Money Trees
Jay Rock ft. Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

Me and my niggas tryna get it, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
My friends and I are working hard to achieve success, you know

Hit this house lick tell me is you with it, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
Are you willing to participate in this robbery?

Home invasion was persuasive (was persuasive, was persuasive)
Our home invasion plan was convincing and influential

From nine to five I know it's vacant, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
I know the house is empty from nine to five

Dreams of living life like rappers do (like rappers do, like rappers do)
We aspire to live a lavish lifestyle like famous rappers

Back when condom wrappers wasn't cool (they wasn't cool, they wasn't cool)
In the past, using condom wrappers was not considered trendy or popular

I fucked Sherane then went to tell my bros (tell my bros, tell my bros)
I had sexual intercourse with Sherane and then shared the experience with my friends

Then Usher Raymond 'Let it Burn' came on ('Let it Burn' came on, 'Let it Burn' came on)
Coincidentally, Usher Raymond's song 'Let it Burn' started playing

Hot sauce all in our Top Ramen, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
We added hot sauce to our Top Ramen noodles for flavor

Parked the car then we start rhyming, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
After parking the car, we began freestyle rapping

The only thing we had to free our mind (free our mind, free our mind)
Rapping was the only thing that allowed us to escape and express ourselves

Then freeze that verse when we see dollar signs (dollar signs, dollar signs)
We would stop rapping when we saw opportunities to make money

You looking like an easy come up, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
You appear to be someone who can be easily taken advantage of

A silver spoon I know you come from, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
You come from a privileged background

And that's a lifestyle that we never knew (we never knew, we never knew)
We have never experienced or lived that kind of lifestyle

Go at a reverend for the revenue
We are willing to do whatever it takes, even confront a reverend, to make money

It go Halle Berry or hallelujah
Either we get lucky and find success like Halle Berry or we praise the Lord for blessings

Pick your poison tell me what you do
Choose your path and let me know what you decide

Everybody gon' respect the shooter
Everyone will show respect to the one holding the gun

But the one in front of the gun lives forever (the one in front of the gun forever)
The person facing the gun is more likely to die and be remembered

And I been hustlin' all day, this a way, that a way
I have been working hard all day, going in different directions

Through canals and alleyways, just to say
Navigating through various routes and paths to express myself

Money trees is the perfect place for shade and that's just how I feel (now, now)
Money can provide comfort and security, which is how I currently perceive it

A dollar might, just fuck your main bitch that's just how I feel (now)
Money has the power to seduce and attract your significant other

A dollar might, say fuck them niggas that you came with that's just how I feel (now, now)
Money can make you betray or disregard the people you used to associate with

A dollar might, just make that lane switch that's just how I feel (now)
Money can lead you to change your path or priorities

A dollar might, turn to a million and we all rich that's just how I feel
Money has the potential to multiply and bring wealth to everyone involved

Bump that new E-40 at the school (way at the school, way at the school)
Listening to the latest E-40 song while hanging out at the school

You know big ballin' with my homies (my homies)
Showing off and enjoying a luxurious lifestyle with my friends

Earl Stevens had us thinking rational (Thinking rational, that's rational)
Listening to Earl Stevens (E-40) made us think more logically and sensibly

Back to reality we poor, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
In reality, we are poor and lacking wealth, you know

Another casualty at war, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
Another person affected negatively by our environment and circumstances

Two bullets in my uncle Tony head (my Tony head, my Tony head)
My uncle Tony was shot twice in the head

He said one day I'd be on tour, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
My uncle Tony believed I would become successful and go on tour

That Louis Burger never be the same (won't be the same, won't be the same)
The Louis Burger restaurant will never be the same after the incident

A louis belt will never ease that pain (won't ease that pain, won't ease that pain)
Even a Louis Vuitton belt won't provide comfort or alleviate the pain

But I'ma purchase when that day is jerkin' (That day is jerkin', day is jerkin')
But I'll buy one when I have the money, when that day arrives

Pull off at Church's with Pirelli's skirtin' (Pirelli's skirtin', Pirelli's skirtin')
Drive away quickly from Church's Chicken restaurant with Pirelli tires screeching

