Dinheiro É o Nome do Jogo

Money is the name of the game

And they didn't beat me

Money is the name of the game
I see bribes all day
Dirty deals, that's all there is
I filter it out
Don't let it sit, I question
What's the point of rockin' a Yanomami tribe necklace?

Guarantee is to get high
But bro, let's start thinkin' (use your mind)
I wanna be good too, that's not the point
Actions are like mirrors, they influence the people (because)

Coach talk, got plenty to hug you
They put you in a box (the world's way more than the horizon)
How much is this show worth? With a thousand chances to die
Money don't mean I'm gonna live well

If I could go back in time, what would I do?
I'd tell Marvin, don't buy that gun, it'll take your life
Makes me laugh, they even buy cocaine, a fantasy
The first few days
Then anatomy's ruined

Money is the name of the game

And they didn't beat me
They didn't beat me
They didn't beat me

I might have a car, a PhD, be decorated
Have money, good life, but if it's fake, I'm not bulletproof
That's what they want, for me to behave (one more black guy)
Modernization, Internet, black folks advancing
All this brought drama, the worry about going viral
They drain your grind, that's been since Motown times
The road of your fate, solidify your path
Superficiality is sold
But time teaches
