Protégé - Dough

It ain’t bout what you do, it’s who you know
Weather flipping books or flipping blow
That's the difference between buying out the store
Or being broke
Go get that dough
It ain’t bout what you do, it’s who you know
Weather flipping books or flipping blow
That's the difference between buying out the store
Or being broke
Go get that dough
There was so many days that I was living broke
Eating Roman, wit the roaches, on the floor
She kicked me out had to pack up and hit the road
Wit no where to go
I'm in need of tow
Thats when I started thinking I might end life
Right then and there
Swear to God was ready to die
That’s when them high beams came on
Opened up my eyes
As if came from the sky
In the form of a polite
Older man that could see I was in need
A dollar bill and just my dreams and
I’ll succeed
He looked down and said get up off yo knees,
You are free, son come with me
I’m gonna give you something that I never teach
And if I do the shit is damn well not for free
I only need for your soul to be part of me
It ain’t bout what you do, it’s who you know
Weather flipping books or flipping blow
That's the difference between buying out the store
Or being broke
Go get that dough
It ain’t bout what you do, it’s who you know
Weather flipping books or flipping blow
That's the difference between buying out the store
Or being broke
Go get that dough
Everything I want
I got my wish
Picture perfect
You would think this what this is
Even though there’s a milly up on my wrist
I can’t even shit
Or take a piss
Without somebody asking questions in my face
Why can’t I have the money
Without the fame
Why didn’t you bother to say this came
Wit signing my name
I wish I could change
Reminiscing on the days when I was broke
Niggas laughing at me
Like I was joke
Now they see me on TV
Click the remote
What a joke
They can’t stay afloat
And yet I’m jealous
Cause they don’t what this is
Cameras flashing my biz
Amber and Wiz
If I could go back, I’d do it quick
Fuck all this
Wasn’t worth it
It ain’t bout what you do, it’s who you know
Weather flipping books or flipping blow
That's the difference between buying out the store
Or being broke
Go get that dough
It ain’t bout what you do, it’s who you know
Weather flipping books or flipping blow
That's the difference between buying out the store
Or being broke
Go get that dough
