Money's Just A Touch Away - Mack 10

featuring Gerald Levert 

[Mack 10] 
This song is dedicated 
to all the up and coming rappers  singers  hustlers  actors 
Whatever you may be remember: 
without no struggle  you get no progress 
So keep grindin  keep on mashin  get yours 

Chorus: Gerald Levert 

You're nothin far from comin up (keep on) 
Money's just a touch away (keep on) 
So keep on grindin don't give it up (keep on) 
There'll always be another day (keep on) 

[Mack 10] 
And now I'm sittin at the pad, teary eyed and depressed 
Starvin and sufferin from mental stress 
Now a true center to the game of beginner 
but hard to feel like a winner when you eat spreads for dinner 
Hit the streets late night in the form of star mushin 
On the 211 mission just to pay tuition 
For my kids I got to grind and develop street saavy 
Servin stress cause I just ain't got enough to cop cavi 
But I can't stop, I won't stop, til I got it made 
Either build my clientele, get a job or learn a trade 
like hip-hop, and make enough to live good forever 
So I learned to write the rhymes and get my metaphors together 
Then I joined a rap crew, with the homies on my street 
Sellin underground tapes out the local swap meet 
Gettin tighter on the mic, as I worked day to day 
So now I lay down at night, and I hear voices say, "Mack" 

Chorus 

[Mack 10] 
Now I'm new to the scene, H as in Hard, N as in Nympho 
So like EPMD, could you _Please Listen to My Demo?_ 
I left the local crew, felt like I was the man 
In popular demand and now ready for SoundScan 
So I searched for a deal with no luck I kept rappin 
Felt like it would take a miracle to make it all happen
