Chapter 13 Songtext
von Common

Let′s talk about money
Get money
Common Sense want the money
Let's talk about money

I be the one they call Peavey
I′m Poe as Edgar Allen
But I'm a poet when I'm freestylin

You got a design masterwind Not Never The Less
Fresh like L addresss yes the LS′s here
I appear on piers with my peers
The Imperial like margerin, I′m butter
Yes like Bel-Air

Lookin' at my fake Gucci, it′s about that time
It's time for some perculator
I circulate around the block
Black to get me a six pack a half of Harrow′s chicken
A good combination, when I get bubbly I do it in moderation
1 brew, 1 brew, I said 1 brew at a time


Well I'm a two timer of women that′ll 3 times a lady
Ms. Haiti say Sade and my Ms.Golper say
"Yo whoop there it is" call me E cause I equal MC's squared
In the bed marks know I got the key to get the girls
Noses open like the vapors, more pub than the papers
More papers than the press, oh yes I gets paid

Yo, I didn't grow grow up po po but once you get grown and out on your
Own
Bills upon bills upon bills is what you have
Before you get your check then you already spend half
See I make money, money doesn′t make me
I′m a reflection of my section and section 8

Enough, I own 8 sections of the world, where I'm sexin′ 8 girls
Where I have 'em comin′ in (ugh) 8 seconds
I told Victoria her Secret you suck life Seacrest
I Ultrawhite my secretery, I went to Tibet
To bet on a horse you bet your life
Mine was better and now you're deader, than a (door knob) eeea wrong

So what′s your name?
I'm the Com that wrote Com Sense, and when I don't got scratch
I do feel tense, and if you give your papers to a broad youse a dummy
Cause without the money
Ain′t a damn thing funny


These rhymes I exchange like stock, I′m live like stock
I rock like Prudential, making ha ha from Zero
That's mucho denero, like Robert Denero, I rob Berts denero
A hero like the sandwich, a man which has mills like Stephanie Mills
Dills like pickels, I′m fancy man like tickles LIKE (the french)
Not Johnny but like a Bench I press on like glue

I stand like Lee while you stagger like Lee (Ha!)
Most likely I'll gagger that bullish I pull ish like a magnet
A dragnet, I don′t drag I gets net income, yo bums I rush like
Adrenaline
I'm royal when I flush, your highest hush will get mushed like a
Sleigh dog

I slay dogs who are under me, I over man, call me Doverman
Cause I′m a Pincher of pennies that's pretty, then you see green from
All money
I spend (what you do?) I stay fresh like mint from mint
I meant my mint, know what I mean? I'm nice
Real friendly like an officer, friendly and a gentleman

Friendly like neighbors, not Jim but like Homer I got high salute, attention salute
I kill loot but won′t dilute, even if I threw garbage on the ground
I couldn′t pollute, man, I'm too rich for that, Biiitch

So what′s your name?
I'm Ynot I own a mansion and a yacht (uh ha)
I got essentials and credentials and honeys at my feet (come on)
And when I walk the street I′m never looking bummy

Cause without the money
"Ain't a damn thing funny"
Ok there was a black man a white man and a chinese man
The black man of course he was po (yeah)
The white man. he was rich (uh ha)
And the chinese man, he owned a store (alright c′mon)
Ok the black man lived on Beech Street
The white man lived on Wall Street

And at the Chinese man's store is where they all meet
Not really on the good foot
Because the white man kept steppin' on the black man′s toes
And in his shoes there were holes
But the white man didn′t care, shit, he didn't have to wear it (uh ha)
He scratched that pad he got from his parents, with his tight ass

He would have been poor white trash, but anyway
Everyday the blackman would ask for some spare change
But Adam, the white man would stare strange
So the black man got fed up
Cause wasn′t nobody feedin' him and feedin′ him
And took red by his neck and started beatin' him and beatin′ him
The chinese man got noyd and broke out like a peon
And now the black man own the store and the name of it is Leons
(What's that?)
Barbeque that is. Rib tips hotsuace, mild sauce, fries

So what's your name?
I′m Ynot I own a mansion and a yacht (uh ha)
I got essentials and credentials and honeys at my feet (come on)
And when I walk the street I′m never looking bummy
Cause without the money
"Ain't a damn thing funny"
