Dilated Peoples › Lyrics › Trade Money

Everybody got dreams of makin' cash money

Trade money, different color and shape money
Money that looks funny but never no fake money
Make money, money, but please don't waste money
We don't love money but we don't hate money

Yo, if you live day to day then you probably live life
More than a cat who got a Benz, bank roll and a wife
'Cause yo, I seen a lot of folks whose so-called success equals depress
And look up to broke peeps who hold mics now

Play the role, reverse and understand
Your friend with no dough might be closer to earth
Take the pressure off the weight and see how it equates
If you hold yourself back to make papes, get it straight

You can use cash for tools, to get parks and pools
Community centers, rec rooms and schools
Book money, off the books and food money
Rent money, electronic money and crew money

First thing, flippin' over dollars, searchin'
For the eye in the chief corner stone in thirteen
Stay beyond hungry and thirsty, Dilated
We're damn near starvin' and we're dehydrated

Trade money, different color and shape money
Money that looks funny but never no fake money
Make money, money, but please don't waste money
We don't love money but we don't hate money

Trade money, different color and shape money
Money that looks funny but never no fake money
Make money, money, but please don't waste money
We don't love money but we don't hate money

No credit, everybody has to pay
Dope music, spittin' everything from hash to yay
Watch the traffic or you're gonna bring crash this way
Then have 'em swingin' at my door like Cassius Clay

The game don't exist without roles and rules
But comma manifest as the golden rule
Rolled on wheels in the eighties, they would jack them fools
Flashin' trucks and jewels, but not tuckin' they truck jewels

Yo, since last year I've accumulated more money
More big breaks, been dressy a little less bummy
But more headaches and more pain in my stomach
On top of that I got a lot of people actin' funny

But dummies get exposed when your weapon's are chose
Power to spit out your mouth cold could leave a man fold
Yo, been to certain places where the term "Green" don't mean s***
'Cause money's blue and that's what it takes to pay rent

Trade money, different color and shape money
Money that looks funny but never no fake money
Make money, money, but please don't waste money
We don't love money but we don't hate money

Trade money, different color and shape money
Money that looks funny but never no fake money
Make money, money, but please don't waste money
We don't love money but we don't hate money

Everybody got dreams of making cash money
Everybody got dreams of making cash money

Yo, trained to be patient but still wait eagerly
Approach easily, backed by walkin' Evil Dee
Sell medicine legally with my partners to our clients
Share the wealth with Babu and Iriscience

Navy B, Henny B, Beat Junkies sound
Expansion team, independent dollars, word a mouth
There's cats with twenty-twenty that'll never see money
To get the cash crop you have to plant seed money

Twelve inches spark, now accountants crunch digits
The same cat that battled them fools for lunch tickets
Everyday the rates change and currency's strange
Cambio, international money exchange

Trade money, different color and shape money
Money that looks funny but never no fake money
Make money, money, but please don't waste money
We don't love money but we don't hate money

Trade money, different color and shape money
Money that looks funny but never no fake money
Make money, money, but please don't waste money
We don't love money but we don't hate money

Trade money, different color and shape money
Money that looks funny but never no fake money
Make money, money, but please don't waste money
We don't love money but we don't hate money

Trade money, different color and shape money
Money that looks funny but never no fake money
Make money, money, but please don't waste money
We don't love money but we don't hate money

Trade money, trade money, trade money
Trade money, trade money, trade money
Money exchange
