Take the Money and Run - Steve Miller Band

Sinkin or swimmin is what we were told We were young But no one told Us how it was done Spendin your days in a way but you know it's begun Take what you got Take it and run So hot got her reachin' for the sunblock She like my style and the swag She hopes it rubs off I ain't here to waste time You know the man back Best advice I can give is to stand back Got the east south west north feeling it Bit the kers shit they like me on my killer shit My black belly in a Back alley Fuck that Imma talk 'bout money wit a bud bag Cruisin one deep, Havin conversations You think I'm tripping This my way of concentration I ain't listen to a hater Not in any way I'm a busy man, you see me know I'm getting paid I ain't like these other rappers I'm the opposite My boys are renting houses just to put the crops in it Ride around got a street mentality Hustle big you can meet fatalities Got a flow impecable You know in what the kers does The scene needed saving They lucky that I turned up I heard em all say "No body perfect" I agree but I gotta say kers is Moved out of c town when I got funds But every single hood there I'm still welcome That's a different Shit you know I'm certified Jealous haters spewin' They were hoping that the kerser died Own in the world in the world in my own That deserves a replay I'm in a world on my own With the writing and delivery Man you cunts are kidding me I got rich off this shit this is mine and that is literally I was rappin round the time I got my first pube I could tell you 'bout my best and my worst move I could tell you 'bout the beefs that I been through But I never lost once so I don't need to Fucken hell let me try stay positive You said you promise her you known what her promise is? Setting levels every time I go and pen bars Sickest Aussie rapper Man I know I set the bench mark Gotta get it any second man the clock stop Still confused this is life at the top scott Done the proper way too like you didn't know Don't compare me to a rapper this is different bro You feel the goosebumps rise off my low tone Gifted Haters acting like that don't know 'Member me in the drain for my film clip Swapping shirts with strays? That was real shit Beat the struggle with my brothers and we all tight I don't care if they talk man, they all lie What they own man I'm tired of me braggin My pockets full if my pants ever saggin' Get the vibe check your mates if they don't know You'll find the ones that wanna stay Won't go Kers one droppn hits for like ten years How the fuck else do you think that you get here Take it and run you can't trust the streets You can't trust who you trust Put trust in me Sinkin' or swimmin I'm driftin n driftin They listen n listen The sickest I did it again Sinkin or swimmin is what we were told We were young But no one told Us how it was done Spendin your days in a way but you know it's begun Take what you got Take it and run

Everyone has choice When to or not to raise their voices It's you that decides Which way you will turn While feeling that our love's not your concern It's you that decides No one around you Will carry the blame for you No one around you Will love you today and throw it all away Tomorrow when you rise Another day for you to realize me Or send me down again As the days stand up on end You've got me wondering how I lost your friendship But I see it in your eyes Though I'm beside you I can't carry the lame for you I may decide to Get out with your blessing Where I'll carry on guessing How high will you leap Will you make enough for you to reap it? Only you'll arrive At your own made end With no one but yourself to be offended It's you that decides

You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all All of my money You can take it all Looking at the sky, waiting for the rain Waiting for this guy To call me back again And I don't really want to know why you're really popping off I guess that you forgot that's what I really want for you I think you know I know it's true You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all Saving all my dimes, for a rainy day If you don't have the time Then let me walk away And I don't really want to know why you get to sleep at night And everything is fine You do it all the time, it's true And then there's nothing I can do You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all As far as you're concerned you don't owe me anything As far as you're concerned You don't owe me anything As far as I'm concerned I don't owe you anything As far as I'm concerned I don't owe you anything You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all, all of my money You can take it all

Somebody broke me once Love was a currency A shimmering balance act I think that I laughed at that And I saw your face and hands Coloured in sun and then I think I understand Will I understand? Will we fight, stay up late? In my dreams I'm to blame Different sides of the bed Roll your eyes, shave my head Now we're stuck in the storm We were born to ignore And all I got is a chance to just sit (I'm in love and you've got me, runaway) You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Don't take the money I slept on my own those nights Was still in my parents house And I cut off my t-shirt sleeves And claim a new continent 'Til I saw your face and hands Covered in sun and then I think I understand Will I understand? Will we fight, stay up late? In my dreams I'm to blame Different sides of the bed Roll your eyes, shake my head Now we're stuck in the storm We were born to ignore And all I got is a chance to just sit (I'm in love and you've got me, runaway) You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Don't take the money You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Don't take the money When you're looking for your shadow Standing on the edge of yourself Praying on the darkness Just don't take the money Dreaming of an easy Waking up without weight now And you're looking at the heartless Just don't take the money You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Well, don't take the money (I'm in love and you've got me, runaway) You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money
