This is a story of a kid his name is Cisko [Cisko]
Who made more money than the Count of Monte Crisco [Crisco]
He lived a lavish style of life, fast money women cars
And he liked to frequent bars pubs and discos [discos]
Made his living as a world famous rap star [rap star]
When he first started mic respect's what he was af-ter [AF-ter]
And so he got inside his mind, day and night, and he'd write
Constantly his art and craft he'd try to mas-ter [MAS-ter]
Started winnin local battles and his rep grew [rep grew]
Gave his crew a reputation as the best crew [best crew]
And what life would do to him, all the cards that was hard
Pen and ped, stress relief would be his refuge [RE-fuge]

Paid his dues, doing shows, now he's on track [ON track]
In the lab, pumping demos, makin songs fat [SONGS fat]
Then he quit his nine to five, finally his time arrived
When he signed a major label record contract
Don't let money change ya!
Laaaaah, di-dah, da-da-dee-dah
Lah-di-dah, da-da-dee-dah [4X]

His first single was a overnight success hit [success hit]
And now he went from wearing rags to the best fits [best fits]
All his new acquitances, gassed his head, takin it
To the point where he lost proper perspective ['spective]
Started cuttin off the people he came up wit [up wit]
Ego blown like his soul had been ab-ducted [ab-ducted]
Though his heart was once real, now material has filled
Up his world, and he couldn't get enough of it [get ENOUGH of it]
Used to wanna be the best of the rap dons [rap dons]
Now his only one concern is goin plati-NUM [plati-NUM]
And his skills has since decreased, and the inner hunger ceased
Now content, just as long as fame and cash come [CASH come]
He's a Big Willie now, rappin bout cars [bout cars]
Thousand dollar shoppin sprees, hangin out with stars [out with stars]
I mean just a year ago, he was broke, bummin money
Drinkin out the 40 bottle, livin outdoors
Don't let money change ya!
Laaaaah, di-dah, da-da-dee-dah
Lah-di-dah, da-da-dee-dah [4X]

Second LP, my rap changes fast [changes fast]
Here today, gone tomorrow, now his label passed [label passed]
Now the new poster boy, with the hip now sound
Second time around everything isn't stable as [stable as]
It once was, now he's lookin for the same hit [SAME hit]
But his sound is played, he forget to change wit [CHANGE wit]
Them old hit rhymes, no one feelin him, his rhymes ain't appealin
Anymore, and his records ain't sellin shit [ain't sellin SHIT]
Now he's dropped from his label, and he's goin broke [goin broke]
Tried the underground return, ghetto pass revoked [pass reVOKED]
And the same faces that he dissed, on his way, to the top
Laughed as they watched him do the downstroke [DOWNstroke]
Now the moral of the story is that some go [some go]
Why would money make the inner vision crumble? [crumble]
So if you're blessed with the talent, utilize it to the fullest
Be true to yourself and stay humble
Don't let money change ya!
Laaaaah, di-dah, da-da-dee-dah
Lah-di-dah, da-da-dee-dah [4X]
Don't let money change ya!
Laaaaah, di-dah, da-da-dee-dah
Lah-di-dah, da-da-dee-dah [2X]
Don't let money change ya!
Laaaaah, di-dah, da-da-dee-dah
Lah-di-dah, da-da-dee-dah [2X]
Don't let money change ya!
Laaaaah, di-dah, da-da-dee-dah
Lah-di-dah, da-da-dee-dah [2X to fade]
