Jay Rock - M.O.N.E.Y. Lyrics






[Intro - J Black:]
They sell out, or buy in
Put their lives on the line and call it grinding
Without a second thought, now he's doing 5 or 10
Money talks, its murder for hire hear the sirens
You smell the envy in the air, everything is fair
This is war, street dreams are made, it's not a game

[Verse 1 - Jay Rock:]
Motivated by money, money is mesmerizing
Many are murdered for it while mayhem is exercising
Money is Morpheus, and might pay your mortgages
Plus the morgue got some more of it
That embalmment fluid merging through your muscles immortaless
Philosophy rules, if your mustard is mean then your material views
Will put a misery on the broke
Majority manifests, a mission before they mope
For math we do the most, observing the optimist, opposites do attract
Operation for evil, its obvious for attack
Obedience is a must but its hard to obey
When your optics ain't saying no opportunities pay
It might be over a dice game, might be over a new chain
Might be over an old bitch, or you owe someone old change
You open for open game, then open your ears
It's not an option it's an order you get shit clear about money!

[Hook - J Black:]
The things people do for the money
And you might just lose your soul
And some will give their whole life
For the money, yep for the money
Will you give your whole life, for the money, for the money

[Verse 2 - Jay Rock:]
The negatives are normal when you knee deep
When nice sins get stabbed with a knife in or shot with a nine
The neediest the nosiest, they always trying to be friends
And if you naive you should notice all the signs
They known to turn naughty, might gain notoriety
But your nemesis is lurking through the party
No exceptions, no time to exit
Your neighbours is near, now you hearing noises
Say you got a death wish, everything is everything
Well equity is evident, find yourself establishing
Etablishment executives, street entrepreneurs
Examined in they estimate, extracurricular drug activities the testament
Taste the work, excellent, fiends excersing dope
To the head estrogen, entertain I have a hope
Intertwined with cut throats, enter when you please
Keep your eyes open its easy to be deceived about money

[Hook]

Why the say money is the root of evil?
Because when you got too much of it here comes the root and evil
So tell me why money keeps you satisfied
Do it keep food on your table, do it keep you hell-a fly?
Why, why is money always on your mind?
Because the less fortunate don't have money all the time
Why money got niggas out there doing time?
Cause snitches getting paid for police to drop dimes
Why bitches set niggas up for the money?
Pussy'll get you killed nigga don't think its funny
Why niggas sell crack to they momma for the money?
Money will have you snitching while your family be hungry
And why envy a nigga who getting money
When you got the same opportunity to get it dummy, yeah
It's just a thought for your mental my nigga pay attention
Get rich or die trying just know you can't take it with you
I'm talking money!

[Hook x2]

  16. L.... A....

    In the beginning all his bars contain words that start with "M", then he changes them to words that start with'O', then 'N" etc....
    WOW FUCK.

  59. S.... A....

    Everyone on TDE got different styles of rapping, gotta love it, we have plenty to choose from so stop comparing them all and enjoy their music

  60. T.... C....

    They've made so much remixes with the whole group to songs but it just doesn't get much attention.....And yes recently.....

  61. K.... ....

    JAY ROCK!!!!!

  62. A.... A....

    jay rock gotta big deal hes to hood though he went and gave it all back on his gang bitches and guns. he had his time and didnt direct it right. kendrick signed a big deal and used it right he put it into everything he works for all new equipment and all good stuff thats the diff...

  63. R.... C....

    Kendrick is the only one signed to a major label

  64. M.... G....

    Not! Jay Rock is so underrated! He definitely deserves to be bigger!!!

  65. L.... C....

    Whoah Jrock keep doing your shit homie

  66. M.... ....

  67. C.... ....

    Can anyone thumbs down my comment please... People dont understand the relevance of the comment anymore pls smh

  68. M.... ....

    this is real ass spit

  69. J.... J....

    @CANNONakaHADDY Confusing As Shit For A Top Comment - RevMovEnt

  70. m.... m....

    Damn Rock!

  71. L.... G....

    Hey guys, you guys should try Firepa.com if you want to make money online! I am making over $3,000+ per month! Visit FIREPA.COM and start making money now! FIREPA.COM Is paying me and my wife $10.000 / Month

    The little reaction considers the impulse.

    The coal supports the long debt.

  72. A.... M....

    i dont agree, kendricks names just out there more then the rest of the boys , because he fucked with dr.dre, Jay rock n shit still fuckin kill it just more underground.

  73. C.... ....

    whole poin of the comment was to stop people from doing the pac + jay-z = Jay Rock thing ...

  74. H.... ....

    M.O.N.E.Y used each letter perfectly

  75. m.... ....

    i agree but its sorta hard to share the spot light when you drop the realest album of the year

  76. H.... D....

    none of them are on kendrick's level but they are all sick

  77. d.... ....

    i kinda wrote my message in a wrong way but i ment about the fans of kedrick and everyone in general need to open up to the rest of black hippy

  78. e.... ....

    Kendrick is a good dude. he gives the rest of TDE anything he can. Just because he is the most famous one doesnt mean he is "hogging" the spotlight.

  79. J.... E....

    damn sounds wierd lol , but yes his great !!!

  80. S.... M....

    jay rock rocks

  81. E.... ....

    That alliteration thing he did is incredibly amazing.

  82. a.... ....

    I just got why this track's called M.O.N.E.Y. Pretty ingenious

  83. N.... C....

    OMG MIND BLOWN !

  84. A.... R....

    Nigga sounding like Xzibit

  85. s.... ....

    the things people do for the money, so true. this song is real sh*t!

  86. K.... ....

    They all dope as fuck Kendrick ab-soul schoolboy q and Jay rock. Stop comparein

  87. G.... W....

    this be the realest shitz i ever heard since tupac spoke

  88. d.... ....

    i never really realised till after your comment. this dude is smart!

  89. G.... ....

    true say. in my eyes qs all around dope and my fav, soul speaks that mad hippy shit and jay speaks that real hood shit. but in a real style. I think theyre better much infact than Kendrick.

  90. a.... c....

    Happy birthday you 27years old post someting on you tube i wanna see how your birthday went love you

  91. c.... ....

    thats hard

  92. c.... ....

    for the money

  93. M.... ....

    In terms of skills, I say second, only becuase AB and Kendrick are tied in my opinion.

  94. M.... ....

    AB has a large-ish fanbase, but not as large as K.Dot though. That is what I want for him, Jay and Q, to end up being as large as K.Dot.

  95. v.... ....

    Ab has a pretty big fanbase.

  96. M.... ....

    I've been a Jay Rock fan since the beginning, and I don't care how he gets more publicity. Even if it comes through a fellow black hippy member. He is also probably happy for Kendrick fans coming to listen to the rest of Black Hippy, so I don't see why you are pissed. I'm stilling waiting for the same thing for the less commercial Kendrick Lamar, AB-Soul.

  97. M.... G....

    Jay Rock needs to make a track wit Kutt Calhoun. Strange Music!!
