Money, Penny Lyrics - Singles - Burnell Washburn

"Money, Penny" 

Written by Burnell Washburn // Gratitude LP 2014 

VERSE 1 

I'm dead famous, but i'm no martar 

I got plugs like an iPhone charger 

your crew goes hard? mine goes harder 

you spend a lot of money but mine goes further 

i'm smart with my shit i put heart in my shit 

I deserve what I get, I work hard for my shit 

I keep grindin - it's no krooked grind 

I just look for the light, I never look behind 

I'm focused, zonin 

didn't answer your call cause my phone was roamin' 

too busy to notice omens 

now i'm sittin' on a lotus "ohhmmin" 

yoga posin' - mix it up we like to smoke the potion 

coast to coastin' - o to ocean 

tryin' to deal with all of those emotions 

you know those days when you feel like shit? 

and you don't know why you just feel like shit? 

like why? do I feel like this? 

cause lately i've been dealing with some real life shit 

just lost two friends in the past two weeks 

just got paid gotta make it last two weeks 

but ...I got bills to pay 

so it's safe to say I won't eat a meal today 

while Lil' Wayne makes another mil today 

I will fill a page with something real to say 

Lil' Wayne couldn't stomach my hunger pains 

it's a battle to the death like the Hunger Games 

but it's real - it's no fiction novel 

select your grade and lift the nozzle 

even if you've got drive - still need gasoline 

ain't nothing gonna thrive without magic beans 

say 

CHORUS 

Money, Penny, Dollar Money 

make that, take that money, penny 

Money, Penny, Dollar, Money 

1 for the show and 2 for the .... 

Money, Penny, Dollar, Money 

more for the rich and less for the hungry 

Money, Penny, Dollar, Money, 

Make that, take that, money 

VERSE 2 

I'm a rapper, not a politician 

all I ever wanted was for you all to listen 

never thought it was a game or a competition 

just thoughts in my brain on a composition 

notebook, look, i've got a lot of shows booked 

been through enough I could write my own book 

"how to get fucked over every other day and still 

have a big smile on my pretty little face" 

i'm crazy, just like you 

if they don't let me in i'm gonna bust right through 

only takes a little bit to disrupt my mood 

probably cause I never knew a love like you 

been raining for a month and it sucks my dude 

but I feel it in the air there will be sunlight soon 

and no matter what I always love my crew 

but even they can really get to me sometimes too 

they hate Burnell but they love Stu 

like there's some kind of difference between us two 

the talk that I hear has got me coming unlglued 

didn't change for the worse man I just grew 

grew up, then I grew two nuts 

grew apart from a few who didn't give two fucks 

started chasing a dream, didn't wait for a thing 

stayed awake every night in my basement to sing 

now i'm gettin' it, I don't work for the man 

I work for myself and I work for my fans 

work hard for you, starved for you 

maxed out all my credit cards for you 

now i'm gettin' it, I don't work for the man 

I work for myself and I work for my fans 

work hard for you, starve for you 

30 hour drive in the car for you 

I did it all for you, I broke my heart for you 

I need 

CHORUS 

Money, Penny, Dollar Money 

make that, take that money, penny 

Money, Penny, Dollar, Money 

1 for the show and 2 for the .... 

Money, Penny, Dollar, Money 

more for the rich and less for the hungry 

Money, Penny, Dollar, Money, 

Make that, take that, money 

BRIDGE 

Money talks, doesn't mean you have to listen 

cause you could have it all and still have something missin' 

money talks, doesn't mean you have to listen 

just give it to your heart when you're making your decisions 

say 

CHORUS
