The Dough - Prodigy

Yeah yeah…

You know we always gonna come through

Not playing no games or whatever

Yeah yeah, that’s right

Yo I’m up 4 in the morning making some new shit

I just keep going and going when everybody quit

I don’t stop I’m a fiend, way more than Rakim

It’s not the mic that I like, it’s the song when it’s finished

Niggas can’t seem to rock it, but I be in the pocket

Your rap doesn’t flow with the beat, you need to stop it

They buying into my story because my shit real

You never do what you say, that’s why you don’t sell

I ain’t beefing on a record, somebody gonna die

And you can beef about it when you read about in the Times

Ain’t no bullshitting nigga I’m a rare species

Every ten years they make a nigga like P'

Imma slow it down, so you can hear me out

And really really listen and see what I’m about

You feel me on the right, you feel my on the left

They feel me in the back…

It’s all about the dough, that’s how we stay alive

I like to see you try to eat and you ain’t got a dime

It’s all about the dough, that’s how we stay alive

I like to see you try to eat and you ain’t got a dime

All I do is wake up and make hits

At 15 I mastered the 16 bars, with some henny and a spliff

Now you can’t tell me shit

Give me one hour with a dope ass beat, and I’ll show you how to spit

You ain’t got no war stories, nigga you ain’t got shit

Because we ain’t trying to hear your little songs for the chicks

And that bitch want it hard not a RnB thug

She like it real rough, nigga you the sweet stuff

Ha, cream puff nigga, I need you

So they can tell the difference between me and you

Yo I wake up every morning and I write a new smash

I don’t do this for the radio I do this for the fans

Do it for the block

This is for my niggas that’s locked up in a box

In the maxi max, that’s the penitentiary

My pen will never cease

Shit my pops gave ten years, to the federales

From Georgia to Cali, He broke out of L. A County

With the cuffs on, my pops was rowdy

Then caught him out in San Jose, you know the bounties

If you can see me now, living like the sallies

Imma slow it down, so you can hear me out

And really really listen and see what I’m about

You feel me on the right, you feel my on the left

They feel me in the back…

It’s all about the dough, that’s how we stay alive

I like to see you try to eat and you ain’t got a dime

It’s all about the dough, that’s how we stay alive

I like to see you try to eat and you ain’t got a dime

Yo we gonna get this money real quick

Fuck what you talking about…
