Yeah, look, I used to chase the rewards, nowadays

I feel rewarded by the chase, huh, funny how that works

Guess I had it backwards

A lesson to be learned in everything I'm striving

After back when I would want it faster

Shift it into second gear, had to make the message clear

Did it on my own, blood and sweat, tears, never fear

Y'all was never here, you was just some jealous peers

Always in the game, playin' Snake like Metal Gear

I can polish off an Everclear, top it off with seven beers

Still don't trust nobody else to ever steer

I'm the only person that would never veer

Hopped by in a van, watch it go, Van Gogh, how they lend an ear?

Yeah, shout out to the day ones (Woah!)

Look, shout out to the real ones (Woah!)

Yeah, shout out to the fake ones

I learned a lot from my enemies, so I keep 'em close

They show me what I shouldn't do, so I'm keepin' notes

One thing I'm noticing, a common thread between the foes

Money over morals, it seems that's where the evil grows

Don't get me wrong, go get the money, you need a home

But when it's all you think about

You predisposed to a life where

You tryna make the deepest hole

Keep on getting farther, but the light never seems to show

Thought the seeds would grow

But it decomposes

In the red, getting split like the sea of Moses

Greed is hopeless, we learned it from the Greek and Romans

Feed the homeless, and reach atonement, 'cause it

Delay my satisfaction

Manifest versus action, I'm barely scratching the surface

'Cause what you know just a fraction

They tryna disturb my peace like I got an Atlanta accent

Say the money's the root of evil, but tell me

What's evil backwards? (Erm)

Yeah, tell me, what's evil backwards?

Sometimes, change your perspective

Will give you a different action

I told you boys that I'd do it

You simply watching it happen

The bases loaded, I'm batting

I'm drivin' slow in the fast one

I'm prayin' to the Almighty Jehovah-Jireh

That one

Gotta keep my composure

People say anything behind closed doors for exposure

Sometimes seekin' closure can open up a can of worms

With all the dirt I'm doing

Swear they prolly just gon' keep on growin'

Don't listen to Connor when he says it's not about the money

'Cause let's be real

You know he got a lotta money

But I get it, it's not the end goal

It's really just the asset

The vehicle to get to where you didn't go

And get to where you get to grow

And money'll magnify what you been on

So if you lame and get rich, you gon be—

Man, you get it, bro

Do this for the clique, if I'm going

Then they coming too

You might throw up at the budgets

That I'm runnin' through

I used to chase the money 'til I realized it was runnin' from me

Now, scratch that, I made a plan, now I'm the one that it's runnin' to

Fast track to that is doin' what you love to do

100x the investment in myself when y'all lost faith

I knew that it was comin' through

The difference is you did it for the cash and I did it 'cause I —

'Cause I wanted to

Though it's not about the money

It ain't about the Mula

(It ain't about the money, ain't about the Mula)

Even though it came, praise hallelujah, yeah

Sayin' that I changed, I prolly never knew ya
