Time Is Money (Ft. Rockie Fresh)

[Intro: Vic Mensa]

Ay Trip, where that smoke at?

Let me hit that bitch one time

Bless me, yeah

Stanky man

Boi 1da, INNANET, INNANET-NET-NET-NET-Nuh[Verse 1: Vic Mensa]

I was losin' it, lost in the dark, but I found my lighthouse

I like when it rains in the spring,

Light a J better seen with the lights, oh

(Dolo) Speakers in the Mac back like Rose like Mike, no

I know in the end niggas left, but I guess it's all alright, no

I mean, I know all them, their armors in that science ain't it

Prolly the reason my people's pupils so dilated

If you gon' die, might as well die young

Tryin' to be optimistic with the politicians

Cut schools, buy guns, but when the shots is lickin' at the ones that'll lose they son

Instead they send 'em to private schools and pull back on public funds

While functioning as if they could begin to fathom where the fuck we comin' from

Sometimes I hold my tongue, talkin' feels useless

I used to point in circles for wasted years lost in excuses

Time is money, every second I spent in high-school clockin'

Should've been on the road fuckin' with hoes, fallin' through holes in my pockets

But everything happens for a reason

If you choose to look at it that way

And put truth into the things you do

And really believe what you say

They say the darkest night comes before the brightest morning

I like to think I'd ask the right things if God was right before me

Like, why you let babies get shot while babies is killin'?

All because the system that raised me from grade school made me the villain

Barely out of my momma's crib,

Can't even tie my own laces

Just moved into a brand new place

But somehow I still miss my basement

I guess the thing about lookin' back is you can't change leavin'

And I guess the thing about judgin' the past is that it just ain't even[Hook: Vic Mensa & Beldina]

I know that money makes the world go 'round

Money makes the world go 'round

But don't forget it when you get it

My pops told me, told me, "Make money

But the money you make don't make you"

Make money, but the money you make don't make you

Make money, but the money you make don't make you

Make money, but the money you make don't make you[Verse 2: Vic Mensa]

Save money, hope the money you save could save you

Silk my sheets set in sace my sugar for my table

Too easy readin' people, tweetin', tweakin' like they hate you

But what's even easier is callin' your mom just to say thank you

Could've been the one that never dropped

Could've been the one that got shot

Could've never seen what it means to be mean

Be trapped in a box

Strapped in a box Chevy with lil' Eddie back home on the block

Blockin' the sunlight

It's like a solar eclipse in my city in the middle of a gunfight

Straight shots hit kids in the dark

That's the way it is like Walter Cronkite

Drunk off of the thrill, I feel like shootin' back in the distance

Prolly bounce off of a light pole and kill a fuckin' kid in the kitchen

Kissin' the past goodbye

Buyin' a stairway to heaven cause in time we all have to die

I just know when my time comes I'mma have made mine[Hook][Verse 3: Rockie Fresh]

Yeah, Sir Rockie I'm smoked out, but I'm grindin'

I'm never weed windin', but reclinin' while remindin'

You I'mma keep my foot on these pun niggas neck

Stay on the road like some wheels and a board and a deck

Young nigga wildin', gotta give respect

Rollie on my arm, I'm the one they elect

I got that fire flow, I'm the one they detect

Gotta get the check, these niggas wanna say, "Turn up"

But then they turn up and then they earn what?

Nothin', they frontin'

Here we go, we're the topic of discussion

Fresh nigga, but the flow is disgustin'

And the money come fast cause I run with the nigga that made

Every day we hustlin'

It's like we came with the master plan

Not just talk, but the cash in hand

Make a animorph into no-mans-land

We could make 100 grand just like no man can

But every time I sit and watch the weekend news

See how many people in the weekend lose

It give the boy the blues, fuck all these clothes and shoes

Motivation what they could use and I got it[Hook]
