Monet Interlude

Interviewer: Do you make a lot of
Money out of your music?
Marley: Money? I mean
 what is… how much is a lot of money to you?
Interviewer: yeah, that’s a good question
Have you made, say, millions of dollars?
Marley: No interviewer: Are you a rich man?
Marley: When you mean "rich
" what do you mean?
Interviewer: You have a lot of possessions? A
Lot of money in the bank?
Marley: Possessions make you rich?
I don’t have that
Type of richness my richness is life

Smooth fella, Mr city-stoop-dweller
Eatin turkey on the road but I’m
Plottin to get my bread up but fuck it
Start my days with some scrambled eggs and
OJ but 40s be my forte
And if you hatin then fuck you
I’ll skip the foreplay
You see we do this for the
Art and not the Monet ironic, huh?
So lately it’s been all work and no play
I’ve had to tell a lot of people "No way"
That’s a lot of Joses tryna get
All in yo face but shit
You can’t please ‘em all dog
I stumbled in the summer and
It’s been a long Fall
Tryin’ show ‘em that I’m in
This for the long haul
I’m really ready to walk cause
It’s been a long crawl
I speak truth to all my sisters and brothers
They struggle to be trans
Parent like conservative mothers
I’m authentic
Seems we forgot what that means
And they pray we the generation
That forgot to have dreams
And we won’t, although we stay woke
I’m wealthy with this knowledge though
My pockets stay broke
More than a system we fightin but
They won't ever take hope
I’m out here rappin til my chest hurts
Livin, spittin colder than Earl
Without the sweatshirt
