作曲 : Erik Stephens/Marche' Black

When I watch TV

Then I see all them people and all them fine homes they live in

And all them nice cars, they drive

Then I get all full of ambition

You tell me what I'm supposed to do with all this ambition that I got

My mentality is money-orientated

I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it

Yo, paper chase the money

But never pray for money, only pray for wisdom

'Cause nobody can take that from you

You can always tell them niggas who ain't used to making money

'Cause them niggas annoying when they finally start making money

Y'all taking pictures of stacks, is that what y'all want me to see?

Y'all can count them stacks to this peak, that ain't no money to me

To make a hundred legally, that was my first big plan

I quit my job, then next week I made my first ten bands

Grew with niggas who use triggers just to stop the bullshit

You gon' need God to safe your life, 'cause the doctors couldn't

That tough shit don't mean nothing when they cock and pull it

Toughest nigga in the world still couldn't box a bullet

Yo, I got family that's behind walls and they caved down

Went in a Christian, now it's Allah when he praying now

That's when I realized that jail and death is where this money don't matter

Can't buy my way into heaven when he judging me after

My mentality is money-orientated

My mentality is money-orientated

My mentality is money-orientated

My mentality is money-orientated

I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it

Look, you say in God we trust

But I've seen God's people sell their souls for you

Good girls turned into strippers on poles for you

You're a poor man's dream but they tire you to evil

That's what Christ told disciples in the bible, they teach you

He tried to give advice to his people

Compared a rich man to a camel through a eye of a needle

You only live once, but if you live it right it's a sequel

I felt trapped but this money make my life feel like freedom

You put the clothes on my back with designer labels

First star meals, sitting at my plate you held me by the table

You felt like heaven on earth

It's hard to leave you but I got to 'cause my father gon' expect me in church

Granny said: "you can't grow money on trees from the earth"

But if you could then that explains why Eve bit it first

That's when I realized that jail and death is where this money don't matter

Can't buy my way into heaven when he come for the rapture

My mentality is money-orientated

My mentality is money-orientated

My mentality is money-orientated

My mentality is money-orientated

I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never mad
