(when you rock and roll)

Let’s go!

Honeys know that money is the thing that they want

And brothers know that money is the thing that they want

And both’ll hit the block and try to hustle it up

In the club sellin' they souls (When you rock and roll)

Brothers’ll fight for that (Money Money)

That dough will make the closest friendship start to feel funny

Your homie that you run with starts to hide certain agendas

Suddenly the great pretenda

Don’t even bring it to the world of rap music

When we’re broke, it’s buddy-buddy

Money comes, you start to lose it

Your group starts with a dream to change the scene and change things

Behind the scenes, they fighting 'bout the same things

(When you rock and roll)

You can’t survive without that

(Money Money)

Record companies give little, but want everything from me

I signed it like a dummy, now I lost my control

Gave away my soul just so I could rock and roll

How much can you get for your soul?

W-when you rock and roll

Hit the road, pack my bags, say goodbye

You know heroes get remembered, but legends never die

So I never say never, and never ask why

They pay no tolls, I guess that comes

(when you rock and roll)

Right, doin' shows now there’s (money, money)

Last year you was dumb and out, broke and bummy (crazy)

They used to want advice, now they tryin to son me

It’s funny how the tides change, y' know?

(when you rock and roll)

Cash in pocket, big bank, money fold

Accounts drained, but keep a green gangster' s roll

They keep they thanks and they praise on hold

Things for granted no matter the debt, never owed

(when you rock and roll)

Small change or big (money money) cha- ching!

I’m broke they don' t call, I got loot they love me

I know both sides of the fence;

some days I feel like Mike

Other days Evidence

He’s rock and roll

How much can you get for your soul?

W-when you rock and roll

Yeah, everyday

Another day, another rhyme

Flippin' pennies to a dime

Over ten plus years been tryna earn my shine

Make moves, stay ahead of the game, and stack dough

Keep your business on point, yeah (when you rock and roll)

Everybody want that (money money)

Survival of the fittest and I’m tryna stay hunger

Keep the work ethic up, nothing’s given, nothing free

If you got a lot to lose, then don’t be an emcee

This industry will pimp you out like they own the block

If your stock don’t rise, then you might get locked

Doin' time cause you signed

Your career’s on hold

Live and learn or get burned c’mon (when you rock and roll)

Wack emcees making (money money)

You can find me in the lab doin' work, living grimy

Nothin' shiny on my neck, but I got mic control

And that’s the only thing you need when you

(when you rock and roll)
