Time and Money ft. Dris Lyrics

They say the music comes natural if you, get out the way

But real life be getting in the the way

They say the music comes natural if you, get out the way

But real life be getting in the the way

Sometimes the words don't come as easily as I would like'em to

Be waiting on'em for months, meanwhile the lights is due

But then the wife is due, kids need shoes, fridge needs food

So I'm in the streets with these fools

I know the common man can understand

Life is what happens to you while you tryna make these other plans

That's what Lennon said, no time to write it down

I pen it in my head, dinner fed, then I'm in the bed

Early rise to go and dive in the deep end

Trying not to drown while I'm funding my weekends

And brothers know it's a juggling act

I'm not a Juggalo, but dealing with these clowns tryna rap

I ain't got alotta rap, I just keep to myself, silent dude

Living in the sticks, enjoy the solitude

That's what I'ma do, keep pushing if you can relate

Yeah I fell 7 times, still I'm getting up 8

They say the music comes natural if you, get out the way

But real life be getting in the the way

I'm busy juggling time and money, and ain't got enough of either

Trading one for the other while I'm tryna catch a breather

They say the music comes natural if you, get out the way

But real life be getting in the the way

I'm busy juggling time and money, and ain't got enough of either

Trading one for the other while I'm tryna catch a breather

See I don't know how many times I told my lady I'ma make it girl

I must've lost focus doing concentration curls

On the treadmills talking bout I'm making moves

Running in place, going broke, paying dues

In the studios, yelling out 'record this fresh shit'

The more investment though, the more risk

Da bul pissed? nah this ain't no ice grilly

I ain't angry man, I'm just from Philly

We all look like this

Just letting you know a brotha here and he try y'all

But people got too many options for their ears and eyeballs

So I don't judg'em when they don't come out

See everybody fighting a battle you know nothing about

Me too, came a long way from gettin' this thing working

Recording in ghetto cribs with smoke detectors chirping

In the background, that's all I had the budget for

Once I stopped tryna do it for a living I started to love it more

They say the music comes natural if you, get out the way

But real life be getting in the the way

I'm busy juggling time and money, and ain't got enough of either

Trading one for the other while I'm tryna catch a breather

They say the music comes natural if you, get out the way

But real life be getting in the the way

I'm busy juggling time and money, and ain't got enough of either

Trading one for the other while I'm tryna catch a breather

Listen,

One wife, one crib, two cars, three kids

All that come first before daddy can live

Early mornings, late nights, midnight sessions

Red eye flights across the globe homie that's my life

Ducking cops tryna dead mine

The hood been on what y'all reading in these headlines

I pray I survive, to tuck my son at bedtime, daily

Memorize my lawyers jack in case the system fail me

Keep money in the tuck in case she gotta bail me

But my steps are ordered so I ain't worried about these corners

I'm out here, gettin' this money crossing these borders

Hopping all obstacles from tallest to shortest

I digs in so my youngins' can stand on my shoulders

Go further than I ever could, struggling ain't never good

Teaching my boys to be chumps, something I never would

Around suckers, I never stood

Feel me?

They say the music comes natural if you, get out the way

But real life be getting in the the way

I'm busy juggling time and money, and ain't got enough of either

Trading one for the other while I'm tryna catch a breather

They say the music comes natural if you, get out the way

But real life be getting in the the way

I'm busy juggling time and money, and ain't got enough of either

Trading one for the other while I'm tryna catch a breather
