8. Filthy Rich
V1:
you're gonna make waves if you take a stance, but die prolific/
a tone of them wait to watch me drop but I've persisted/
Guantanamo Bay is where they want my life to visit/
for wave making, but I only fear the waves from Oceanside Pacific/
they'll challenge you, channel insecurities and count on dismantling you/
to believe you're a foolish ideological product sounding outlandish/
but you're talented and its that time no more silence don't panic/
destiny's calling you answer the line/
BRIDGE:
so hold your head/
when they do not understand you when you're trying to take a stand/
remember they fed Daniel to the Lions/
so hold your head/
when they deem you sensitive because you're not like them/
remember they're just frightened, because they ain't been enlightened/
so hold your head/
with a slighted grin, smile and you decide within/
how you win with him, your value doesn't lie with them/
you know your worth isn't vein, no your worth doesn't stain/
no, your worth is the same, I know I'm worth risen pain/
HOOK:
I'm filthy Rich/
money makes a man when a man is worth his weight/
I'm filthy rich/
money makes a man and the man outweighs a freight/
I'm filthy rich/
money makes a man when a man is worth his weight/
filthy rich/ (4x)
I'm filthy rich/
something like I'm gold (shut your lips)/
I'm filthy rich/
stunting on these pros (shut your lips)/
I'm filthy rich/
buying all this, stunting like I'm, fronting like I'm/
I'm filthy rich/
V2:
forgive my bold confessionist tone/
but man cannot live on possessions alone/
and in the end when my profession is gone/
what will they say of my progression at home/
(2X)
they'll tell me "beautify sacrifice", the duty and task? A suitable cat to write/
the stories of the glory and victorious movement to maximize the facts of life from black to white I scouted it/
attacked the fight I'm proud of it, while these cats are so out of it/
they just want the same thing, I just want to change things/
the pain of those who in chains arrange to chain the pain until pain leaves/
insanely, crazy enough to think that the world can flip its mind/
when I spit these rhymes and I kick these lines, it simply time to change things/
BRIDGE:
so hold your head/
when they do not understand you when you're trying to take a stand/
remember they fed Daniel to the Lions/
so hold your head/
when they deem you sensitive because you're not like them/
remember they're just frightened, because they ain't been enlightened/
so hold your head/
with a slighted grin, smile and you decide within/
how you win with him, your value doesn't lie with them/
you know your worth isn't vein, no your worth doesn't stain/
no, your worth is the same, I know I'm worth risen pain/
HOOK:

filthy rich/ (4x)

I'm filthy rich/

I'm filthy rich/

I’ve been rockin Ozay Moore’s music since Lightheaded and I still find it some of the best to listen to. I can’t get enough boom nap, especially with a central theme of Christ and his faithfulness in the life of Ozay Moore. It also features some dope artists on this one. The intro is one of the best introductions to an album I’ve heard, and I don’t say that lightly. Each track is its own thing, yet blending well together. It’s overall just dope! Macklyn
