Lyrics

First you live then you die

What you give, what you earn

Did you make a sacrifice

Did you heal, did you burn


Did your family pay the price

For the sins that occurred

They say money makes the world spin

It still never turns


First you live, then you die

What you give, what you earn

Did you make a sacrifice

Did you heal, did you burn


Did your family pay that price

For the sins that occurred

They say money makes the world spin

It still never turns


Look

For the record and Holy Mecca

I'm blessed

The most precious commodity

I invest is my breath


And time is of the essence

I couldn't stress it erect

I'm at attention, full of ambition

Like what is next


It's like trying to find heaven

But dwell in the devil's steps

The Lord is my witness

The children cry when I wept


I've been all around the world

Seen angels, demons, and death

And still find the beauty in tragedies

And the hex


An all black community

Fuel the tools for success

And still ain't found no unity

After how we forget


If it wasn't for the labor

Before we jumped on them ships

The predecessor of our oppressor

Would not exist


Don't tell me it don't matter

Like it didn't effect the rift

Turn a ripple to a wave

Didn't even give slaves a chip


I'm hungry, haven't bathed

An ape with some Jay-Z lips

The hunger that I crave

Is taking it to the cliff

Like Simba up in his bitch nigga


First you live then you die

What you give, what you earn

Did you make a sacrifice

Did you heal, did you burn


Did your family pay the price

For the sins that occurred

They say money makes the world spin

It still never turns


First you live, then you die

What you give, what you earn

Did you make a sacrifice

Did you heal, did you burn


Did your family pay that price

For the sins that occurred

They say money makes the world spin

It still never turns


What's better than knowing yourself

Got a family to feed

And images to protect

Nurture the soil I'm on

Plant seeds, focus on health

Shower me with enough praise

To leave me soaking in milk


Honeybees in a tree

The tokens the Lord has kept

At your disposal

In an abundance


Order my steps

Out of control

Visit your honor

My soul can rest


Dearly departed

I beg your pardon

I'm fresh to death


How dare you have the audacity

To lack the respect

Everything you possess

You stole it

You want to bet


I don't feel a particular nation

Is chosen

But yet

It's obvious


The powers that be

See me as threat

They'll kill me for the way that I dress

I must confess


Even when the odds are against me

I recollect

Pay it forward

I can't afford to live in this debt


See I'm at war

Deep in my core

Battle myself

It's never too late for help


So I ask you


First you live then you die

What you give, what you earn

Did you make a sacrifice

Did you heal, did you burn


Did your family pay the price

For the sins that occurred

They say money makes the world spin

It still never turns


First you live, then you die

What you give, what you earn

Did you make a sacrifice

Did you heal, did you burn


Did your family pay that price

For the sins that occurred

They say money makes the world spin

It still never turns
