The Left - My Green [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Sample]:
"My green, oh green
My green, oh green
My green, oh green
My jealous mark"

[Verse One]:
Yo, money, dollars, paper, dinero
My bulls eye on the green like the tip of an arrow
They say it's a recession
People livin' in sorrow
But I think differently armed with a double barrel
I'm out to see my dreams realized, it's a must
So in God in trust, I'll hustle until the dust
I done made a million plus, it ain't enough
I got a tape worm, I say hungry for bucks
I gotta have them flashy things with nice rings
Rocks for the pinky give me status of kings
That new E-Class it classify my swagger
I'm gettin' to the point where money isn't a factor
I see you dudes up in the club, y'all just actors
Wanna be Frank Lucus niggas you'll never capture
But when you lose sight of the life that really matters
Somebody caps ya, tryin' to get what you after
The green

[Chorus]:
"My green"
Money
"Oh green"
Get paper
"My green"
Dollars
"Oh green"
Take over
"My green"
Power
"Oh green"
Trust no one
"My jealous mark"
"My green"
Money
"Oh green"
Get paper
"My green"
Dollars
"Oh green"
Take over
"My green"
Power
"Oh green"
Trust no one
"My jealous mark"

[Verse Two]:
Euros, francs, pounds, dinars
A king ain't enough, I'm tryin' to get to the stars
When I step into the room, I want people to notice
So my money fly in the air like grown locus
I need to get focus
Money leads to the power
So I need to think of who I wanna devour
That's why I follow the science of the greats
Like Rome in Greece until my plan is complete
That's what it's about
Money, power and clout
I'll never understand why people say it's a drought
All you gotta do is exploit the have-nots
They'll spend what they have to try to get what you've got
Over tax people
Even charge them some interest
Then throw in a governor claimin' that he'll fix it
From rags to riches and riches to world dominance
This is my revelation as I'm makin' my profits
The green

[Chorus]:
"My green"
Money
"Oh green"
Get paper
"My green"
Dollars
"Oh green"
Take over
"My green"
Power
"Oh green"
Trust no one
"My jealous mark"
"My green"
Money
"Oh green"
Get paper
"My green"
Dollars
"Oh green"
Take over
"My green"
Power
"Oh green"
Trust no one
"My jealous mark"

[Verse Three]:
Yo, Visa, Discover, Mastercard Express
I wanna be the best that's why I dress to impress
Never settle for less in my quest for the dividends
Cause I divide and conquer for positioning
Money is the root of evil as I was told
So I invest in the media to control
I'm out for the globe
I need them natural resources like diamonds in Sierra Leone
Afgan opium
Oil from Arabia
Everything Columbian
Underpaid labor men
Why you think we make more laws and more prisons
It's the biggest business in this country we live in
The good ol' American dream is what we strive for
Even if we gotta go and take lives for it
This is reality brought to you from a live poet
Cause for the almighty dollar is my prime focus

[Chorus]:
"My green"
Money
"Oh green"
Get paper
"My green"
Dollars
"Oh green"
Take over
"My green"
Power
"Oh green"
Trust no one
"My jealous mark"
"My green"
Money
"Oh green"
Get paper
"My green"
Dollars
"Oh green"
Take over
"My green"
Power
"Oh green"
Trust no one
"My jealous mark"
