All Good Things - K Rino

All money ain’t good money but when you got it be smart

Somebody said a fool and his money are destined to part

Two cats started out with no paper, came up with a scheme

Hit the streets and started hustling and stacking up green

They gained power and respect in only two quick years

Accumulated strong connections, the streets was theirs

Stayed focused on the business side, respected the hustle

One represented the brains, the other one was the muscle

But bad moves put the whole operation in danger

Bringing women in the mix and doing business with strangers

And guess who it was slipping and supposed to be brains

Violating some of the major principles of the game

His homeboy tried to tell him that he was gettin' too wild

Showboating and getting addicted to that fast lifestyle

Rule one: when you put in work, never discuss it

Got infiltrated by a female undercover and busted

No matter what you try to do, no matter what you say

Whether people or materials, nothing can stay

In due time, every situation fades away

Understand that all good things will end one day

No matter what you try to do, no matter what you say

Whether people or material, nothing can stay

In due time, every situation fades away

Understand all good things will end one day

Second case…

Been with your man for a year now and you think he the one

Living together five months, even accepted his son

He was working when you met him, doing good with his life

And you could picture being introduced to folks as his wife

But then a side of him you never seen started to show

You found yourself teaching him things a man should already know

He lost his job and started falling off but she didn’t clown

He laid around the house but she steady was holding it down

Now y’all relationship is cursed, you was glad at first

Hoping he’d changed back but things going from bad to worse

Don’t wanna leave him ‘cause you love him and you’re comfortable with him

But every other week you gots to call the laws to come get him

Now when she finally let him go, mentally she was done

Judging every man she meet now off the actions of one

Baby, refocus and be patient and God’ll reveal one

View the time you spent with him as preparation for your real one

No matter what you try to do, no matter what you say

Whether people or materials, nothing can stay

In due time, every situation fades away

Understand that all good things will end one day

No matter what you try to do, no matter what you say

Whether people or material, nothing can stay

In due time, every situation fades away

Understand all good things will end one day

Third case…

Mama was down from day one, a real queen on the throne

Gave you life and raised you up until the day you was grown

And even then if you was struggling, she gave you a hand

Instilled every quality in you that made you a man

She was your nurse, your counselor, lifted you when you was down

Even managed to make you hard when daddy wasn’t around

Yeah she spoiled you a little bit but never spared the rod

And was the first one to ever introduce you to God

You didn’t understand that life was too deep to sleep

The most important people in our life we play ‘em for cheap

Until one day, you looked around and mama was gone

And that safety net no longer there to fall back on

You never thought about tomorrow, you just looked at today

Ungrateful for God’s gift, so he took it away

And it was good while it lasted through your life’s endeavor

Whether people, love or money, nothing lasts forever

No matter what you try to do, no matter what you say

Whether people or materials, nothing can stay

In due time, every situation fades away

Understand that all good things will end one day

No matter what you try to do, no matter what you say

Whether people or material, nothing can stay

In due time, every situation fades away

Understand all good things will end one day
