Not for the Dough
Multicyde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just for the love
This is what we do
Advance above
Never meant to enter on this level
Pushin' more alliance than rebel
We break of heat from the mind piece
Opening your mind up on top reflections
Always rappin' straight from inside
Keep it on my mind
Illustrating up in time
How we living
Advance above
How we giving
Flick switches on the low
Don't be tripping
Got no time to be slipping in this industry
I grab myself by the neck
That ain't what it's supposed to be
But I can't handle more shit than any other
So I seek for peace under others
Cautiously fighting battles undercover
Not for the dough
Just for the love
This is what we do
Advance above
It's the magnificent wordsmith that never slip
And any rhyme I flip
Straight spitting realism on a vocal mission
Serve and protect
Always coming up word perfect
Plus I neglect
The jealousy in this industry
Instead I concentrate to be my true self
Put my dreams aside and stack them on the shelf
And move on
Advancing through my poetry
This his how I do how I live
You feel me?
Minus one for the money
Minus two for the hoes
Do my thing my own way got my own steelo
Wrap it up in genuine paper
Minus three
Can't hold more appointments for jealous enemies
The time has come
For all to stop clapping
Time to get it up
Time to cease the mind wrecking
Anyone or all can claim to be the illest
Let's come on out and see who can fulfill this
Not for the dough
Just for the love
This is what we do
Advance above
Not for the dough
Just for the love
This is what we do
Advance above
Multicyde we won't stop
Always got more gems to drop
As we're headed for the top
Advance above
We always strike correctly
And we always rhyme perfectly
This is how we're doing baby
Advance above
You wanna know why I'm enterprising
Why I keep on rising
Pretty simple
Palish stay appetising
Analysing how to bum-rush this industry
Finally found the recepy
You with me B?
No doubt
Then let's go all out for what it's worth
Down to earth
Distinguished gentlemen
Speak so you can understand
My way of rhyme kicking
My politicking
Always making sense
No need for two attempts to clear my mind
Writing rhymes
Painting pictures so you get the deal
Prolific is my trademark recognise the real
Every track every show advance above
Not for the dough
Just for the love
This is what we do
Advance above

The scene where Reodor pushes the gas pedal through the floor, and the speed indicator comes OUT of the speedometer honestly gives me goosebumps

One of the most epic races ever filmed, and it's a doll movie from the 70's...

The very film that inspired Christian Von Koenigsegg.
Yeah, the Koenigsegg.
