Make or Take lyrics

[Intro: Nine]

Man this world we live in

There's two to ways do everything

The right way and the wrong way

Thens there's the short way and the long way

But I'ma do my thing the Darc Mass way

I'm either gonna make it or I'ma take it

[Chorus: Smoothe Da Hustler]

I got to make something or I got to take something

Even if it comes down to hustling and pumping

I'ma do whatever to avoid the stormy weather

Got my act together either make or take

[Verse 1: Nine]

In the land of the free and the home of the brave

I still feel like a slave, my heart is dark like the bat cave

Don't cry, dry your eye

We all gon' die, but I'm gon' die fly

In the race the great paper chase

Money's the only thing that I'ma let you throw in my face

Corrupt political officials, speak the issues

And diss you, like used toilet tissue, I'ma miss you

When you fall into the flames it's the same games

With new names, and new gains

Same pains, and bloodstains propaganda

I want to smoke trees in a Havana, wearing a bandanna

At the Copacabana, swear to God I split a nigga like a banana

Over currencies or property ain't no stoppin' me

I'm building a monopoly now copy me

Each one teach one lessons of making and taking

Erasing, faking, and snaking, serious like a Jamaican

And I bring home the bacon daily, really

I never fake it, I got to make it, like it's sacred

Fuck around and I'ma take it

[Chorus: Smoothe Da Hustler] (x2)

I got to make something or I got to take something

Even if it comes down to hustling and pumping

I'ma do whatever to avoid the stormy weather

Got my act together either make or take

[Verse 2: Nine]

My hand raps around dollar bills sends chills

Down my spine like cheap wine, so I gotta get mine

All the time I rewind back to the days

When I realized sometimes crime pays

There's six million ways to die but only one to live

I need enough money to spend enough money to give

Cause I love my peeps and my peeps love me

And I refuse to see them living in poverty

I gotta be on point, I anoint myself savior with new flavor

Like Craig with my third eye I cried

Shed tears in the mind for being blind

Only thing left for me now is crime or rhyme

[Chorus: Smoothe Da Hustler] (x2)

I got to make something or I got to take something

Even if it comes down to hustling and pumping

I'ma do whatever to avoid the stormy weather

Got my act together either make or take

[Verse 3: Nine]

I refuse to lose similar to Chuck

Never bite the hand that feed you

Never bite the hand that buck, POW!

Now what! stuck in a maze with only one way out

Figure it out that's what life's about

Trail after trail, tribulation after tribulation

I want a black nation cause I'm sick of the plantation

No more picking cotton have you forgotten

We the kings and queens of this earth

Now roam in the rotten apple

Drinking Snapple, trying to get a little capital

Spend it like I'm crazy that's what rap will do

You got to maintain make sense out of what's insane

And stay on top of your game

Don't blame nobody but yourself for your lack of wealth

Times get hard get sneaky like a stealth

Make or take is the thesis

I want pieces of the pie gotta do or die

[Chorus: Smoothe Da Hustler] (x2)

I got to make something or I got to take something

Even if it comes down to hustling and pumping

I'ma do whatever to avoid the stormy weather

Got my act together either make or take
