don't let money change ya!
this is a story of a kid his name is cisko
who made more money than the count of monte crisco
he lived a lavish style of life
and he liked to frequent bars pubs and discos
made his living as a world famous rap star
when he first started mic respect's what he was af-ter
and so he got inside his mind
constantly his art and craft he'd try to mas-ter
started winnin local battles and his rep grew
gave his crew a reputation as the best crew
and what life would do to him
all the cards that was hard
stress relief would be his refuge
then he quit his nine to five
when he signed a major label record contract
don't let money change ya!
his first single was a overnight success hit
and now he went from wearing rags to the best fits
to the point where he lost proper perspective
started cuttin off the people he came up wit
ego blown like his soul had been ab-ducted
though his heart was once real
and he couldn't get enough of it
used to wanna be the best of the rap dons
now his only one concern is goin plati-num
and his skills has since decreased
and the inner hunger ceased
just as long as fame and cash come
thousand dollar shoppin sprees
drinkin out the 40 bottle
don't let money change ya!
second time around everything isn't stable as
now he's lookin for the same hit
his rhymes ain't appealin
and his records ain't sellin shit
now he's dropped from his label
tried the underground return
and the same faces that he dissed
laughed as they watched him do the downstroke
now the moral of the story is that some go
why would money make the inner vision crumble?
so if you're blessed with the talent
utilize it to the fullest
be true to yourself and stay humble
don't let money change ya!
don't let money change ya!
don't let money change ya!
don't let money change ya!
