Pat Battle - GTM [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
How you gonna get the money?
How you gonna get the money?
How you gonna get the money?
How you gonna get the money?

[Verse 1: Just Wise]
Money, money, get the paper, that's for real
Gun for hire, open fire, dollar bill
Holla Holla, but only for that bread
Can't take it to the next life, but if it is a next life
We gone keep this money train movin' on a head
All aboard, monetary holocaust
Cornbread and collard greens, pop your collar like a boss
Masta eatin' steak, on the greens playin' golf
Lookin' at stock options while you look at job offers
Either nine to five grindin' or pitchin' on them corners
Trying to make a dollar out a nickel and a quarter
Might heat you up pot, then drop it in the water
Now we don't own no boats or no gondolas
Still it's cocaine from Bolivia and Panama
Panoramic views on them Panasonic camera
The streets watchin' - Watch back and know what time it is

[Hook: Just Wise]
You just the gold, you just the money
You just want the hoes, you just want the honey
How you gonna get the money?
How you gonna get the money?
How you gonna get the money?

[Bridge]

[Verse 2: Pat Battle]
Now I recommend you remember that I enter with energy
Refresh your fuzzy memory - Think - How do we get the money?
(Oh)
By making a livin' or making a killin'? Whether you hip to admittin'
That your government is doublin' debt
And cripplin' us men and women to death
I pedal ahead of the curve with a different currency
I got a verb or three
And when I cash 'em in, kick back a grin
That's all I ask, give Pat a ten-
-tion, running a muck I must - cuss some - Man, fuck the funds
The punks that be on that junk
Can kiss my Black rump in a lump sum
You want a penny for my thoughts?
I think they nickel and dimin' us
They hype things they might mean to (Get The Money)
"In God we" what?
Paper comes from trees, leaves legislative branches
Free to hike the stakes of life
If your native language is Spanish damnit
Me llamo Pat Battle, and I'm votin' for no one
You can save face if you wanna, but yo how you gonna - ?
You know what? Keep your token slogans man
You can pop 'em in, but I plot to win
No coin could ever commemorate
The very state of mind that I be rockin' in, but then again
I've never done this for the money

[Hook: Pat Battle]
You want the scene? Want the dream?
Well you should be wondering - Somethin's funny (Do It)
(How you gonna get the money?)
Cause everything has a cap, that's fact
So I'm askin' all you dummies (Stupid)
(How you gonna get the money?)
And nothin' in life is free, you can take it from me
I need mobility but (How you gonna get the money?)

[Just Wise]
Life costs to run across it

[Drok]
Be the boss or be accosted

[Verse 3: Drok]
Runnin' for money across the globe, it's the same
Watch 'em workin' for dollars, not even hopin' for change
And they're so in the game that they don't even know the rules When I saw the overseers they were seein' over you
And they been watchin', locked in prior to back in the day
Follow that cash that you make for all them taxes you pay
Whether the trap that you bait, or if the trap that you wait
Notice a slave for a slave cause its a trap either way
Peep behind the curtain lurk into the back of the stage
See that money only plays that golden calf when you pray
But it sounds better when we call that capitalism
But that cash isn't kiddin', it got your ass on a mission
It's every man for himself and then they laugh at the women
With no ask and no listen, now "Get your ass in the kitchen"
Then that gatherin' friction builds and leads to separation
Peep the destination...

[Pat Battle]
Where we going?

[Drok]
To where?

[Hook: Drok] x2
That money just paper
(That money just paper)
That diamond just rock
(That diamond just rock)
That gold is just metal
(That gold is just metal)
This time is just not
(This time is just not)
