If anybody know me, they know that I ain't never started slow.
They love a nigga back home just like Go-Go.
Dat's right, Nino-fuckin'-G said "go-go"...
Still doin' my thang when I can, it's always a go-go.
Government these days are soft like un-prepared cocoa...
So I keep my state of mind hot like cocoa.
See the N-Y fitted, see the Polo?
If anything talks to me about money, it's a go-go.
Since we're in this recession, everything is slow.
Since we're in this recession, damn right anything goes.
I remember back when 89 cents for gas was the shit, yo...
And now they've gone up, went commercial just like promos.
Lookin' out for my boi'z, no homo...
They got a court date, more than likely they'll be a no-show.
Don't trip cuz switchin' up is a no-no...
God Bless America has turned into the new World Logo.
Prices for everything are rising...
Makes it hard on everybody.
Unemployment still goin' up...
Somebody let me know what's up.
Let the dollar circulate...
Pretty soon, all the banks are gonna have empty safes...
Shit, take the Depression-ees and fill 'em into that empty space.
Everybody lookin' at their bills like, "This ain't my place."
I wanna stop Bush's Party, but that ain't my place.
But I ain't done yet, it's just not my case...
If it was my case, then I plead the 5th.
The way my mind's gone now, I should tell Ruby to pass me the fifth.
Can't rely on FEMA like they gon' send Louisiana a gift.
They could have sent 'em some hope...give thier spirits a lift.
Instead, they left 'em for dead in water filled pit.
Then they hid the evidence, put on invisible gloves...
Turned it around, and made it seem like they're the ones to love.
Shit, don't believe the media.
They're the reason 80% the country takes nothin' but Visa.
I'll tell you this; this is what I'll tell you...
When shit gets rough, there's no tellin' what they'll tell you.
Interest rates goin up...
Seems like the goverenment don't give a fuck.
Rents being paid late...
Utlilites are overdue today.
Let the Dollar circulate...
And I'm not the one that's gonna say, "I told ya."
Lord knows I can't wait til' this fuckin' recession's over.
Cost of living now is higher than I'll ever be, and I'm tryna see...
Cuz wherever the money's at is where I'm tryna be.
It was still straight for me last year, shit I was ballin'...
Now "ballin'" is just one step above the dreaded "fallin'".
I be lookin' at my cash like, "Where da FUCK is the rest at?"
I be lookin' at my J's like they were bad investments.
Speakin' of investments, it's hard to invest in
Anything these days, so my money get's well-rested
For the time being. We'll see what happpens next...
As we live one day at a time, paycheck to paycheck...
Politicians talkin' bullshit...
I hear so much of it, it's making me sick.
Colleges taking anybody they can
To build up their money plans.
