Her name, seems to slip my mind
5
but her face is stuck in my brain
6
Can vaguely remember the day we met, see it had rained
7
the road over, on Soppovada was wet
8
And my car wasn't, huggin the terrain
9
So there I came into her lane
10
I was to blame but stopped my headlight in the front
11
'cause I ran into her back
12
But she didn't, over-react, 'cause her cruiser wasn't even scratched

14
by a tender, oh yeah now I remember
15
Vanessa from Maryland, aggressive and tanned
16
It was December, of '94 and she was finding O attractive

Lookin like an actress, skilled in the art of macktress
18
She asked if I was cool, I said "Sure
19
but damn I fell like manure because baby I ain't insured"
20
Her reply - "Poor baby, don't worry, I understand
21
but man makes the money, money never makes the man

She said
23
[Hook x2]
24
Man makes the money, money never makes the man

8-50i, no more sess highs, strictly chronic and thai
31
Rolled in place in a gold cigarette case
32
Liquorice papers for sweeter taste, my pockets was laced
33
with big head Benjamins, crushed in cinnamon, linen and black Gators
34
Platinum, chains, rings and bracelets
35
Found out she was a mule for the Mob
36
Had plans to rob, and wanted me in on the job
37
Bust this, disgusted, one night in the middle of sex
38
She asked O-Press - "Are you down for this?"
39
And I said "YES! Baby yes!", ugh
40
I must confess it was a bit risky this way
41
But when she hugged and kissed me, uhh, I didn't care
42
Got to the point I didn't even wear underwear
43
'cause she would want it everywhere and anywhere
44
(Man makes the money, money never makes the money)
45
[Hook w/ variations x2]
46
The matriarch was established, we was after the cabbage
47
To continue livin lavish she had a plan - hit her ex-man
48
for three hundred grand, I just put him to sleep

51
So on Friday when he received loot, I walked in and proceeded to shoot

54
Stashed up and shit, shot to the designated spot
55
at the designated time, she was late I had to wait
56
Escalated my mind to stop the shakes
57
I had just shot niggas up, like a scene out of Carlito's Way
58
She walked in around ten
59
I was in the corner with my 9 sayin "I thought eight was the time
60
we had agreed upon" but I noticed she was nervous
61
I said "What's goin on?", that's when she blurted
62
"??? heard about the Mob, how we did it, the money - give it
63
Trust me baby, I'll be back in a minute"
64
Then she kissed me on my face, grabbed me up under my waist
65
and left, I sat for three hours and still not a trace
66
Soft nigga, I got the seventeen, I'ma just dip
67
That's when the cops showed up, talkin bout an anonymous tip
68
They got the dirty cookers and the pure uncooked

But remember, the lips of strange women, soft like honeycomb
84
Her mouth drippin in poison oil
