lyrics

That's what it is.
That's what it is.
That's what it is.
This is how we live.

Welcome to the world of wads in wide wallets.
Fine tailored suits minimized inside closets.
Goods in the market. Insiders trade gossip.
Profits. Sown up holes inside pockets.
Torn up clothes only worn when in the garden.
Home grown veggies & fruits. We home farming.
Live for tomorrow. Seeing cheese on the waffles.
Hustle for the day to the beat of a congo.
When the rain hits investments are the poncho.
Past training days way worst than Alonzo's.
Mid-city condos over look where the lawn grows.
Money, power, respect. You know how the song goes.
Flood the streets like Starbucks, McDonalds.
Celebrate wins. Dressed plates with cilantro.
Shipping out orders. This is overseas cargo.
Bosses on a move just carving out a parcel.

That's what it is.
That's what it is.
That's what it is.
This is how we live.

Invest in the hood like Colt 45.
Working out a plan for my people to survive.
Whole city with me. Backed like hard drives.
Multiply the product and the problems will divide.
Beautiful sums to secure liberation.
Service with a purpose. Its a hustle graduation.
Went to Africa installed water filtrations.
Mutual funds. We do business on vacation.
Online sales. We do business while we're sleeping.
Robin Hood scheming for all the right reasons.
We pound the cement. Rarely put leave in.
5 to 9 grind gave me something to believe in.
9 to 5 grind had the food for the feasting.
Luke reached success way before I could conceive it.
Amos Wilson. Blueprint for black power.
7 incomes when the sweet goes sour.

That's what it is.
That's what it is.
That's what it is.
This is how we live.
