Religion

[Intro][Jim Jones]

Some sort of a desperation some said

It was like the money caught a hold of us and..

And we didn't have no other choice and when we couldn't get it

It was like we would choose to rob and steal...or some of us would kill

But this is what this life is about

And we still going through it everyday...shit

[Jim Jones]

This is agriculture

I get cash with vultures

The chain is frozen

The glassy sculptures

The fastest culture

From young I had a ulcer

When I was povertated and hungry couldn't hardly make it

Now the homes we buy and we got cars to play with

And we roam the sky like gods our favorite

And I'm clearer than your blu-ray

Ahead you like a toupee

All the sneaky hatin

Keep debatin, I'll end you like today

Will eat you like souflette

Zoowoo...Eastside

[Chorus]

First million dollars

Ran right through it

What wha-what wha-what

Still going through it

3 million 4 million

Ran right through it

What wha-what wha-what

Still going through it

9 million 10 million

Niggas might lose it

What wha-what wha-what

Still going throught it

Hit 20 M's life might change

But this is why we play the game

[Jim Jones]

The desperation it had us going crazy

Bread we chasin breakin' fast on the daily

Old heads said you livin' fast like 80's

I said for me it was the 90's

I guess the 90's was my 80's

Shit..got a thing for them fine ladies

Pretty foreign whips make me get up on my shit..shit

Pardon my french but I talk slick diggy

Meet me at the event, New Yorks the big city

Yall make movies we make the documentaries

Yours truly left the jeweler dropped a century

Huh..I told the dealer drop the Bentley

GT see'em the G's we being

Its he who be in

The V's no key in

The money the is the reason we keep tans off season

Peel off speedin'

Hand on freezin'

Blunt up in my mouth

Keep the handle out the reach'em

[Chorus]

First million dollars

Ran right through it

What wha-what wha-what

Still going through it

3 million 4 million

Ran right through it

What wha-what wha-what

Still going through it

9 million 10 million

Niggas might lose it

What wha-what wha-what

Still going throught it

Hit 20 M's life might change

But this is why we play the game

[Jim Jones]

Lord knows it ain't easy being Jimmy

Speedin' up in Harlem while I'm leanin in the Bentley

Niggas think i'm ballin watchin niggas schemeing

I hear these bitches callin' but they just like niggas schemeing

They just plottin' on another man riches

I smothered up the wrist's rubberband on the digits

The paranoia stay wit' a roast up on ya'

Don't jump in the game without a lawyer

Avoid police contact but please keep in contact

No straight lines only use the bleep as contact

Dip the bag money like we hypocondriacs

And i'm washing up this paper like I got a laundry

Is what raised us some niggas praised us

Some beg to differ cause the street is what made us

V's came in flavors

The heat was our saviour

The ice was all blue

But my niggas is zoowoo

[Chorus]

First million dollars

Ran right through it

What wha-what wha-what

Still going through it

3 million 4 million

Ran right through it

What wha-what wha-what

Still going through it

9 million 10 million

Niggas might lose it

What wha-what wha-what

Still going throught it

Hit 20 M's life might change

But this is why we play the game

[Outro]

See this is why we play the game the MONEY

Like I was saying before it was sort of infectious

It was like uh..it got grab of us and we couldn't let go

So now we stuck between a rock and a hard place

They tellin' us to keep hope but

But where's the hope at when we couldn't get a job..so

We look at the drug dealers and the one's to look up to

Those were our inspiration so

We saw the fast cars, and the pretty bitches and the jewels and that was all we knew

See we was naive to the fact of real life until..until well until the streets came

And now still the same game we chasin'

Ain't that a bitch...don't marry her
