[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]
|
