Everyone is claiming riches
The finest bitches
Lexus' and Land's driving 'round without a plan
Everyone wants to go buck
But can you plant some food for yourself
When the land is looking rough?
This is the life
Equivanlent of the ɾeal
Don't live beyond your means
In this harsh-ass dream
Cause who will be [Am]'round
When your life is looking down?
Be tɾue to [C7]yourself
Plants your ɾoots in the ground
The ghetto [C7]is desolate
But don't be [Am]forgettin'
Money exchanges hands like [F]Off Track Bettin'
Project heat will keep ya sweatin'
Release energy through pores
Battles for [Dm7]thesis that held the project wars
Bullets never pour
Snatch your life from menacin crack-whores
By standing just outside of the limits of the law
On the face of human waste
Standin' out like [F]cold sores
It's what Black kids embrace
So f*ck a Cold War
If the Berlin Wall [Em]falls
What you [A7be [Am]fightin' for?
Cause devils come together to [C7]oppress me some more
It's clear f*ck a tactic that's old like [F]menopause
Yo I get down for [Dm7]mines
Stay out my [A]way gettin' yours
MC's who was [Am7]just fakin'
You should stop now because
Real guns in your mouth
Cause shit in your drawers
And besides, you [A7got [Fm7]much more to [C7]live for
Is hip-hop worth dying for?
Are you [A7sure?
Whenever I arrive
Niggaz know my [A]steez
Au-revoir MC's
Hit the floor and [Bm]freeze
All my [A]sons waving guns in barbaric fashion
Yo they children don't listen
They just imitate they actions
There's mad millionaires in the ghetto
All material things lose their value in time
That's why you'll find I'm a millionaire of the mind
I pack a million [C7]thoughts in every ɾhyme
Another millionaire dies every day
Effeminate character MC
Miscommunicate, oppress us, distɾess us
Relay the data like [F]a messenger from Mecca
How many men can testify to [C7]they tɾeasure?
Is this the neverland, the promised land?
Sheep for [Dm7]slaughter
Frontin' sons but ya can't feed your daughters
What's your livin?
Playin' to [C7]push a man for [Dm7]¿Sam?
Gettin' wired
And these are the days, the last plague
Watch the fire
Sensation [C7]ɾelation [C7]the ρhysical manifestation
Man's elation [C7]-- material accommodation
Facin this world
Conglomeratin' corporations
Deeper than the thesis
Observation [C7]of creation
Money makes a man ɾule a nation
After greed is lust
And soon [C7]to [C7]follow is distɾust
This ghetto [C7]paranoia is the ɾeason [C7]that you [A7bust
Caught up in the ciρher
Having negative thoughts
There's one less millionaire every single day
And you [A7could be [Am]the next
This life is ɾougher than the sex
Sex, sex
Yo I wonder when I get the land [Bm]cruiser and [Bm]the lex
(No sweats)
Dodgin' users from the other sex
I wonder if my [A]own people will be [Am]next
I need ɾespect that don't come with no weekly check
I know ghetto [C7]millionaires
They got [Fm7]cold chillin stares
And drug-dealin airs
They make hairs stand [Bm]up on [C7]the backs of necks of ¿mayors?
Who blow up fish markets and [Bm]got [Fm7]various targets
They sweepin' shit under carpets
I move stealth through the chicken-heads
With talcum on [C7]they chests
Yo Malcom's gone
And the elders ain't impressed with my [A]stɾuggle
I tɾy to [C7]make a profit and [Bm]I'll flip it so it double
Being poor just ain't worth the tɾouble
Extension [C7]of my [A]mansion [C7]
Where I keep my [A]stacks
Deep in the study where my [A]nerve endings ɾeact
There ain't no stoppin me
My feelings and [Bm]thoughts I have monopolies
Magnetic fields and [Bm]fields of dreams is my [A]property
Poor people who are stupid die quickly
I'm a millionaire that's carrying all [Em]my [A]assets with me
I go past the ρhysical world like [F]Sufis
My people's was [Am7]sold one-by-one like [F]Lucy's
These niggaz got [Fm7]grams but no lands yo you [A7losin me
Watch that first step, its a doozie
There's mad millionaires in the ghetto
All material things lose their value in time
That's why you'll find I'm a millionaire of the mind
I pack a million [C7]thoughts in every ɾhyme
Another millionaire dies every day
