Read Full BioXavier Amin Dphrepaulezz (born 1968), better known by his stage name Fantastic Negrito, is an African-American singer-songwriter whose music spans blues, R&B, and roots music. Negrito made a record deal with Prince's former manager, and later, in 1993, made another deal, this one with Interscope Records. On January 9, 1996, he released his first album, The X Factor, under the mononym Xavier. The album was released on Lexington House Records and distributed by Interscope. He was in a near-fatal car crash in 1999, which left him in a coma for three weeks; he has since said that he felt that this crash "released" him because Interscope terminated their contract with him, after which he resumed hustling. In 2007, he stopped making music, but he returned in 2014, describing his new musical style as "black roots music for everyone". In 2015, he won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest. In 2016, his album The Last Days of Oakland was released on the Blackball Universe label. Negrito won his first Grammy in 2017, when The Last Days of Oakland received the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.

Nobody Makes Money
Fantastic Negrito Lyrics
(Money, money)
Oh god, there's money, looking for money
(Money, money)
Ain't nobody making money
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Ain't nobody making money (money, money), oh mon-
Ain't nobody making money (Money, money) like they did before
Please, please, more cheese
I need more green
Good lord I woke up thins morning (money, money)
To a rising river
Of food and gas prices (Money, money)
You know I started to shiver
Please, please, more cheese
I need more green
Then I tell you
You spend all your money on a useless education
I catch ya baby, I'm sorry
But now you're standing in line, feeling lil' frustration
My momma always told ya do the best that you can
Well mamma this is wage slavery
It's wage slavery, come on and get it now
Yeah
Ain't nobody making money (money, money)
They work all the time
All day and all night (money, money)
Lord it's a grind, grind, grind
Ain't nobody making money
It's so hard to find
Ain't nobody making money (money, money)
In the USA
I saiy they're big old corporation in (money, money) in the inner way
Bang bang, kill kill (bang bang, kill kill)
The feds will print more bills
I wanna tell you
You spend all your money on a useless education
You know you've got to
Now you're standing in line, feeling lil' frustration
I'mma tell ya
Mo-mo-momma always told ya do the best that you can
But momma this is wage slavery
It's wage slavery, come on and get it
(Instrument bridge + (backgroung Vocals))
(Money, money)
(Money, money)
(Money, money)
(Money, money) I say now, they're making money, no no no no no no no no no no more
(Money, money) they're working all the time
Ain't nobody making no more (money, money)
Ask why
You gotta believe in something, that's bigger than you (money, money)
That's bigger than you (money, money)
That's bigger than you
That's bigger than you
That's bigger than you
(Money, money)
