Money Make You Change

Quincy Tellem

They say that money make you change (mm)

Money make you change (yeah)

It's like, how could I be the same? (Mm)

Could I be the same? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I done went through war and the pain

War and the pain-ain-ain

In my hood, you know it's pouring with rain (yeah)

It's pouring with rain (yeah, yeah)

I grew up on some niggas

Blew up the figures

Had to leave couple bitches

I was bumpin' taxis with my brothers

Sleepin' with the fiends in the bandos, had no covers

I was ridin' shotty with my bro

No destination, we had nowhere left to go, mm

You know the devil's tryna bargain for my soul, ooh

Miss all my niggas doing time, I handle woes

All these psychedelics help me concentrate

My niggas, we dominate

Powers when we congregate

Haters, they be contemplate

Bitch, go take a coffee break

Freedom getting confiscated

Destined for this shit, you know how long I waited?

Starting from the bottom, shit gets so frustrating (yeah, yeah)

You know I was patient for my time (ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

Had to leave the struggles behind

They say that money make you change (mm)

Money make you change (yeah)

It's like, how could I be the same? (Mm)

Could I be the same? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I done went through war and the pain

War and the pain-ain-ain

In my hood, you know it's pouring with rain (yeah)

It's pouring with rain (yeah, yeah)

In the Wraith, cuttin' through my hood, I'm eatin' Maccy D's

My friend died, I bought some R's, my heart was on my sleeve

Gotta leave the hood even though it's never leavin' me

And I hope Stephen Lawrence's killers get killed or die in their sleep

Frostbite, I remember corners, I didn't have no ice

Come tonight and please me, baby, man, it's polite

One bag, get the kitty's friend through a new bag

I was young and now I buy whips I do not drive

Did a mazza once in Luton, call Nafe after the show

If you feel a way, tell bro, do not let that feeling grow

Bet you didn't know there was a booting at "Fine Wine" video

Bet you didn't know 'cause it's plain that it's a Burberry coat

Love me for me so I can give you what you need

When the smoke clears, come and tell me what you see

Mm-mm, I'm the same old me

Got me 'cause you ain't a stranger, you ain't strange to me

They say that money make you change (mm)

Money make you change (yeah)

It's like, how could I be the same? (Mm)

Could I be the same? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I done went through war and the pain

War and the pain-ain-ain

In my hood, you know it's pouring with rain (yeah)

It's pouring with rain (yeah, yeah)

Sittin' here, I contemplate

Baby, have a little faith

Times are really gettin' hard

Time to grab another plate then (plate then)

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

Smoke my sorrows, everything's in slow-mo

For success, I had to sacrifice a lot of time

Five up in the boot

I'm dunkin' with these Jordan 5's on my feet (on my feet)

Tired of duckin' from police, shit

Waiting for the day I go legit, woah

Had to let that bitch go 'cause she lied to me

Heart's ice cold so I froze up my sleeves

They say that money makes a change

And it should never make you change

But that can never be the case

Yeah, Cali got me fucked off my face

If you got me, then I got you, touché, uh

Hittin' hard like I'm Bobby Boucher

Water on me like it poured rain

All it did was make a change

They say that money make you change (ayy, ayy)

Money make you change (yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's like, how could I be the same? (Quincy Tellem) (How could I?)

Could I be the same? (How could I be the same?)

I done went through war and the pain (I went through war and the motherfuckin' pain)

War and the pain-ain-ain

In my hood, you know it's pouring with rain (Quincy Tellem)

It's pouring with rain (woah, woah)

They say that money make you change

Mm, they say that money make you change
