The Root of All DJ Premier (Ft. Lil Wayne & Slick Rick)

[Intro]
You know this ain't a game to us

[Chorus: Slick Rick]
My future's lookin' promisin'
Problem with my mom again, troublin'
Money thinks it's runnin' things
When no income isn't comin' in
Runnin' with the wrong again
Gone again, money

[Verse 1: Slick Rick]
I keep sendin' cash demeanor
Got it, workin' for it meaner
Puts a hurtin' on a senior
Have to curtain, cook and pee on
Did I stutter? It's root of all, boo, all you loyal to it, useless
Bruise tryna do vocal, lose no one
I still pull him out a grave
Tryna play, chap? Okay
Dust him off, nobody's touchin' us and rush him off
Loose lips, Rick dances with wolf, kid
Elusive, arrange is the new black, I move past
Like, "Dress me like some baby George Clinton," what's he thinkin'?
Stackin' the deck, ain't attractin' a chick, ain't backin' up shit
Control money, don't let it show money
Soul money, never let it go from me, cold, homie
Suede, linen, ain't decay, pray when I'm A in 'em
Stay with him, told to play, ageism
"Variety makes good society," I said this
Respect, kid
Excessive makes me question my ethics
Though cash has no moral comp', showin' some
Flow is don, know it's wrong, throw it from, showin' some
Home, sweet home
