M-O-N-E-Y
You can't take it with ya when ya die
A lot of people love you, I wonder why
The root of all evil's in your eye
Airplanes in the sky
I sit back and watch 'em fly
I can't touch 'em, they too high
But then again, so am I
E-S-H-A-M
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am
I work hard every day and I get paid, I am
Just a man
And I only need one woman holding my hand
On my own two feet is whereI stand
If I land in the Heaven's, it's the Lord's plans
I never needed no stacks and bands
Lord have mercy for the weak
'Cause they don't even talk you, y'all need to speak
They just follow all the rules like sheep
I was in the ocean with the sharks swimming deep, peep
Everybody talking in they sleep
Everybody talking money, but it ain't cheap
Everybody hungry talking about they eat
Everybody selling dope, but it ain't none on the street
Money didn't matter yesterday
A money don't matter tonight
Money so funny, money think money
Gon' save his life, but money ain't right
Money, the root of all evil, like
Money got you your wife
Money make you happy, money make you sad
But money couldn't save your dad
Or your mom
Or save you from that car crash
Money
Coming out your ass
Money, money, money, throw it in the air
Money, you act like you don't care
But money, you funny
Everybody know you don't share
Man made money, now money makes man
But it's just a few things that I don't understand
Money is just a piece of paper
When you got money, you became a hater
Money can't buy you respect, money can't buy you love
Money can't buy you none of the things you thinking of
But money can buy you drugs, guns, and some slugs
So do us all a favor and go out with a buzz
Money don't make your problems go away
Money don't guarantee you another day
Don't play with money 'cause money don't play
Hard work pay off, and crime don't play
I'm not trying to say that 'cause I'm trying to be square
I'm from the future, and I wanna see you there
Where the skies all blue there
Where they don't tell lies, 'cause everybody true there
And even you there
And all my people, hallelujah
We need some new there
That same old same, it just won't do yeah
Money don't matter, money don't matter
To the mother lost a baby when the stray bullets scatter
Money don't matter on Judgement Day
For all the sins you committed this life you still gotta pay
Money, the root of all evil
Money, the root of all evil
Money, the root of all evil
Money, the root of all evil
