What's up y'all it's been a while since I posted some of my rhymes, I haven't really had much time to write that much new material but I came across this song in my rhyme book and figured I'd share it with y'all, Enjoy y'all: :1-say-yes: “When You Have No Money” Written By Big Ted Intro(3X): You don't need a degree to see That the world evolves around money Nothing's free Verse One: No matter where you travel It all comes down to economic matters You gotta have the cash flow 'Cause you need a plan to grow In order to get a hand full of doe Nobody's gonna help you out When you have money problems found Everybody tries to hurt you now 'Cause you can't buy thing that're expensive And don't worry, you'll get dissed By those you thought they were your friends They have no affection, don't depend on them Y'all know hoes only wanna french kiss If you go and buy them necklaces But don't buy into it I'll give them some French With me it's more like, “Non merci beaucoup” You know how I'm not interested in you If you give that point of view That's the way I interpret it A lot of peopl play to blurt out a diss If you don't own this Or you don't wear that I can't no longer bear that Fools always act like they got it all Until the day where their stock falls And they ain't got nothin' at all Everything appears all great Until you forget to save for rainy days Chorus: When you have no money You'll see who's your friend They might just be after your money And when the day you don't have any You won't see many of them You'll won't see many of them You'll see that you don't need them In order to survive, you need to have money If you want to stay alive, it comes down to economics In this life it comes down to economics Verse Two: All around this world People are dying of hunger And tonight many wonder If they'll find any shelter To go under When it's cold in the street And they have nothin' to eat Yet we see punks worry 'Bout buying new And-1's every week While others are dying of disease Even diseases like HIV Could be avoided in places like Africa But nobody pays funds to teach them 'Bout the aftermath of it So the morality's jet When there's nobody to teach them about safe sex At least in America there's opportunity We're better off than many countries A lot of us take for granted All the opportunitys we have But in this generation It's all about immitation Rather than innovation 'Cause if we don't dress like celebrities We see on television People will believe that there's something Wrong if you don't blend in With all of the bling-bling And you can't afford it Many people act like they're better Than you, if they're more rich And you get depressed [Repeat Chorus] Verse Three: When you're parents ain't ever home Nobody's teaching you right from wrong So you'll believe that there's nothin' wrong With going on the streets hustling 'Cause you don't feel loving And you're sick and tired of being picked on When you can't buy that s*** to floss Nobody wants to be your dog And girls grow up Also seein' no love and needin' some bucks So they decide to be prostitutes They need a way to find money after dropping out of school Then babies get born In a society more scorn A lot of things can be so wrong There's reality in the flow of the song 'Cause I see this on the news All this makes confused I know 1st hand 'cause I never went on a vacation beyond America I can't afford the Bahamas Growing up, I barely had enough I couldn't buy rich clothes And I ended up getting dissed by hoes When I let their lies show That I rather protect my doe When I get it, y'all don't look out for me Your parents are rich so you wanna party And not study at your college dormitory Since I've been poor, knowledge is the only thing that I get going for me 'Cause I know that it'll bring me more money Then I'll see that people will wanna be knowin' me Like The Lox said, pwer and respect come from money And I don't wanna die from poverty, 'cause you see... [Repeat Chorus]

Will already shot the "Party Starter" video too so it's 'bout to drop soon, everyone chill! :kool:

FUQ and Fan4ever "Contact Time" :jazzy:

Such a laid back track, I'm feeling it! :1-say-yes:

Wasn't there a Jazzy Jeff remix to "I Wish I Made That/Swagga"? I think that should on a B-side to "Party Starter" unless it's gonna be on Jazzy Jeff's CD when it comes out.

Damn if I knew 'bout this I'd drove up to NY to try to be in the video, oh well, it'd be nice if it was true, I hope it gets released soon! :2thumbs:

It'd be nice if Will did some remixes and was featured on some more tracks but he's been that involved in music now as he was back when he came out in the '80s and released albums every year but back in the days there weren't that much remixes and features on songs, every hip-hop artists basically did there own songs, most of those albums from back then had no guest appearances, which actually was pretty effective 'cause a lot of collabos now don't blend that well together, I wouldn't mind if Will did a few of them, but he doesn't need much exposure 'cause he's a household name already, cats should be asking to collaborate with him, he shouldn't have to ask to be on anyone's song, but maybe if he was more of a gangsta, since he disses gangsta rappers, I don't think G Unit or D-12 would wanna collaborate with him, more would wanna collab with him if he was since most commercial rappers are gangsta rappers, he should collab with independent mcs and more ol' school rappers that're still making albums under the radar instead of doing a song with 50 Cent or Ja Rule. :thumbsdown:

I say the Spurs are gonna sweep the Suns tonight and the Pistons might bounce back to win tomorrow night, but I think the Heat'll eventually win the series when Shaq is the most dominant player in the NBA and it shows since he's he's playing well now even he's hurt.

There's no release date set for his album yet? That was the problem he had with sales of his last album, he released his album about a year after his 1st single, not many have success doing that.

I liked "So Much More" better than this song, this song's annoying to me, Fat Joe made a mistake workin' with Nelly. :thumbsdown: I think "Party Starter"'ll easily blow this song away or people have bad taste! :pony:

Wow this made my holiday weekend! :jazzy:

I'm in there now if anyone wants to join me. :1-say-yes:

Yeah that chatroom's dope! :jazzy:

Awesome read! :1-say-yes: :2thumbs:

Nice wordplay there, you're steppin' your game up!

You put a lot of heart into that, very thought provoking, nice job! :2thumbs:

:yeahthat: Ludacris could be a hype man like Flava Flav for the video and it's gotta be a big budget video like "Miami"!

BDP feat. Heavy D, MC Lyte, Doug E. Fresh, Public Enemy, Kool Moe Dee, Stetsasonic, and Just-Ice "Self Destruction"

when it comes to his solo joints: "Big Willie Style"-10.1/10 "Lost and Found"-10/10(only time'll tell if I'll like it better than "Big Willie Style") "Willenium"-9.5/10 "Born To Reign"-7/10

There should be a club scene in this video like LL's "Headsprung" along with classic JJFP footage! :2thumbs:

"Party Starter" does have to be released soon, the weather's getting nice out now, that'd be a fitting way to usher in the summer. :jazzy: btw, I actually agree with what mimi's saying there somewhat 'cause I don't think Will would diss 50 Cent in a video or any rapper for that matter since he doesn't do that even though we wouldn't mind if he did, he might even have some of those wack rappers in the video as cameos, but as long as he doesn't have them rap on a remix, that's ok with me.

I saw this video yesterday, one of the most creative music videos I've seen in a long time! :2thumbs:

:yeahthat: :1-say-yes:

Hall of fame artists don't make mediocre album at worst, they make average albums at worst which is what "Born To Reign" is, just an average album, the title track, "Momma Knows", "1000 Kisses", and "Block Party" are good enough to give it at least a 5 rating, all of his other albums including JJFP albums are between 8s and 10s though.

Hey I agree with that the most part, but "Born To Reign" a 1.3? Only Nelly and 50 Cent albums would get that low of a rating, I'd give "Born To Reign" at least a 5 /no higher than a 7 'cause there were some good songs on there, it wasn't totally wack.
