Money is good
Money can feed
Money is God
Money can bleed
Money satisfies
Money sacrifice
Money cries
Money lies
Give me what I need
Do what I please
Take this cash
And get on your knees
Beg and borrow
Lie for it
Work to the bone
But get your check
Money
What would you do for love?
Money
What would you do for love?
Money
Love is good
Love is sweet
But can your love
Buy me anything
Give me love
Give me fame
Put it in the bank
Then scream my name
Cash is king
Greed is queen
Love is money
Over everything
People will dance
People is cheat
People will kill
But Bitch pay me
Money
What would you do for love
Money
What would you do for love?
Money
What would you do for love?
Money
What would you do for love?
Money
Money
Money
We live in a world
Where people don't care
How they achieve success
Whether crooked or fair
We all want the fame
All the glam
But what's the price we pay
For the program
Money
What would you do for love
Money
What would you do for love?
Money

What We Want

We don't care about what we do
So blinded by light we can’t see truth
We don’t care about human beings
We only care about being seen
What we want
What we want
What we want
We can’t have
Can doctors operate on third eyes
Can pyramids help us see inside
We can point to our origin
But are we helping our brethren
What we want
What we want
What we want
We can’t have
Confused by how I feel sometimes
I wake up overwhelmed with lies
I see it on computer screens and maybe my phone
So many people throwing words we can condone
I wonder if people will open up and see
There is so much beauty hidden inside of each
One of us on this earth. Why can’t we all believe
A change is what is needed. A change that we can see.

Look at these hands
They shaped the whole world
You’re looking at magic
Look at these legs
Look at these thighs
Holding up the whole world
But you can’t handle it
They tell us we’re ugly
They tell us we should be ashamed
But we escaped their grasp
Didn’t wait and ask
We’re not afraid
When you got it
You got it
You can’t lose it
You’re born in
Black Girl Magic
Black Girl Magic
When you got it
You got it
You can’t lose it
You’re born in
Black Girl Magic
Black Girl Magic
I look at your heart
You got so much on your plate
You need an escape
I can see the beauty
Beyond those bags under your eyes
You will find a way
The bills keep coming
But they’re all paid
Cuz you slaved away
You’re appreciated
When you got it
You got it
You can’t lose it
You’re born in
Black Girl Magic
Black Girl Magic
When you got it
You got it
You can’t lose it
You’re born in
Black Girl Magic
Black Girl Magic
And I never back down
I always walk tall
Got my sisters by my side
Every time I fall
I never thought I’d win
Didn’t know where to begin
But I’m shooting for three points
Every morning
You can hate on my lips
You can hate on my thighs
It won’t affect me
No matter how much you despise
I came up from the bottom
And I’m heading toward the top
And I’m picking up more Black Girls
Each and every stop
Recognize your beauty
Keep on dreaming those dreams
Don’t give up you’re on the right track
Don’t give up don’t look back
Recognize your beauty
Keep on dreaming those dreams
Don’t give up you’re on the right track
Don’t give up don’t look back
When you got it
You got it
You can’t lose it
You’re born in
Black Girl Magic
Black Girl Magic
When you got it
You got it
You can’t lose it
You’re born in

I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
When Im on lenox Im stuck looking for your face
You still haunt me even though you should be erased
I've wasted too much time wishing for your heart
Should know by now we were meant to be apart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I get shudders as the redline hums your name
Im feeling silly cuz the blue line don't feel the same
Maybe in Brooklyn my heartbreak won't show
I need the D line to take me down another road.
I should leave this place and Replace the love you gave
Pick up my heart and find my renaissance another way.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
When we first met
I never thought I would get into you
The smirk on your face
Reminiscent of so many men from the block
Catapulted me into disdain
You were no different but eventually I wanted you to be
A million men march down Broadway with the same swag as you
The same smile as you
The same shoes even
And As jazzy as you think you are
My soul can't take anymore of your rhythm
Go back to the club rats who hound you
Stand in the street and pray for jays with you
Play your games with you
But you should remember
They will never have your back
Because only queens can do that
And queens ain't Harlem
So I guess I should go now
Rejuvenate my dying heart that had me inside myself too many Harlem nights
Why don't you love me is not a question I'll ask myself anymore
Love is not a reason to lower myself anymore
Love is not a reason to settle anymore
And I love my blackness but Harlem ain't its mecca anymore so I guess I'll be leaving soon.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.

This album picks up where the "bold school" circa 1989 sound left off. Insistent drums, layered loops, precise scratches, with the three MCs frantic flows dosed by DAISY-age whimsy. The anti-gentrification theme is explored without heavy handed rhetoric, opting instead for a triple narrative arc, "album as city" approach that rewards repeated listens. These artists do a lot in under 30 minutes, and the sequencing and transitioning is the icing. Cop it, the proceeds go to a good cause.
