Find Ya Wealth Lyrics

[00:00.13] Crime, life, bitches, money, time
[00:06.73] For my Braveheart's, my Braveheart's
[00:11.63] Uh, uh, uh, what, what, what?
[00:17.39] One time, two times
[00:22.25] From "Breaking Atoms" to "Illmatic", to goin' platinum
[00:25.30] Shit did change course since rippin' it with Main Source
[00:28.14] Nine-one, nine-two, time flew
[00:29.90] Out of the blue, time for a new young king to rule
[00:32.58] Younger frame, older state of mind
[00:34.49] Find my name on a page in your Qu'ran, I learned that, in '89
[00:37.78] When I was slingin' cocaine and baby nine
[00:40.00] Put it in rap and I gave ya'll a way to rhyme
[00:42.64] God guides us, from public assistance to high rises
[00:45.57] Condos, houses where y'all can't find us
[00:48.07] Move on your cliques in silence, and wet it up
[00:50.37] My meal everyday was a slice and 7-Up
[00:52.71] Took advice from a street legend
[00:54.54] Identities have been changed, to protect the innocent
[00:57.12] Witnessin' niggas mistakes, visits at niggas wakes
[01:00.38] 'Cause jealousy infiltrates and seals your fate
[01:02.82] Look way deep inside yourself
[01:04.85] Discover the diamond inside, find ya wealth
[01:07.48] Once you get it, you gotta live it the limit
[01:10.04] Niggas never wanna see you with it, fuck them tho'
[01:12.99] Niggas can't come close enough to touch the dough
[01:15.55] The lifestyle I live is untouchable
[01:17.97] So we clutch a few, guns that'll touch your crew
[01:20.61] 'Cause we learned to do what the hustlers do
[01:23.08] Different ways to come out the hood, in cuffs or a casket
[01:25.68] Or crazy, or shootin' three pointer baskets
[01:27.99] Or maybe, it's the rap shit, all type of tactics
[01:30.72] We use to get dough, some choose kickin' in doors
[01:33.20] I asked a Reverend, my mother and a best friend
[01:35.73] Less than ten years ago for me to get dough
[01:38.09] What y'all recommend is either dope weed or blow
[01:40.56] 'Cause high school was slow, and jewelry was hot
[01:43.23] Duckin' truancy cops, trains I hopped, to make it downtown
[01:46.23] Cisco in my veins, pissed between trains
[01:48.36] Canal Street, just lookin' at rings
[01:50.71] Outside through a glass, went in the store and asked how much it cost
[01:54.21] Korean man brushin' me off
[01:55.75] For some other big time customer, probably a hustler
[01:58.61] Who looked down at my small chain and chuckled up
[02:01.04] I said, "I'll be just like you soon, motherfucker, what?"
[02:03.33] Look way deep inside yourself
[02:05.37] Discover the diamond inside, find ya wealth
[02:08.12] Once you get it, you gotta live it the limit
[02:10.63] Niggas never wanna see you with it, fuck them tho'
[02:13.52] Niggas can't come close enough to touch the dough
[02:16.14] The lifestyle I live is untouchable
[02:18.42] So we clutch a few, guns that'll touch your crew
[02:21.14] 'Cause we learned to do how the hustlers do
[02:23.49] To them niggas who get life and throw a smile at the judge
[02:26.00] Wildest thugs, who blow trial, exiled from the hood
[02:28.59] Keepin' bitches, comin' through on visits
[02:30.98] You will survive, them weak freaks think you finished
[02:33.46] You first time in, you known for poppin' your toast
[02:36.24] By your third year in you, forgotten by most
[02:38.80] Niggas' wife cut them out of they life, niggas don't write
[02:41.44] Friends actin' like they don't be gettin' your kites
[02:43.71] It be ill, niggas comin' home and no time to get killed
[02:47.19] Not even home a month and they get peeled
[02:49.35] Backwards in they own backyard or in the park
[02:52.12] One to the head, two to the heart, you should be smart in the projects
[02:55.33] Who gon' die next?
[02:56.44] Hoodrats know who let the gats blow and who keep cashflow
[02:59.59] Like the niggas know the rats, with some good asshole
[03:01.94] Blunts be a good-ass roll while passin' your 'dro
[03:04.49] Look way deep inside yourself
[03:06.64] Discover the diamond inside, find ya wealth
[03:09.05] And once you get it, you gotta live it the limit
[03:11.80] Niggas never wanna see you with it, fuck them tho'
[03:14.60] Niggas can't come close enough to touch the dough
[03:17.25] The lifestyle I live is untouchable
[03:19.65] So we clutch a few, guns that'll touch your crew
[03:22.32] 'Cause we learned to do how the hustlers do
[03:25.24] Feel me?
[03:29.86] One time, huh, two times, uh, uh, uh
[03:36.65] What, what, what? Uh, uh, uh
[03:39.86]
