Money

[Verse One]

In the world system we all need money now that's a given

For many reasons cribs to live in that's a given

But what is makin' me sick is the greed

How we have confused the two of which is a desperate need

You've got Jesus on the right side money on the left side

Check the steps that lead up to who is God in their lives

Cats is thrivin' to get rich, the entertainment industry is a quick fix

And I ain't sayin' there's somethin' wrong with aspirations and dreams

But have you checked lately the aspirations of teens

You got many youth that sell drugs for the love of money

Even internet scandals for the love of money

Even basketball handles for the love of money

Pure passion is clashin' with the love of money

To be a doctor is what they went to school for

To learn what to do, but the surgery is so expensive ask John Q

[Chorus]

If you insecure poor you gone be insecure rich

If you smoke weed poor you gone smoke weed rich

If you smack cats shot cats got flaps

Did it all poor you gone smack shoot flap all rich

[Verse Two]

I know you sick of bein' second like the B letter

So you think when you get cheddar your situation will be better

There's a great percentage of people that are truly convinced

All they need more of in life is dollars and cents

Money can't fix all your problems dawg I see how you strive

You spend all of your energy and all of your time

Since I love you dawg it's not worth it

Ask a rapper with a Benz is his life perfect

Ask a married man that's rich is his wife perfect

Ask a pastor that's prosperous is his church perfect

Not at all so either way dawg we all still feel pain

And either way without Jesus you gone still meet flame

If not the hell fire then you might meet me

To hear these words that you might just see

Your opportunity to follow Jesus

Guaranteed rich people can't pay enough to succeed Jesus

[Chorus]

If you insecure poor you gone be insecure rich

If you smoke weed poor you gone smoke weed rich

If you smack cats shot cats got flaps

Did it all poor you gone smack shoot flap all rich

[Verse Three]

Bein' a millionaire is just as common as bein' hot in the summer

So many now playin' lottery numbers

I tell God yo' we gotta be dumber and dumber

Like Jim Carrey and ol' boy in that funny movie

Like if we gain every dollar that has ever been printed

And live a life without Jesus and have never repented

That we gon' gain enough to pay for sin

Slip the gatekeeper a couple of tens, to open the gates and let us in

For the love of money is the root of all evil

This greed grows roots in people and then produces evil

Especially dishonest money, it takes on wings as eagles

So if the state don't take your property like Beanie Sigel

Remember Jesus sees you can't serve both God and money

Even if you goin' yummy cause you money hungry

Please remember this while you out there chasin' cheddar

Money don't make you better

[Chorus x2]
