(intro)
Yo, check this out, man. This ain't just some pretty shit to bob your head to, man. This is serious stuff, man. These kids are running around here crazy. Everybody's standing around talking about the next generation after us. They're crazy, they're crazy. But nobody want to tell them nothing. The teachers ain't telling them nothing. I don't trust the schools, I don't trust nobody. Somebody's gotta tell them
Check it out
(verse 1)
Said I hope you grow to be smarter than me homie
I got gold if you want it and I'ma tell you like he told me
Dig for knowledge dawg, cause is nothing as precious
Count your blessing when reflecting and nothing to exists
To keep your pearls far from swine unless it drive you crazy
Keep your answer yes or no, more than that is just shady
And all the worry in this world it ain't going change tomorrow
But he who increases his wisdom also increases his sorrow
Give me what you owe if you got it now to pay your debt
Or else you fall asleep and who you owe it take your bed
When harvest come reserve some for cold December
If you give you best forget and if you get you best remember
Seek your council from the wise and try to kick it
The words of a fool - its bitter venom like the oath of the wicked
Where there's lightning there the thunder will come
And see a fool is a fool, there's nothing new if it's up under the sun
(chorus)
Real riches don't rust plus trust me if glitters it's dust
You can start all day, but aim for getting it done
Real riches don't rust if glitters it's dust
Glimmers quicker than your fingers can touch
Real riches don't rust plus trust me if glitters it's dust
You can start all day, but aim for getting it done
Real riches don't rust if glitters it's dust
Glimmers quicker than your fingers can touch
(verse 2)
They say regardless of the consequences you trust truly
But a good woman who can find her, if you can find her
She's above movies, who knows the value of a thing extreme profoundness
Hear the man looking for truth, beware the man who's swayed. Found it
Foolish heart muses to himself "there isn't a God."
You can't trust me with a little, never trust me with a lot
A good name's better than gold, gold in cages still a cage
Don't let the sun set on your anger, every labor gained to wage
Even the blind man can read the writing on the wall
Liken to every life a little rain must fall
Plus consider maybe faith and love is a verb. Disease is deceased
Remember God feeds the birds, no matter who says it
If it don't make sense delete it
That I don't even have to say it but he knows it well when he sees it
Remember always to conduct yourself with strangers
Love God with all your heart, mind, body, and strength and love your neighbor
(chorus)
Real riches don't rust plus trust me if glitters it's dust
You can start all day, but aim for getting it done
Real riches don't rust if glitters it's dust
Glimmers quicker than your fingers can touch
Real riches don't rust plus trust me if glitters it's dust
You can start all day, but aim for getting it done
Real riches don't rust if glitters it's dust
Glimmers quicker than your fingers can touch
(verse 3)
See love's like physics, gotta give it if you catch it
It's an action and a light. Wisdom witnessed the prison pass it
If you miss it you living backwards and all is done in vain
Rather nibble twigs, what love is than feast with aim
The weak wears a complaint faint and win and if he falls
See the fool at the gate has answers after the city falls
Let the foolish try wisdom, guard words around children
Anger empties out a warehouse. Knowledge you'll feel it
Wisdom founded that house that stand on understand it's pillars
If you judge you've discerned it burned by the flame you kill with
Not cause you fit it cause you can filter with knowledge
Intelligence is just sports. See wisdom's bigger than college
And don't forget it ever. It gets colder the higher you look
Not cause you read it somewhere. A lot of liars write books
And grow by the love. Live and breathe by the truth
Cause time will break it all down you know the seed by the fruit
(chorus)
Real riches don't rust plus trust me if glitters it's dust
You can start all day, but aim for getting it done
Real riches don't rust if glitters it's dust
Glimmers quicker than your fingers can touch
Real riches don't rust plus trust me if glitters it's dust
You can start all day, but aim for getting it done
Real riches don't rust if glitters it's dust
Glimmers quicker than your fingers can touch
