Smart Money
Intro)
Yeah, mi hear di tune, flow tight, no dispute...
But when yuh break down di lines, the message nuh sound cute.
Bad information fi di yout' dem weh look route...
Time fi talk real money, mek we straighten out.
(Chorus)
Yuh ah talk money and killing inna the same sentence...
But di only thing yuh killing is yuh own future reference.
Instead of investing inna bullet, invest in the shares...
That's a return weh guarantee no tears.
Real badman nuh fear di market, dem conquer it...
TopTier mentality, yuh betta don't ignore it.
(Verse 1)
Him a talk 'bout "bloodstains" and "di scheme"...
I talk 'bout compound interest, a di ultimate dream.
Yuh ah buy "grains" fi buss man head? A foolish plan...
Mi buy grains like wheat and corn, a di stock market scan.
Him seh "lock di business without di suit"...
Mi business inna Wall Street, inna a three-piece suit.
It nuh sound right? A because it right and tight...
Building an empire inna the broad daylight.
No police, no warrant, no case to face...
Just quarterly reports weh show financial grace.
(Verse 2)
To the yout' dem coming up, hear di lesson clear:
A gunshot can mute a man, but debt can mute a generation from fear.
Yuh idolize di killer weh drive di coupe?
Start idolize di investor weh own the route.
"Cock up Christine" — a temporary thrill...
But owning property pon di hill? That's the real.
Dem ah shake money tree? A slow, risky method...
Mi plant a seed stock, watch it grow without the threat.
Yuh "rich blood" dilute when it spill out on the street...
My wealth multiplies, and the legacy can't be beat.
(Outro)
So yeah, flow tight, but the message is flawed...
Time fi upgrade the software, mi G.
Mek we teach the yout' dem 'bout assets and bonds...
Stop glorifying the grave and start building the ponds.
TopTier talking. Nuh argument.
Smart money move in silence. Invest.*
