For the love of money.
Gotta make that money, man.
That money, man.
It's still the same, now.

Gotta get on the grind, pop in the clip of my nine, and bitch if you slip,
You hit the chalk and fall in the nighttime.
Gotta get mine,
Ain't takin' no shorts or no losses.
Hop on the phone, callin' my nigga, Sin, at home,
Polishin' the MAC-1O chrome.
Gotta lick we can hit, so bring your shit, 'cause once again, it's on.
To the dome with a fifth of (burb), my wig to the curb, so we swerve
And rolled out to pick up the triple-six thug and follow the murder for robbin' the dopehouse. Smoke jump outta me bong,
So high, now comin' to slay with four grenades and a gauge.
I'm a play, watch all 'em fall in the grave and lay.
Pullin' in the driveway, Wish spotted the place and quickly rolled up.
Bulldozed through the living room, hopped out of the car, and started to blow up.
Buck, buck, and a kabloom, me blew all them bodies all over the room.
Them doomed. And gotta move fast, why?
The po-po's comin'. Snatch up me yummy, so nigga, don't think it's funny.
I'm comin' up quick in the nine-quat, 'cause Flesh be lovin' this money, this money.

I'm givin' up love to the hustlas, all them St. Clair thugstas,
Makin' that money, stayin' on your feet.
And you better believe gotta have that cheese for the green leaves, never catch me sleep.
Stay on the grind, get mine, stayin' down for my crime,
And I hit up the nine nine, givin' up that 1lello, makin' me sale--twenties,
Nickels and dimes. Beat up and stick up a lick up, that two-eleven,
Gotta get what's mine, then bailin'.
Me kickin' up dust, I'm trailin', feelin' one-eight-seven.
That's how it is, and I gotsta have it in the nine-quat.
Mission: to check a mill and still be real.
Thuggin' on the glock-glock, creepin' on a come up,
Won't sleep 'til I'm done up, gotta blaze me blunt up,
Hunt up another plot and scheme, gotta make some green,
Cause soldiers nut up. What up? Gotta get that business on,
Even though the buddah run me, stun me, feelin' lovely,
But I'm just in it for the love of the money.

For the love of money.
Gotta make that money, man.
That money, man.
It's still the same, now.

Standin' on the corner, straight slangin' rocks.
Aw, shit! Here comes the muthafuckin' cops, so I dash, I duck,
And I hides behind a tree, makin' sure the muthafuckas don't see me.
Now my fat sack of rocks--hell, yeah, I stuffed 'em. Police on my draws.
I had to pause, and yeah, it's still muthafuck 'em.
Now my game is tight. Tight as fuck is my game.
Eazy-muthafuckin'-E or Eric Wright it's all the same.
Now, niggas might trip on how I stacks my grip.
I gotta have it, bitch.
For the love of this shit. motherfucker!

Gotta make that money, man.
That money, man.
It's still the same, now.

When dough got me thugsta, thuggish ways, down for my crime everytime.
Follow me down the nine nine, and you will find all
Of me kind. Check out the Ripsta, now, drop down.
Run 'em up outta me hood. Rip's straight when I'm makin' me grip with a
Me click, rollin' with Ruthless, the thug I be.
Me put 'em in mud, buck 'em, and pump blood.
Got nothin' to lose, bitch. Ya
Better respect Rip, or ya best just check this slug.
It's goin' down, steady pump and peel rounds, gunnin' with a me gang.
Bang. Gotta make that money, man.
It's still the same, steady runnin' thangs wild.
And follow me now, while I take ya up into
A barrel of a gun, see. For the dub, you're done.
For the bud, I run, for the love of my money.

Nigga down for my thang off in this thug game.
So peep as me creep and me crawlin' off on the mission to back in the days
When niggas was bailin' with sawed-offs and wanted to get paid.
Runnin' to my side, lil' nigga, Ripsta, both on the mission for
Money. You give up the cash, oh, that was your ass,
Cause me and my nigga was hungry. And, bitch, if you're stallin',
You might just catch one to the temple, and um, Bone raw doggin',
So nigga just make this shit simple and run. To catch one nigga,
Me fill 'em with bullets and dump 'em in rivers.
Remember, me killa, now. For money, me dig ya six feet in a ditch and get richer,
Cause, bitch, you were slippin'.
I'll cut ya, then rip ya, then buck ya down.
Steady robbin' and stealin', makin' a killin'.
Nigga drugdealin', needin' a million. Hustlin' drugs when the thugs be chillin'.
For the money, these niggas be sellin' off in the cut,
Where you find a nigga thuggin' off in braids and skullies,
And when I stick ya and lick ya, remember
I get 'em up for the love of money.
For the love of money.

Yeah, Bone in the muthafuckin' house for the nine-quats, nigga,
Yeah, rollin' with Ruthless Records in this bitch.
My niggas, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone, and Flesh-n-Bone.
And I'm that nigga, Krayzie Bone, in the muthafuckin' house.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
