Cash Rules

Produced by Happy Perez

I guess the cash rules everything around me

I need to change my ways

I've been trying but I need to change my ways

I guess the cash rules everything around me

I need to change my ways

I've been trying but I need to change my ways

Half of the time, I don't know where I'm at, I'll be tripping and shit

I'm not famous or unknown but this can get to you quick

I'll sip on a little alcohol and I'll be dabbling on some drugs

I'm not telling you what to do, but if you haven't then trust

Don't do it, shit'll get you ****ed up

Or have you feeling numb once and you be falling in love

Aww man, you mean I don't gotta feel no more?

You mean I can live in my head, dreams won't get killed no more?

I can erase whatever happened and I don't gotta deal no more?

I mean you can, but then you're back and shit ain't real no more

You gotta backtrack and shit, go back to where you left it all

Thought you left it all, but nope, this shit will get you lost

Now you're right back but more depressed than when you left

You gotta 'fess to the bullshit feelings of emptiness

And now you're tripping, everyone thinking that you're okay

But now you're slipping, late nights you laying in your bed

And you start thinking, how the **** am I gonna matter?

I wanna change but I need change, so I'm making my pockets fatter

Cause the cash rules everything aroound

I guess the cash rules everything around me

I need to change my ways

I been trying but I need to change my ways

I guess the cash rules everything around me

I need to change my ways

I been trying but I need to change my ways

What are we even here for?

My generation is lame, so you start like

Dear Lord, please help me to get some change

I need some cash, I need it fast, I need a job that I like

Imma need someone on my bed that'll make me feel it's alright

These negative thoughts in my head that be making me think twice

About everything I'm doing when I'm just trying to do right

Going up like elevators, cause Andre used to talk to me

But he's been gone lately, so I be looking for him constantly

I need some Lauryn, Pun, Pac, and some Eminem

I need some artists that I can listen to like way back when

I need a lot, ****, I need peace of mind

And you only get that with accounts with a couple G's aside

For this empathy inside, cause I know we all need

Artists need to humanize, cause I know we all bleed

And I know I can't cop half the shit that rappers nowadays get

But I kinda be thinking that Imma need to help this generation

I guess the cash rules everything around me

I need to change my ways

I been trying but I need to change my ways

I guess the cash rules everything around me

I need to change my ways

I been trying but I need to change my ways
