Michael Fredo Lyrics – Wale

[Intro]
Money trees grew from the root of evil

[Verse 1]
Look, money trees grew from the root of evil
Making peace with who I gave my seed to
I don’t like it, but she gotta do what she do
Fu*k, hunger strikes, I ain’t feeding egos, look
God got me, so what could stop me?
Maybe a white wife and the paparazzi
Look, she was lightskin and that’s just how I like ’em
But them online comments made a toxic environment, look

Every since then, I been on my own
Mama said I really need a wife, though
First ten, I was weathering storms
My second wind, I’m finna be a cyclone, ayy
A lot of faking, a lot of biting, uh
A lot of gatekeepers be entitled, uh
I’m out the way, I’m just being quiet
But too many Fredo n!ggas thinking they—

[Verse 2]
Money trees got me under the shade
Name ring, fu*k a fu*king bouquet
Went to war, came back and s*it has changed
I’m afraid this how villains is made
I’m surveying the salutations
I’m surfing through it, don’t care who wavy
This rich and famous s*it ain’t sustainable
Know that Doug Davis, my Tommy hating
Party, I count paper, y’all count favors
But know it’s family over most
I know it’s family that’ll snake
Losing sanity while I’m tryna cope
Either way, it’s dark and I’m all alone
On my sunny days, down with my bros
N!ggas lie on name and stay afloat
