Money (feat. Jiggy Jah) Video (MV)

"I don't want to take my time going to work
I got a motorcycle and a sleeping bag
And ten or fifteen girls
What the hell I want to go off and to- and go to work for?
Work for what?
Money, I got all the money in the world
I'm the King man!"

How many days can I afford?
How many strains does my life need more?
Seems there's no way I can still stay sane
Things that I've lost never entertained, so tell me
How many days can I afford?
How many strains does my life need more?
Seems there's no way I can still stay sane
Things that I've lost never entertained, so tell me

I used to sell origami and paper products
These machinations elementary brain created
'Til other kids started taking my credit
Third or fourth grade ain't learn lesson
Felt I was losing my business
I was a toddler despairing and then they shut that shit down
Told we were acting like clowns
For making dollars I'm told we're born to be scholars
Guess I wanted my success indifferent to doctor
Things that I've seen that been offered
Hustlers stuffing their coffers
Guzzlers gassing for commas
Wondering whether I'm really bumbling
Being busy as bees but barely buzzing and fumbling
F*ck I'm blaming my government, hating who I've become
Ego angry accustomed to having nothing but crumbs
I'm writing it all away with day-to-day pain persisting
I feel like death been on a mission not to pardon my vision
I feel I'm gifted, in several ways
But tryna turn a profit, will test my brain
I think I'm outta options

How many days can I afford? (Yooo)
How many strains does my life need more?
Seems there's no way I can still stay sane (Stay sane)
Things that I've lost never entertained, so tell me
How many days can I afford?
How many strains does my life need more?
Seems there's no way I can still stay sane (Ay)
Things that I've lost never entertained, so tell me (Alright)

As I close my eyes I start to realize
The real lies people feed to you and I and we question why?
It's funny how money could beat the odds
It's funny how honey love me but want to f*ck the gods (Why they love me like)
Hol' up, just let me roll up for my people
Money only thing in sight but yet all I see is evil
Learned so many lessons now that I'm counting blessings
Loved ones thought I'd be a felon but
Spitting pain up in the session
It's the Great Depression
Everybody dying, no lyin', quit crying and relyin' on the help
Create ya wave and swim through it like Michael Phelps
Hope that help, yah (That was it, that was it)

How many days can I afford?
How many strains does my life need more?
Seems there's no way I can still stay sane
Things that I've lost never entertained, so tell me
How many days can I afford?
How many strains does my life need more?
Seems there's no way I can still stay sane
Things that I've lost never entertained, so tell me

A teen in high school tryna make the time fly
Pockets empty usually but luckily found a five (Ayy)
Do I get lamb over rice? Or spend it all on a cyph? (Shiit)
I was hungry, but decided I would rather get high (Let's smoke)
Got off my ass, saved up some cash, called up the plug for a quarter (Brrrt)
Broke it down, made money back, took everything even quarters (F*ck it I'll take it, I'll take it)
Now I can smoke for free, call up the bros to hotbox my quarters
Until I run out, then I gotta go and place a new order (Yo)
World is crazy, I ain't talkin' 'bout no mental disorders (Ahhh)
People lazy, rather rob you then work at brick and mortars
Vision hazy, think you comin' up but only fall shorter
In love with Mary Jane, but hate that I could barely afford her
Now I'm like...

How many days can I afford?
How many strains does my life need more?
Seems there's no way I can still stay sane
Things that I've lost never entertained, so tell me
How many days can I afford?
How many strains does my life need more?
Seems there's no way I can still stay sane
Things that I've lost never entertained, so tell me
