Man, nigga (?) is tore up, knahmsayin?

[Daz]
It's another bad day in the hood
My clientele's doin small, my profits ain't nuttin good
Hit a couple licks (hit 'em up!) in a matter of seconds we rich
Now it's all about kimo bricks, and fresh toxics to get is in the mix
It ain't hard to tell my clientele by makin mayor
But fuck the cops and these feds tryin to take this rack to jail
Hop the gate (hit 'em up!) to get away, this pack ain't gon' catch us
And a undercover G, ahh, our plates is from Texas
Got the bombers, fuck the moto that niggaz never smoke
Got the weed that when you take a tote you gonna choke
Out of town, we put it down in a major way
Never knew or had a clue that we could make some major pay
Load up by Rucker's
Gettin step and never know who gon' get shady doin business
So we never slept in powder box and hot, snitches
And fiends, and cops, makin niggaz shit hot, so we relocate the spot
We got some bitches doin dirty work, outta down (?) the work
Come back wit our bread, break a nigga or some hands (BIATCH!)

When times get rough at times you know you can't trust no bitch
Keep my eye for them high, and a motherfucker tune it out

The lyrics to Dillinger's song "Money It a Lick" paint a vivid picture of the street life and the pursuit of wealth through illicit means. The song begins with an intro setting the scene of a dangerous environment where individuals are willing to do whatever it takes to get money, even if it means resorting to criminal activities. The mention of drugs, firearms, and evading law enforcement sets the tone for the rest of the song.
In the first verse, Daz reflects on the challenges of making a living in a tough neighborhood where profits are low and the stakes are high. He describes hitting quick robberies ("hit a couple licks") to make quick money and elevate his status in the illegal trade. The lyrics portray a sense of urgency and desperation as Daz navigates through a world filled with risks and betrayals, emphasizing the high value placed on money and material wealth.
The chorus sung by another voice stresses the central theme of the song: the relentless pursuit of money and the power it brings. The repetition of "It's all about the money, money, money, money" reinforces the idea that financial gain is the ultimate goal for those involved in shady dealings. Daz chimes in, emphasizing that money is essential for survival in this harsh environment, where opportunities are scarce and competition is fierce.
The second verse delves deeper into the lifestyle of luxury and excess that money can bring, with references to expensive homes, designer drugs, and lavish indulgences. Daz paints a picture of a high-rolling lifestyle filled with danger and intrigue, where loyalty is scarce and violence is a constant threat. The lyrics convey a sense of bravado and defiance as Daz navigates through a world where power and wealth can be obtained through ruthless determination and calculated risks.
In the outro, Daz delivers a stark warning about the harsh realities of the streets and the cutthroat nature of the game. He advises listeners to stay vigilant and cautious, as betrayal and danger lurk around every corner. The lyrics serve as a cautionary tale about the unforgiving world of money, power, and survival, where only the strong-willed and cunning can thrive. Overall, "Money It a Lick" offers a gritty and unapologetic depiction of the lengths individuals will go to in pursuit of wealth in a brutal urban landscape.
