The Story:
So, this one time at the studio, Rufio Jones couldn't make it. Rufio Jones not making it is actually a rare occurrence. Regardless, this was made.
lyrics
Sean Uppercut:
Raps to riches, raps to riches
I used to eat hot sauce sand-the-wiches
Sittin in a shack makin random wishes
Now I'm part owner of the Mavs and pistons
ask the women, they tell you fast
When I was spittin bars, they ain't tell me naan
Now when I rap they tell me that
They wanna give me that tail, and I tell them ehhhh
ILLingsworth:
raps to riches raps riches
start a new program
snacks for snitches
cyanide pills in elaborate dishes
we making cash appear like math magicians
then it disappears, cuz who up and got an ear to
interfere, lookie here at these tacky pigeons
to survive out here we make fast decisions
no pass for simpin', just classic pimpin
Sean Uppercut:
I use the raps and this scheme to fuel dreams
Plug in the mic as to power the machine
Push it to full steam like irons on beam
Till it Then makes green like pools thats unclean
Wait what you mean, say you need a verse?
I'm tryna make bread, gotta see the dough first
I'll do it for de free, I usu-ally charge
93,000 for sixteen bars
93,000 for sixteen bars, 93,000 for sixteen bars
ILLingsworth:
raps to riches , raps to riches
done so much bad that I'm past forgiveness
here's a bit of game to get back to business:
pull up your bootstraps, grab your britches
they wack and um
they lack the umph
to outlast, triumph, and snatch the ribbons
you win, you lose, but that's the difference
when life gives you lemonade don't ask for lemons
