Think and Grow Rich

from By This Time Next Year by Jet 2

/

about

The concept of becoming who you believe yourself to be is still foreign to many of my peers, especially coming from neighborhoods where the culture and state of life is gang violence and taking from others for personal gain. Think and Grow Rich is reiterating the concept that true wealth comes from the state of mind you keep over an extended period of time. "You were born rich."

lyrics

[Intro]
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why yeah
Please don't tell me how to spend it
You are not my maker

[Chorus]
Please don't tell me how to spend it
You are not my maker
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why
Yeah, why
I had to dream riches
Before I ever seen riches
Ask my team, I just
Had to bring my whole team riches
Gotta think and grow rich
Gotta think and grow rich
Gotta think and grow rich
Gotta think and grow rich

[Verse 1]
And that's word to Napoleon
I been feelin' rich since Nickelodeon
Watchin' Mick Foley tryna figure mankind out
Plottin' on a billion sittin' in time-out
Oh, you didn't know me then
I had to sit up on my cousin' shoulder
Just to see Kobe them
At the parade, I was growing then
Didn't realize I was growing rich

[Chorus]
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why yeah
Please don't tell me how to spend it
You are not my maker

[Verse 2]
We were born rich, that's big facts
Tell 'em bring a trilli', let me count that
On ten toes, no tic tacs
But them number signs lookin' like my six pack
Aye
This year, I need all racks
Tell the nation reparations, all that
Niggas bangin' on each other, better fall back
Time for some shit bigger than all that

[Chorus]
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why yeah
Please don't tell me how to spend it
You are not my maker
I had to dream riches
Before I ever seen riches
Ask my team, I just
Had to bring my whole team riches
Gotta think and grow rich
Gotta think and grow rich
Gotta think and grow rich
Gotta think and grow rich

[Outro]
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why
If I'm silly with my riches, you know why yeah (why)
Please don't tell me how to spend it
You are not my maker
Why