Gang signs out the window, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
Displaying gang signs out of the car window, you know

Hoping all of 'em offend you, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
Wishing that the gang signs seen would provoke and upset you

They say your hood is a pot of gold (a pot of gold, a pot of gold)
They say your neighborhood is a place with a lot of money and opportunities

And we gone crash it when nobodies home
And we'll take advantage of it when nobody is around

Be the last one out to get this dough? No way
Am I going to be the slowest in obtaining money? No, that's not happening

Love one of you bucket-headed hoes? No way
Am I going to fall in love with any of you promiscuous women? No, definitely not

Hit the streets, then we break the code? No way
Are we going to break the rules of the streets? No, that's not happening

Hit the brakes, when they on patrol? No way
Am I going to slow down when the police are on patrol? No, I won't

Imagine Rock up in the projects where them niggas pick your pockets
Imagine Jay Rock in the low-income housing area where people try to steal from you

Santa Claus don't miss them stockings, liquor spilling pistols popping
People in the projects don't miss the opportunity to steal, drink alcohol, and engage in violence

Baking soda YOLA whipping, ain't no turkey on Thanksgiving
Cooking drugs with baking soda, referring to the hustle, and acknowledging the lack of traditional Thanksgiving celebrations

My homeboy just domed a nigga, I just hope the Lord forgive him
My friend just shot someone in the head, I hope God grants him forgiveness

Pots with cocaine residue, everyday I'm hustlin'
Pots with traces of cocaine, I am hustling and working hard every day

What else is a thug to do when you eatin' cheese from the government?
What else can a person involved in criminal activities do when they are relying on government aid to survive?

Gotta provide for my daughter 'n' 'em, get the fuck up out my way, bitch
I have to provide for my daughter and the rest of my family, so get out of my way

Got that drum and got them bands just like a parade, bitch
I have a gun and a lot of money, just like a parade showcasing musicians and performers

Drop that work up in the bushes, hope them boys don't see my stash
Hiding the drugs in the bushes, hoping the police don't find my stash

If they do tell the truth, this the last time you might see my ass
If the police find me, it might be the end of my freedom

From the gardens where the grass ain't cut, them serpents lurking blood
Referring to dangerous neighborhoods where danger is present

Bitches selling pussy, niggas selling drugs but it's all good
Prostitutes are selling sex, and drug dealers are selling drugs, but it's considered normal and acceptable

Broken promises, steal yo' watch and tell you what time it is
People will break their promises and steal your belongings without hesitation

Take your J's and tell you to kick it where a footlocker is
Taking your valuable Air Jordan shoes and telling you to go to a shoe store

In the streets with a heater under my dungarees
Walking in the streets with a gun hidden under my jeans

Dreams of me getting shaded under a money tree
Dreaming of finding shelter and financial security under a tree that grows money

Kendrick, just bring my car back, man
Kendrick, please return my car to me

I called in for another appointment
I made another request or arrangement

I figured you weren't gonna be back here on time anyways
I assumed you would be late, as always

Look, shit, shit
Expressing frustration or annoyance

I just wanna get out the house, man
I just want to leave the house and go somewhere else

This man is on one, he feelin' good as a motherfucker
This person is intoxicated or under the influence of drugs and feeling extremely happy

Shit, I'm tryna get my thing goin', too
I'm also trying to pursue my own goals and ambitions

I'm going to Marilyn house, just bring my car back
I'm going to Marilyn's house, so please return my car to me

Shit, he faded
He is intoxicated or under the influence of drugs

He feelin' good
He is experiencing intense happiness or pleasure

Look, listen to him! ('cause you got a big ol' fat ass)
Look, listen to him! (referring to a line from a song, possibly admiring someone's physical appearance)

Girl, girl, I want your body, I want your body, 'cause of that big ol' fat ass
Expressing attraction and desire for someone's body due to their curvaceous figure

See, he high as hell
He is extremely intoxicated or high on drugs

Shit, he ain't even trippin' off them damn dominoes no more
He is no longer concerned or bothered by the game of dominoes

Just bring the car back! Did somebody say dominoes?
Just return the car to me! Did someone mention the game of dominoes?
