Tooj 17 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side Staying alive was no jive At second hands, moms bounced on old men So then we moved to Shaolin land A young youth, yo rockin the gold tooth, 'Lo goose Only way, I begin to gee off was drug loot And let's start it like this son, rollin with this one And that one, pullin out gats for fun But it was just a dream for the teen, who was a fiend Started smokin woolies at sixteen And running up in gates, and doing hits for high stakes Making my way on fire escapes No question I would speed, for cracks and weed The combination made my eyes bleed No question I would flow off, and try to get the dough all Sticking up white boys in ball courts My life got no better, same damn 'Lo sweater Times is ruff and tuff like leather Figured out I went the wrong route So I got with a sick ass click and went all out Catchin keys from across seas Rollin in MPV's, every week we made forty G's Yo nigga respect mine, or anger the tech nine Ch-chick-POW! Move from the gate now [Chorus: Method Man] Cash, Rules, Everything, Around, Me C.R.E.A.M. Get the money Dollar, dollar bill y'all [Verse Two: Inspector Deck] It's been twenty-two long hard years of still strugglin Survival got me buggin, but I'm alive on arrival I peep at the shape of the streets And stay awake to the ways of the world cause shit is deep A man with a dream with plans to make C.R.E.A.M. Which failed; I went to jail at the age of 15 A young buck sellin drugs and such who never had much Trying to get a clutch at what I could not... could not... The court played me short, now I face incarceration Pacin -- going up state's my destination Handcuffed in back of a bus, forty of us Life as a shorty shouldn't be so ruff But as the world turns I learned life is hell Living in the world no different from a cell Everyday I escape from Jakes givin chase, sellin base Smokin bones in the staircase Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed But I'm still depressed, and I ask what's it worth? Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth Who explained working hard may help you maintain to learn to overcome the heartaches and pain We got stickup kids, corrupt cops, and crack rocks and stray shots, all on the block that stays hot Leave it up to me while I be living proof To kick the truth to the young black youth But shorty's running wild smokin sess drinkin beer And ain't trying to hear what I'm kickin in his ear Neglected, but now, but yo, it gots to be accepted That what? That life is hectic [Outro:] [Chorus -- 4X] Niggas gots to do what they gotta do, to get a bill YaknowhatI'msayin? because we can't just get by no more Word up, we gotta get over, straight up and down [Chorus -- 3X] Cash Rules Everything Around Me C.R.E.A.M. get the money Dolla dolla bill y'aauhhhaaaauhhhhahhhauhhhhll, YEAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I just got a new job on-campus for 10 hours a week. I got in and they said, 'just go online.' So I'm being paid for this. And answering the phone sometimes. I'm doing it for the money; on the other hand, I want to be a teacher because I enjoy it. So, I voted a mixture. I'd hate to have nothing to do.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I've always said I'd keep working if I won the lottery. No-one ever believes me though. Never liked the way people you see on a Sunday night spend the whole time lamenting that they've got to work the next day. If you hate a job so much you can't even enjoy your spare time, it's time for a new career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'm a teacher, I work in my job because I love it. i could earn more in another profession but, I dont think I could get out of bed if I didn't love my job.

Jill 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Money. I don't mind my job, like the people etc and it's reasonable compared to some, but if I suddenly became rich (eg. lottery) I'd be off in a shot. Selfless of me really, there's unemployed folk would kill for my job. I'd still find plenty to do with my day tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 13983 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) I've always said I'd keep working if I won the lottery. Me too. Well, not necessarily in this job, but I'd need a 9-to-5 routine or I'd never get out of bed. I voted "money", since that's obviously the prime consideration, though it's a useful side-effect that I happen to generally like my job.

Jimbo 133 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'm in my job purely for the money, I'm fortunate that I enjoy my job and find it rewarding, but I'd leave it in a heartbeat for something that paid better, and if I won a fortune on the lottery, I'd never work again if I could afford it.

NJS 3960 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) For money but it has to be something you sort of enjoy which is the case for me. Without being nasty I think the idea of winning the lottery and still working displays a profound lack of imagination - I wouldn't be sitting around all day - I'd be off discovering the world as a first thought with a "9-5 routine" being the last thing I'd be think of. I can understand the psychological need for this in the normal course of things but to not want out of if given the chance is sad imo.
