Make The Money (Explicit) - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis/Macklemore/Ryan Lewis

Now this is my job I will not quit it

Pulled me out the depths when I thought that I was finished

Yeah I questioned if I could go the distance

That's just the work regardless of who's listening listening

Listen see I was meant to be a warrior

Fight something amongst me leave here victorious

Classroom of kids or a venue performing

If I'd had done for the money I'd have been a f**king lawyer

Concrete vagabond van telling stories

Humbled by the road I'm realizing I'm not important

See life's a beautiful struggle I record it

Hope it helps you maneuvering through yours and

That's why we stay in the lab at night

I've been staring into this pad for over half my life

A true artist won't be satisfied

So I guess that's the sacrifice

And I say

Make the money don't let the money make you

Change the game don't let the game change you

I'll forever remain faithful

All my people stay true

I say

Make the money don't let the money make you

Change the game don't let the game change you

I'll forever remain faithful

All my people stay true

Forget about the fame fortune and the mansion

Sitting and tripping watching myself on a plasma

Yeah I start slipping when I'm thinking about that stuff

Ego won't swole until the karma catches that up that up

I'm my grandma's number one grandson

I lost myself to remember who that was

We start thinking about some kicks a necklace

What I really need is a job off craig's list

Take away the dot com name love

Fans twitter followers and the buzz

See you keep the issues but you take away the ***

And I had to find out who I really was

Who I really wasn't

So sick of who I was becoming

Yeah tired of running

Time to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn to love him

Make the money don't let the money make you

Change the game don't let the game change you

I'll forever remain faithful

All my people stay true

I said

Make the money don't let the money make you

Change the game don't let the game change you

I'll forever remain faithful

All my people stay true

Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac

Watch the videos and get the girls in the back

But if that's what I believe in and the reason that I rap

Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track

Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac

Watch the videos and get the girls in the back

But if that's what I believe in and the reason that I rap

Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track

Make the money don't let the money make you

Change the game don't let the game change you

I'll forever remain faithful

Stay true stay true

And I said

Make the money don't let the money make you

Change the game don't let the game change you

I'll forever remain faithful

Stay true stay true stay true

Forget about the fame

I said forget about the fame

I'll forever remain faithful

Stay true stay true stay true
