Testo Jon Doe - Nine
Testo della canzone Jon Doe (Nine), tratta dall'album Cloud 9
I make it on the humble, it's marvelous
Sipping fine wine and champagne
Smoking cannabis, po' folks don't understand this
Helicopter rides, first class airline flights
Fifty pairs of Nikes, two gold mics
A spot in the hills to stash all my bills
Givin' hookers chills like ice water dripping down their back
I stack paper like flapjacks, max to protect what I earn
My pocket is the safe combination to the great paper chase
Getting money, I learned as a youth
From a drug dealer with a gold tooth
I was the lookout on the project roof
A little shorty out to make something of himself
Get the wealth, put it on the shelf
Right next to the silver spoon I never had growing up
What's luck? I never met him, and if I met him
I wouldn't sweat him, I'd be out to get him
Probably wet him, stick him up, take his whole cash flow
What I gotta do to be John Doe?
John Doe, middle name Money
Cream in abundance, thousands of hundreds
Cash rules God, seek the twelve jewels
I get forty below, so call me John Doe
Everything I desire requires cream
This American Dream is a nightmare in disguise
Nice guys finish last, no surprise
Life is one big mean streak
I seek the fortune, but with the fortune comes the coffin
Very often, so I gotta get mines legal
Look out for my niggas with the root of all evil
Push come to shove, I rise above nonsense
With material, made it this long, it's a miracle
Whip yourself into shape, get up and fight for yours
Die for yours, kill for yours, lie for yours
Put your paws on the money like the dog you are
Do it for your moon and your star
'Cause life is a three-ring circus and I ain't no clown
I don't find nothing funny living without money
Give me the wetbacks, the green, the cream, the gusto
What I gotta do to be John Doe?
John Doe, middle name Money
Cream in abundance, thousands of hundreds
Cash rules God, seek the twelve jewels
I get forty below, so call me John Doe
John Doe, middle name Money
Cream in abundance, thousands of hundreds
Cash rules God, seek the twelve jewels
I get forty below, so call me John Doe
See that greenback? Got my name on it
Doggone it, I want it, all and then some
In love with income like I love redrum
Three-sixty-five annual, with the manual
Instructions, directions for corruptions
What's your function? Save the dumb shit for Jim Carrey
And the real love for Mary
I go on and on like interest, five percent every day
Gotta be payday, no time to slack
Keep the monkey off your back, fight for your stack
Swing like a new jack, why? 'Cause life says so
Do what you gotta do to be John Doe
John Doe, middle name Money
Cream in abundance, thousands of hundreds
Cash rules God, seek the twelve jewels
I get forty below, so call me John Doe
John Doe, middle name Money
Cream in abundance, thousands of hundreds
Cash rules God, seek the twelve jewels
I get forty below, so call me John Doe
