FLAME - Money lyrics
[FLAME - Money lyrics]
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
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
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
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
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
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
