Time is Money

Latin X 1967 (Philadelphia)

Rhymed
You’ve got but one chance to work with
me.
After that don’t bother me.
My time is precious, my craft is expensive.

Time is money, sweet like honey.
Give me my sweet treat then you can lay my rhymes to a beat, but for now take a seat.

I have no more time to speak.
Money talks your game is weak.
I recommend you take a seat.

Serious inquiries only.
Some people are phony.
