Verse 1:
Who do you believe in
Money or God?
Story's always different
When there's money involved
A lot of things have changed
Since us people evolved
Our flat earth is where the universe
Used to revolve
We didn't use to have a church
Now, if you could recall
Back then things were different
You could resolve
All your problems with man
And your problems with God
Like I said, things are different
When there's money involved
Every dream is the same
Be it money or fame
Say it all from the chest
Like Blaze Daddy Kane
I ain't gotta get props
Just be glad that I came
Fuck money or my shot
I would rather get change
Is it money, is it God?
Would you rather explain?
Is it visible or not
In the tracks that I've slain?
Is it really in those verses
That those curses have stained?
This is proof that in this game
Few deserve to remain
Hook:
Lights, won't you take me away
Won't you take me back home
To the place where I stay
Take me somewhere I belong
I can't take all this pain
Every place is the same
Lights, take me home
Please take me
Verse 2:
Home
Where it wasn't like this
Where in my eyes
Real trouble didn't exist
Where we're told to do better
'stead of cease and desist
Where our preachers' only job
Is to teach and uplift
Where the good just gets better
Shit, what happened to that?
When it wasn't 'bout the records
Or the platinum plaques
We gotta do something
You can't just sit back and relax
It ain't just politics, I mean
Look what happened to rap
All your Grind Time Now
Ain't outlasting the Smack
My pen's poison like a fat dude
Holding a snack
You on check like a bad move
Holding you back
I ain't scared of no fronts
I'll one out you out back
You gotta join me, buck up
And make sure you Don't Flop
Ain't gotta be red hot
Just make sure you don't stop
You can still chase money
When you listen to God
And like I said, things are different
When there's money involved
Repeat hook
