Greed by Kemba Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My only fear is to die poor
I've already seen an eyeful
How much really is a life worth?
Drop a penny off the Eiffel
Christian Baptism finna cost all
Scriptures written out the bible
Preacher reaching where the tithes go
Pastor tweeting from an iPhone 6
Practice fainting from a high foam pen
Little children holding high hopes
Niggas stumbled on the fountain of youth
Turned around and bought a Sprite though
Doctor matching up the type O
Niggas bangin' with the 5-0
Niggas hangin' from a high rope
Niggas pray for vitiligo, oh man!
Even Fresh Prince gettin' old now, where the time go?
My my PD drive by, I better lie low
Born with a man-made disease God couldn't diagnose
Fat lady singing in the nursery room I've been dying slow
They saying, "maybe it's all in your mind, maybe it's all in your mind."
You went away to get yours, and now you’re all into mine
I call it a glitch in the Matrix, a flaw in design
When the laws of the land and the laws of man intertwine
[Hook]
Oh oh oh oh
How can one man have so much?
You know you got what I want
I know you got what I need
Greed
No no no no no
Don't try to stand in my way
There ain't no way you'll succeed
I know you got what I need
Greed
Greed
[Verse 2]
My niggas stuck, like Siamese twins
Caught in between a cold world and a box they was in
You would think we was drug lords if you watch CNN
Where the hood get the drugs from, please remind me again
Another routine spot search from the bottom to the top
Shaq diesel with a sheriff badge, that's a high percentage shot
Stopped the kid tryna hit a cop, tell me how I'm in a lot?
Know i hit two birds with a single stone get the cowards off the block
Some wish i wouldn't say that
Call the Bronxville press tell em get the twelvie off the block ASAP
Bronx 12 got the 12 lookin like the higher help with an apron
Fox news call me ape, well if I'm an ape I'mma be the apex
Caesar with a light, Caesar finna fight, people killing for a paycheck
I just what's right bust a U-ie on a universal vibrations
Homie couldn't get a rap on me try to hit me with a citation
I've been hitting up the opposition where the funds are where the safe at
Where the mothafucking safe at nigga?
[Hook]
Oh oh oh oh
How can one man have so much?
You know you got what I want
I know you got what I need
Greed
No no no no no
Don't try to stand in my way
There ain't no way you'll succeed
I know you got what I need
Greed
Greed
