The money I made didn't change me, nigga, it changed you
I stayed the same through my wealth, but take a look at you
Back in the days, I went to school with you, too cool with you
But seems like now I can't fool with you
Money didn't change me, nigga, it changed you
I stayed the same through my wealth, but take a look at you
Back in the days, I went to school with you, too cool with you
But seems like now I can't fool with you

Back in the days I went to school with you (you hear me)
Like blood brothers, I was cool with you (you feel me)
I remember times I carried tools with you (I clapped)
But nowadays I can't fool with you (I swear)
You said I started to act funny (I can't see it)
Since I made me some money (you believe it)
It wasn't a problem when I gave it to you (I know)
But since I quit I'm in the wrong to you (that's low)
It ain't my fault that I kept chasin' my dreams
You claimed you couldn't see the woods, because of too many trees (you dummy)
And despite impossibilities (you know)
I turned it all to possibilities (for sure)
But that ain't keepin' it real in your mind (I see)
I gotta feed your family and mine (nigga please)
I hate so bad that I can't keep pleasin' (keep samplin')
I guess everything happens for a reason (shit happens)

The money I made didn't change me, nigga, it changed you
I stayed the same through my wealth, but take a look at you
Back in the days, I went to school with you, too cool with you
But seems like now I can't fool with you
Money didn't change me, nigga, it changed you
I stayed the same through my wealth, but take a look at you
Back in the days, I went to school with you, too cool with you
But seems like now I can't fool with you

I can't call you everyday, I got studio and shows
You always want some money but never wrote no flows
You think I gotta put you in all our videos
And every time I buy something you want some C-notes
You think you oughta quit your job and come and work for me
So you can sit on your ass and get paid for free
So if you sit down and give this shit a little thought
You the one that's actin' funny, so I cut your water off

Some people hate that Project Pat and Juicy J on the spot
We pay cash for our cars, then we push off the lot
Back in the day, they used to say this rappin' shit was a flop
But we done made our meal tickets now they jealous and hot
Don't get mad, ghetto niggas went from rags to riches
Straight outta North Side High, now we stackin' and pimpin'
I ain't forgot about the hood, 'cause the hood is still in me
I know its all to the good, all together we winnin'

The money I made didn't change me, nigga, it changed you
I stayed the same through my wealth, but take a look at you
Back in the days, I went to school with you, too cool with you
But seems like now I can't fool with you
Money didn't change me, nigga, it changed you
I stayed the same through my wealth, but take a look at you
Back in the days, I went to school with you, too cool with you
But seems like now I can't fool with you
