It's Nothing
Kool G Rap feat. Jo-Elle Ortiz Lyrics

Rhythm is my business
Music is how I make my living

And business is booming!
And I'm successful at it

Hand me nothing
Don't give me anything for free

I want nothing for free
I won't take anything for free

Hand me money
Give me money instead

It better be a handful
It better be a lot

Ya hand me money
If you give me money

I do nothing for free
I won't do anything without payment

If ya hand me money
If you give me money

You want something to see
Then you'll get to see something from me

We are a product of propaganda
Our beliefs and actions are influenced by the media

No more nice guy, you better off to drop your manners
Being too polite won't get you far in this world

She don't love you, she doing it for the camera
The woman in question doesn't truly care for you, she's just putting on a show

New car new crib this, the life we take for granted
We're so used to living lavishly that we don't appreciate what we have

I need my money, or I'm a cause a tantrum
I need payment for my work, or I'll throw a fit

Wake up 2 PM, have a glass of Tropicana
My daily routine involves sleeping in and drinking orange juice

You don't like me, my bars too hot to handle
If you don't like my music, it's because it's too intense for you

I hope my kids hate guns and play piano
I wish for my children to be peaceful and musically inclined

I can't get comfy
I can't feel at ease

In this country
In this society

I see is money and greed
All I see around me is materialism and selfishness

It all means nothing
None of it has any true value

If you don't believe
If you don't have faith
