Power, Money & Influence Songtext
von Jean Grae

Power, money and influence
I had a taste of it, now I'm all into it
The game ain't over till I get my share
Till I have my run, this here is my year

Power, money and influence
I had a taste of it, now I'm all into it
The game ain't over till I get my share
Till I have my run, this here is my year

Man, I'm a tycoon, whether in person or slick right on
Crisp Nikes on, six niggaz with sick pythons
Right around your area, face close like a scared
Straight playin' your host, you get bitched out

This ain't fluffin' a rang, this clip ain't bang
You sittin' lame duck, shittin' on the names stuck
I vow this year, power's mine
If I gotta sketch up my name, empowering rhymes


If I gotta attend jail just to boost up the sales
I know a label owner that I'd love to bruise up for bail
I know my family got it, they pull together but it's amniotic
I mean baby like askin' for a name spot it

The talent, the influential and erotic
Put on the back burner but potential as a parent
Every track is a murder but could treat it like lobonic
The play that graze here, now MC's in a daze mind

Power, money and influence
I had a taste of it, now I'm all into it
The game ain't over till I get my share
Till I have my run, this here is my year

Power, money and influence
I had a taste of it, now I'm all into it
The game ain't over till I get my share
Till I have my run, this here is my year

In one second flat I tear your whole frame
Plus we pack like a stadium does, at a pro game
Got so many ways to end yo glory
Rub you out, shut you down, then it's end of story


I'm like Robert Horry with a clutch three
You can't touch me, the black double oh-seven, nigga trust me
Modern day Ali when it comes to the rhyme
Know how to hold the fort down when they comin' for mine

I'm crafty, I move swift and changeable
Plus I'm aware of what jealousy and anger do
You can't help yourself then you can't help me
Can't smell what the truth is then you can't smell me

You can tell a million stories about how gully you are
Then as soon as you finish, I'm be pullin' your card
I step so courageously, I rap so amazingly
I guess you could say, that niggaz slept on me basically

Power, money and influence
I had a taste of it, now I'm all into it
The game ain't over till I get my share
Till I have my run, this here is my year

Power, money and influence
I had a taste of it, now I'm all into it
The game ain't over till I get my share
Till I have my run, this here is my year

Jean Grae, Kweli, Guru, for the first time
Let the games begin like Jaceson Taylor wrote his first rhyme
Technology make niggaz lazy with the pro tools
Even you could write your in the booth like you were Jay-Z

A Hollywood between reality TV and rap
Is there ain't no more use for the classically trained actor
First light bulb ever made is still burnin'
They sell the ones that burn out to take the money you earnin'

Word that marijuana grow too natural to be a cash crop
We have cops at bars, smokin' squares, throwin' back shots
They walk the street and bring the heat to the asphalts
Servin', protectin' the half, beatin' on the have not's

Niggaz talk greasy in the magazines
Till they track down and you hear the sounds of loaded magazines
Havin' dreams till they ribs got a gat in between
Passion for cream, make a nigga wanna splatter your spleen
That shit is mean

Power, money and influence
I had a taste of it, now I'm all into it
The game ain't over till I get my share
Till I have my run, this here is my year

Power, money and influence
I had a taste of it, now I'm all into it
The game ain't over till I get my share
Till I have my run, this here is my year
