Текст Nappy Roots – The People
Текст:
The money means nothing
My people mean everything
Promise when I got little more money that I would never change
Clutch is still the same
And I kept my promise
I kept my people first
My friends and my family
Ya’ll helped make a man of me
When I was down and out
Ya’ll lent a helping hand to me
So I’m returning the favor
And I’m passing it forward
Adversity, don’t run away from it run towards it
Face it embrace it
I promise you could make it
The time spent with your family you should keep that sacred
It’s worth more than any amount of money
So I would never let the money snatch that from me
When people get money and they start acting funny
It’s that money make they world you see
But see if I get some, we all getting something
Cause money ain’t the world to me
I do it for the people
the people
the people
Cause money ain’t the world to me
The people
the people
the people
Daddy was a garbage man
Momma worked real hard
Me I’m a common man
?????
?Smartest I’ll admit it?
Didn’t have a million dollars
Only thing he said to me
What don’t kill you make you stronger
Humble begging
Make some sweeter endings
Look at Oprah Winfrey, Tupac, and John Lennon
They all set goals
What’s your next move
Now we have a good president what you gonna do
Be a better man
Lend a friend a hand
Grow spiritually
Help out your community
It’s the love in mama’s cooking
That make it taste good
It’s the people not the money
That makes the neighborhood
When people get money and they start acting funny
It’s that money make they world you see
But see if I get some, we all getting something
Cause money ain’t the world to me
I do it for the people
the people
the people
Cause money ain’t the world to me
The people
the people
the people
Cause money ain’t the world to me
You see I do it for the love
Sometimes I do it just because
For some reasons I can’t explain
I didn’t do for the bucks
See Nappy Roots is a movement in that
It hovers a class above
The average and the obvious
?????
We struggle from time to time
And did the opposite of an optimist
But hard work pays off
I’m living proof and promising this
Educate yourself so when you finally see some dollars and cents
It won’t go poof as soon as you make it
It’ll make it to your grandchildren’s kids
Cause they are the future
We are the one that damaging it
Abusing these opportunities with pollutions and contaminates
And it don’t make any damn sense
Cause this movie doesn’t have a sequel
If you don’t do for you and your kids then
Do it for the rest of the people
When people get money and they start acting funny
It’s that money make they world you see
But see if I get some, we all getting something
Cause money ain’t the world to me
I do it for the people
the people
the people
Cause money ain’t the world to me
The people
the people
the people
Cause money ain’t the world to me
