What Would You Do?

(Crocker Verse)

/Exploit trust to gain/ Give out lust for fame/ Tout love the same 'til your mouth touch the flame/ Feel that numb in your brain from the rush of the 'caine/ Can you come down?/ Or is a star too far gone?/ Broke callin' rides from the end of a bar phone/ Fame worth your dignity, wealth worth divinity/ That high worth your mother's face soaking and trembling/ What's your sanity worth? Is it vanity's purse?/ Tasted of the fruit, now you're sampling dirt/ Facade fortified, feel (that) you can't fall down/ Fortuitous but fragile, you're but two shots down/ Tale as old as time, dark comes to the light/ Your view is too skewed, hence, the scar in your sight/ When calling us collect, hope your margining's tight/ Short cut could turn a trail into a horror of life/

(Hook)

/Would you turn on your people? Giving in to the evils/ Just to be on television poppin' collars/ What would you do for the dollars?/ What would you do for the dollars?/
/Would you let a man die and refuse to ask why? Go and cop a fatter chain, you rottweilers/ What would you do for the dollars?/ What would you do for the dollars?/

(Genius Verse)

/For the love of the money, cousin got a dozen honeys/ Went from bein' broke & bummy to cleaner than the Easter Bunny/ It's funny/ How quick your status change/ And flip the situation like the Batarang/ He tried to be classy, would chop with some baggies/ His wife said "Sadly, these kids need their daddy"/ It was just like Saturday, we were burning like calories, discussing how we'd rather be/ Paid bigger salaries/ Fresh like celery or big name celebrities/ Now he's in the cell, being held for conspiracy/ Over dollars that he didn't have apparently/ When he's locked away, no hand in the parenting/ All from a paper chase, heavy like paper weights/ In court "Vs. The State," they play him like Crazy Eights/ That just goes to demonstrate/ They're taking off our dinner plate/ More than a piece of steak/ And we let em' eat a piece of cake/ We let it be a piece of cake/

(Hook)

/Would you turn on your people? Giving in to the evils/ Just to be on television poppin' collars/ What would you do for the dollars?/ What would you do for the dollars?/
/Would you let a man die and refuse to ask why? Go and cop a fatter chain, you rottweilers/ What would you do for the dollars?/ What would you do for the dollars?/
