B-Eazy — Greed & Green lyrics

Lyrics

Since I was 9, I payed no mind/
And never voted for The President/
But since 10? Shit, Ben Franklin been my best friend!/
Jackson was my cousin/
Grant got me through thick & thin/
Washington & Lincoln kind of grew distant/
Heard little from my Uncle Hamilton/
He was a noble man/
Huh shit, we were the coldest fam!/
Deep in the pockets of every older man/
Younger boy, girl or child/
Took trips overseas, so we worldwide!/
Over there, they call us greenbacks/
But here, we call us dollars, funds/
Get your hands up if you got some (Holla!)/
Under criticism by some scholars/
They say our attraction to those who want cash/
Only lead to more problems/
Serious ones! People lose they life over paper/
If we get in the wrong hands/
See ya later, alligator!/
Tell me, now would you kill for a stack of new bills/
Take a cruise around the world & chill?/
Think about it…
Greed will have you do strange things/
It’ll make you turn against your fam/
Using mischievous deeds for…/
Green which they say is the root of all evil/
Yet rules everything around me/
And even some people succumb to…/
Greed will have you do strange things/
It’ll make you turn against your fam/
Using mischievous deeds for…/
Green which they say is the root of all evil/
Yet rules everything around me/
And even some people that I know!
Some of y’all niggas got a fetish/
Like them fiends on the curb/
Steady scheming on herb/
A week later, already screaming for work/
Look I done seen & heard/
Some of you squeamish birds/
Fiending for everything I bring to the burbs!/
Watching me with your eagle eye/
Peripheral vision, I see you evil guys/
Don’t worry, everything’s legalized/
Don’t worry, I got them 9's for ya/
Pines for ya, just so your moms know your gone/
So long, niggas been greedy for the throne/
Wack rappers leave me alone/
I’m something you can’t condone/
Slam niggas down like bones/
To the fact they can’t come home/
I done loaned my style to many of you petty amateurs/
I ain’t gone say your style is bad/
I’m just a little better than yours!/
So hold your head to the floor/
Your rhymes I read 'em before!/
But damn, just understand I come to settle the score!/
Look I won’t dog out the needy/
Like fat niggas, you greedy/
In fact, I think y’all niggas just need me!/
Greed will have you do strange things/
It’ll make you turn against your fam/
Using mischievous deeds for…/
Green which they say is the root of all evil/
Yet rules everything around me/
And even some people succumb to…/
Greed will have you do strange things/
It’ll make you turn against your fam/
Using mischievous deeds for…/
Green which they say is the root of all evil/
Yet rules everything around me/
And even some people that I know!
And that’s real! They always say keep your friends close & keep your enemies
even closer! Uh, cuz you know any type of success breeds envy: The Power of The
Dollar. Greed & Green. B-Eazy. Barge House. Yes sir!
