It's all about the risk for the payout
I keep Good Friends around who don't need clout
It's not about the salary it's all about reality
It's all for one and one for all or stay out

They want to see a different side of me
then say somethin, anything, to anyone that rides with me
i got the love in my heart and what that means to me
is everything that's opposite i kill it with a savagery
i hope that gives some imagry to why
i run with packs like a wolf and like some eagles we fly
we're eager like the fabled rabbit to win any race
but patient like a tortoise we all pick our own pace
I'm sure you've heard that fable from the good homie Aesop
see when you're talking bout friends there's no such thing as time or space
and it's all for one and one embrace if we win or loose
I'd rather have my friends than 1st place if I had to choose
If you're rollin down the highway bumpin good friends than look my way
if you're in the club show me some love & lets get sideways
But I don't mean mug cuz a smile tastes great
I'm in control of my life, my day, this moment and my fate.

It's all about the risk for the payout

I got a couple of good friends and my family
and I would never trust another living soul outside my family tree
the industry is shady and it's never really honest
so i'll spread a little truth, i'm just trying to pay my homage
and I promise, I will never back up off it
and i'll never sacrifice my word just to turn a profit
I might have to lost my job, end up with an empty wallet
but pursing a dream and I finally found my calling
I take a risk in the morning but i'll deal with it later
but it might come back to get me
and it might come back this evening
but least I got my good friends with me
so i'm not rollin solo
we got no time to waste - tryin to get around the whole globe
HA - we takin over this place
Team Shells, Engineers, and Eclipse all on one page
I have to say that i'm feelin good today
that i'm livin a reality not based on pay
