Grand Puba

Uh, uh, yeah, ya-yeah
Ready, ready, ready, ready, uh
[Hook]
Now everybody wants to be rich (Yeah)
Nobody wants to be poor (Uh huh)
Every day ya hope ya hit the lotto (Uh)
So you dont have to slave no more (Yeah, yeah)
In the hood we flip things to them fiends (Uh huh)
Cause even hood niggas got dream (Yeah)
Every day we get caught up in the struggle (Uh)
So we can live life, love, and bubble
[Verse 1]
Some jump up in the music game to get the green
Some do the acting thing to blow up on the movie screen
Some play ball hope theyre drafted by a pro team
Some say "man Ima play the hood and serve the fiends"
Some go to school and after that do that college thing
Some drop out, get high, play the hood and bang
Some do the Wall Street, investors, stocks and bonds
Some dont do shit and still home chilin with their moms
Some move faster, get their Masters
Doctors, lawyers, self-employors
Some do Mickey-Ds or some food spots
Some be radio jocks and slice niggas at barber shops
You got blue-collar cats, you got white-collar cats
You got no-collar cats tryin to stack a stack
You got cats who spend all day sippin
And you got cats who just layin back pimpin
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Now you got some who play the store and boost gear
And you got some who hustle heads doin here
And you got some who secretary, bank tellers
And you got some who just look good for they fellas
You got some whos independent, doin they thing now
And you got some who wanna be they just dont know how
You got some who babysit, daycare and shit
And you got some who hate they job and wanna quit
You got some who housewives, wanna stay at home
And you got some whos big bosses like Sylvia Rome
You got some who shake for dollars, slide down a pole
And you got some who stressed, playin the mommy-daddy role
You got some who spend their whole life savin
You got some whos lookin for that rest haven
And you got some who tell that boss to kiss they ass
And you got some who think makin sellin ends
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Somebody tried to tell you Heaven or Hell is when ya die
Got chu guessin theres a better place up in the sky
See I see Heaven and Hell right here on this planet Earth
But mostly Hell ever since my first day of birth
Ive seen Heaven from a distance, use my persistance
Overcome resistance and get me some
Aint no money trees sittin outside ya front door
Get up and handle yours if ya tired of bein poor
[Hook x2]
