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
