Skyzoo, Bilal, Black Thought - Money Makes Us Happy lyrics

Scared to death by this race I've run
All that's left, is everything I want
And I'm slowly losing my time
Quickly taken back from me
Seems my friends are few
Mama said prepare to pay
Cause happiness comes from money
Happiness comes from money

Money makes us happy and
Happiness is everything
And everything is now and
Now is more than never and
There'll never be a moment where
Happiness doesn't matter so
If you can quote the prices of your
Happy then get at us yo get at us yo
Learned it from right where you
Saw me posted at grew up holding on to it
All unless there's hope attached
Cause me?, I don't hope for much, uh
If anything at all
They said your cue will depend on
What you can bring along
So we was bringing everything that
Mattered to us most
It was money and it was cars and
It was habit's to keeping both
It was hundreds and it was scars and
They just happened to be close
It was hunger getting involved so then
It was back to being broke
And we just wanted a shot or 2
Melo on the follow through
Promised me it would open these doors
The way that they promised you so I just do
Whatever it takes to fuck with it all
And enough to buy my way next
To Jesus if I get lost, swag

And they say money makes the world go
Money makes your girl go
Money turns some of it's
Earners into something terrible
Ask yourself where did the person who
Was in the mirror go?
Why am I unrecognizable, so unbearable?
In the pursuit of paper
It was then I wasn't there with you
To do it over I'd've taken better care of you
It costs money for the birth
More for the burial
Purposely I'm saving up to
Purchase us a miracle
We want more but need less
Desires and requests
I guess moving constantly at
This rapid speed just
Effected my velocity, then the evil got to me
And strangely
It fucked around and changed my philosophy
I always heard it's not the
Quantity but it's the quality
In all honesty
Past mistakes seem to follow me
Sometimes I feel like if my
Psychology will swallow me
So my apologies, what's my problem yo?
It's gotta be the money

And it was falling out the sky like
If Doug E fresh was performing
And we already had too much and so
We was brushing it off us
In pictures in front of back drops
Til like 4 in the morning
In all of this Dapper Dan for
All of your dapper adornment
Or it's falling on the badge in
The murder of pick a name
And my name fill the blank and
I'm blanked and I drift away
And you kiss my cold cheeks, chicks
Crying like I was Cochise
Would you stand up
And send me a slow speech?, because
Money makes us happy and, happiness is
Everything, and everything is now and, now
Is more than never and, there'll never
Be a moment where happiness
Doesn't matter so
If you can quote the prices of
Your happy then get at us yo

Money no surrender now and no restraints
No complaints
(Lord knows the price will only raise)
