"Funny Money" lyrics

Yeah
Ladies, make it hot, girls, make it hot
Ladies, make it hot, girls, make it hot
Ladies, make it hot, girls, make it hot

Mr. International, passport pimping
City street dweller, every asphalt different
Hitting with Jean and The Roots, my man Black Thought ripping
Now a glass goes whistling, my rap flow's switching up
Wait, the promoter bitching, is this asshole tripping?
Why my cash flow missing?
Don't fuck around this is how I make a living
Stop, listen, get the guap
My kids can't eat my love for hip-hop
This ain't the circus, I don't see no big top
So who ya trying to clown your money like Chris Rock
Don't make me laugh with your funny money

Yeah, uh, yeah, hehehehehe, eh yeah, yo

These promoters shady and they good for broken promises
Some of them scared of the hood so they only promote the colleges
I'm having problems with excuses
Especially when it comes to my money and the contract is exclusive
They sell the tickets with your name up in lights an' shit
But when it's time to pay they came up with all type of shit
Or tried to pay me in marijuana
The crowd was so thin he blamed Osama and the Twin Tower bombers
In my pocket like a thief and there ain't no honor
Living all reckless like there ain't no karma
You ain't on punishment, I ain't your mamma
I just had to expose the truth like Leonardo DaVinci when he paint Madonna

Hey, hey, hey
C'mon
Uh
Whoa

Illegal business control America
Illegal immigration, gun control hysteria
The war on terror, war on drug, now everybody have vices
So we still getting higher than gas prices
Yeah we have righteous MCs, ready to infiltrate
The system like a disease and bring it right to its knees
Who ain't fucking with the pay for play, that shit is gay
Get down with Blacksmith or get the fuck out the way
Everything's straight! Just get out from under the table
I'm not a pimp running a stable
I'm a kid with a vision running a label
With the freshest MCs with something to say too
We cutting the umbilical cord from the navel
Willing and able to change the game for the better
A lot of crews claim they together
Then they fall apart and blame it on cheddar
Please! I stay professional in all my endeavors
So we about to blow like Parliament in "V for Vendetta"
They try to get you with the funny money
