Apollo Brown & Che Noir Money Orientated
[Intro]
When I watch TV
Then I see all them people and all them fine homes they live in
And all them nice cars, they drive
Then I get all full of ambition
You tell me what I'm supposed to do with all this ambition that I got
[Hook: AZ]
My mentality is money-orientated
I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it
[Verse 1]
Yo, paper chase the money
But never pray for money, only pray for wisdom
'Cause nobody can take that from you
You can always tell them niggas who ain't used to making money
'Cause them niggas annoying when they finally start making money
Y'all taking pictures of stacks, is that what y'all want me to see?
Y'all can count them stacks to this peak, that ain't no money to me
To make a hundred legally, that was my first big plan
I quit my job, then next week I made my first ten bands
Grew with niggas who use triggers just to stop the bullshit
You gon' need God to safe your life, 'cause the doctors couldn't
That tough shit don't mean nothing when they cock and pull it
Toughest nigga in the world still couldn't box a bullet
Yo, I got family that's behind walls and they caved down
Went in a Christian, now it's Allah when he praying now
That's when I realized that jail and death is where this money don't matter
Can't buy my way into heaven when he judging me after
[Hook: AZ]
My mentality is money-orientated
My mentality is money-orientated
My mentality is money-orientated
My mentality is money-orientated
I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it
[Verse 2]
Look, you say in God we trust
But I've seen God's people sell their souls for you
Good girls turned into strippers on poles for you
You're a poor man's dream but they tire you to evil
That's what Christ told disciples in the bible, they teach you
He tried to give advice to his people
Compared a rich man to a camel through a eye of a needle
You only live ones but if you live it right, it's a sequel
I felt trapped but this money make my life feel like freedom
You put the clothes on my back with designer labels
First star meals, sitting at my plate you held me by the table
You felt like heaven on earth
It's hard to leave you but I got to '
Cause my father gon' expect me in church
Granny said: "you can't grow money on trees from the earth"
But if you could then that explains why Eve bit it first
That's when I realized that jail and death is where this money don't matter
Can't buy my way into heaven when he come for the rapture
