|
Every day it gets harder
|
Just the cost of livin' pullin' me down
|
I try to stay above water
|
But these bills got me, 'bout to drown
|
|
I can't keep livin' this life
|
Robbed and beat up but still ...
|
I just been fightin' this fight
|
But I don't know what's the point of it all
|
|
I'll keep a positive mind
|
But it's hard to flow
|
When your cash is low
|
I'm workin' days and nights
|
Still I can't get up out of this hole
|
|
Because I gets paid on the first, paid on the last
|
And struggle all through the middle
|
Every month I gets paid on the first, paid on the last
|
And struggle all through the middle
|
|
M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me
|
Ain't nothin' movin' 'cause I keep losin'
|
M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me
|
Ain't nothin' movin' 'cause I keep losin'
|
|
They make us know that they own us
|
Though I swear it's more than slavery
|
They give each other a bonus
|
While our children live in poverty
|
What a shame, what a shame
|
|
I keep on teachin' my kids
|
You work hard, you'll go far in this life
|
But the reality is
|
I'm slavin' on to the bone to survive
|
|
I'd like to take you away, girl
|
But I just can't see
|
How that's gonna be
|
Don't like to slave in this way, girl
|
Somebody ..., set her free
|
|
Because I gets paid on the first, paid on the last
|
And struggle all through the middle
|
Every month I gets paid on the first, paid on the last
|
(Workin' hard, workin' quite hard)
|
|
Because I gets paid on the first, paid on the last
|
And then I struggle through the middle
|
Every month I gets paid on the first, paid on the last
|
And struggle all through the middle
|
|
M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me
|
Not for me, not for me
|
M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me
|
Ain't nothin' movin', I keep losin'
|
|
I'll keep a positive mind
|
But it's hard to flow
|
When your cash is low
|
I'm workin' days overtime
|
Still I can't get up out of this hole
|
|
Because I gets paid on the first, paid on the last
|
And struggle all through the middle
|
Every month I gets paid on the first, paid on the last
|
On my back strugglin'
|
|
Because I gets paid on the first, paid on the last
|
I just struggle through the middle
|
Every month I gets paid on the first, paid on the last
|
On my back strugglin', strugglin'
|
|
M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me
|
Not a damn thing movin', no
|
M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me
|
Baby, baby
|
|
M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me
|
Ain't nothin' movin' 'cause I keep losin'
|
M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me
|
Money, money, M O N E Y
