Get ready boys
Yeah!
I never a life without strut

I never thought this %#@! I write would buff
Money comin


All the sudden I got new cousins
But I won't circulate it down with those who wasn't grind
My past make it hard to sleep at night

It's what I said was gonna feel me if I speak it right
I put my name on each and every beat
Like every black

I want my name on every street
The !@$@s ridin around with me boy they was never sweet
And most these rappers lame

It's probably why we never speak
I used to sell white crack to make my Jordan money
The things did getting that dough wasn't important to me

Got to a point where I was used to %#@!ting up to
But knowing right from wrong and still was playing dumb too
I saw a way above the hood and started running too

I was barely getting bread but now...

I take the lashes to the wind

Just tryin' to make my ends
On this road to the riches
More dough and less friends

Look at life, look at who designed the lanes
I can't see my hustle ever break a beat
But I'm on this road to the riches

But I'm on this road to the riches

What's the use in having bank but all your !@$@s broke?

And what's the use in going hard if all your !@$@s won't?
I always kept it real even when !@$@ don't
And that's the reason I am who all the real !@$@s quote

Talk about it but really got it
How you feel about it
Steady my moves cause lack of focus lead to lack of option

Got in this rap to clear my thoughts and into second profits
Double your grind, double your shine
That's just basic logic

But boy %#@! on the largest scale be microscopic
If it ain't paper or progression, it's off the tap
Yeah! It's that Malcolm man making flow

You know that though it in the gear
But never parking flow
If you ain't have independents, then whatcha starting for?

The eye stack then you'd guess you gonna make it hard to go
Money, power and respect that all we wanted
Been on this road and (*##$ I'm staying on it


I take the lashes to the wind
Just tryin' to make my ends

On this road to the riches
More dough and less friends
Look at life, look at who designed the lanes

I can't see my hustle ever break a beat
I'm on this road to the riches
I'm on this road to the riches
