this is a story of a kid,his name is cisko[00:00:24]
who made more money than the count of monte crisco[00:00:27]
he lived a lavish style of life-fast money,women,cars[00:00:30]
and he liked to frequent bars, pubs and disco's[00:00:34]
made his livin' as a world famous rap star[00:00:37]
when he first started mic respect's what he was after[00:00:39]
and so he got inside his mind,day and night,and he'd write[00:00:42]
constantly his art and craft,he'd try to master[00:00:46]
started winnin' local battles and his rep grew[00:00:49]
gave his crew a reputation as the best crew[00:00:52]
and what life would do to him,all the cards that was hard[00:00:55]
pen and pad, stress relief would be his refuge[00:00:58]
paid his dues, doing shows,now he's on track[00:01:01]
in the lab,pumping demos,makin' songs fat[00:01:04]
then he quit his nine to five,finally his time arrived[00:01:07]
when he signed a major label record contract[00:01:10]
don't let money change ya[00:01:13]

his first single was a overnight success hit[00:01:38]
and now he went from wearing rags to the best fits[00:01:41]
all his new acquitances,gassed his head,takin' it[00:01:44]
to the point where he lost proper perspective[00:01:47]
started cuttin' off the people,he came up wit[00:01:50]
ego blown like his soul had been abducted[00:01:53]
though his heart was once real,now material has filled[00:01:56]
up his world,and he couldn't get enough of it[00:01:59]
used to wanna be the best of the rap dons[00:02:02]
now his only one concern is goin' platinum[00:02:05]
and his skills has since decreased and the inner hunger ceased[00:02:08]
now content,just as long as fame and cash come[00:02:11]
he's a big willie now, rappin' 'bout cars[00:02:14]
thousand dollar shoppin' sprees,hangin' out with stars[00:02:17]
i mean just a year ago, he was broke[00:02:20]
bummin' money,drinkin' out the 40 bottle,livin' outdoors[00:02:23]
don't let money change ya[00:02:26]

second l.p,my rap changes fast[00:02:51]
here today,gone tomorrow,now his label passed[00:02:54]
now the new poster boy with the hip now sound[00:02:57]
second time around everything isn't stable as[00:03:00]
it once was, now he's lookin' for the same hit[00:03:03]
but his sound is played,he forget to change wit[00:03:06]
them old hit rhymes, no one feelin' him[00:03:09]
his rhymes ain't appealin' anymore[00:03:11]
and his records ain't sellin' shit[00:03:13]
now he's dropped from his label and he's goin' broke[00:03:15]
tried the underground return ghetto pass revoked[00:03:18]
and the same faces that he dissed,on his way, to the top[00:03:21]
laughed as they watched him do the downstroke[00:03:25]
now the moral of the story is that some go[00:03:27]
why would money make the inner vision crumble?[00:03:30]
so if you're blessed with the talent,utilize it to the fullest[00:03:33]
be true to yourself and stay humble[00:03:37]
don't let money change ya[00:03:39]
