Dirty Money

Cats look at me like I've changed
   Nah man I didn't forget that I started out in the weed game
   Until I figured out that legal money and dirty money buy the same things
   And what you for getting about them streets is
   The streets is a cold game
   Crab in the bucket saying cats don't wanna see you get out
   Or get more than them
   Nobody telling on the cat with nothing
   Snitching don't start until they see you getting something
   The dope game
   Finally came to the realization that legal money and dope money buy the same things
   Not worried about fame because that's not me on a day to day basis
   Try to stay low key anyways
   Don't need fake freinds anyways
   Old song lyrics put my way thought of getting paid many ways
   Finally figured out plenty ways
   Hardworking and freedom over jail time anyday
   Just making sure it's the legal way
   Best lesson learn legal money and dirty money buy the same things
