
Check one, check two
Check one, check two
Check one, check two
Check (Ah yeah, here we go, what's up? Come on)
Ah yeah
Ah yeah
Alright
Come on, uh-uh
Yeah
Now I'm comin' through your Jeep or your Walkman (Now how'd you get down there?)
The sounds goes down so you could understand (Understand what?)
That I like to make music for the people to get loose to it
True and true and true for you to groove to it (Yeah)
Now I sing a rap (What do you do?) and that's what I like to do (Uh-huh)
Get up on a stage and do what I gotta do (What ya gotta do?)
Just like you, I'm true to the game (How so?)
I never sold out, I'm still the same
It's just a bill
Yes, it's only a bill
Not for the money
Not for money
It's just a bill
Yes, it's only a bill
Not for the money (Not the money)
Not for money (Uh-uh)
Uh
Check one, check two
Check one, check two
Check one, check two
Check (Ah yeah, here we go, what's up? Come on, uh)
Check one, check two
Check one, check two
Check one, check two (Here we go, here we go, ah yeah, come on now)
It's just a bill
Yes, it's only a bill
Not for the money
Not for money
It's just a bill
Yes, it's only a bill
Not for the money (Not the money)
Not for money (Uh-uh)
Uh
In 1993, Around The Way
Won't sell out for the money, you know what I'm sayin'?
Ah yeah, so we out here
Check it out, check it out, uh
See ya
