You A Millionaire
Let me introduce myself properly
I am the original
I’m read‚ it’s not a lot of me
Knowledge reigns supreme‚ that’s the
Vibration I’m coming with
People ask me‚ "What you think about
Rap?" Well it’s some other shit, but
This style’s exposing the corruption
Of the government
This ain’t every rapper’s style
KRS some other shit
For years we teach the people
‘bout knowledge from the pavement
Street knowledge‚ a complete college
We called it edutainment
Education through entertainment
That’s what we named it
But corporations of all sorts
Wanted mass enslavement
Program directors got the music
But didn’t play it
They knew about the movement but they
Still chose to betray it
So ask yourself‚ why the radio
Just play the same shit?
They part of the conspiracy
We gon’ have to face it
All types of emcees spitting
Out the illest rhymes
And we only get to hear
Five rappers a millions times?
You’s a millionaire, yeah, off
Of black despair, yeah
You’s a millionaire, yeah, off
Of lust and fear, yeah
You’s a millionaire, yeah, off
The poor right there, yeah
You’s a millionaire, yeah
You’s a millionaire, yeah
You’s a millionaire with a million
There and a million here
You got a million shares
Shoes, you got a million pair
You do what you do, you don’t even care
Let ‘em peep and stare they not even there
You in your easy chair, the millionaire
Your fragrance fills the air
Which costs more than they’ll make in a year
But you don’t even care
Hit the brakes, red lights in the rear
The pastor anoints them
While poor people appoint them
Driven by envy, they don’t see how the
Rich people exploit them
You’s a millionaire, yeah, off
Of black despair, yeah
You’s a millionaire, yeah, off
Of lust and fear, yeah
You’s a millionaire, yeah, off
The poor right there, yeah
You’s a millionaire, yeah
You’s a millionaire, yeah
I can be a millionaire
A millionaire for sure
If I hoard my money and ignore
The cries of the poor
If I opened up a company
And asked for hood loyalty
Then when the money came in
I would not pay out the royalties
I would be a millionaire
Maybe I would love it
But what they do with a thousand dollars
I can do with a hundred
I don’t cost that much to live
So I got a lot to give
Keep a surplus, positive
You’s a millionaire, yeah, off
Of black despair, yeah
You’s a millionaire, yeah, off
Of lust and fear, yeah
You’s a millionaire, yeah, off
The poor right there, yeah
You’s a millionaire, yeah
You’s a millionaire, yeah
