[SoulChef, Marchitect, Frankito, Jas Mace - Money Talks lyrics]
Yeah so I was just sitting there
Then George Washington started talking
To me I didn't know what was going on
I thought I was buggin
Well I guess it's true what they say
I thought money talks was just a
Figure of speech (uh huh)
Until George Washington started
Speaking to me talking about the many faces
In different places from birthday cards
To getting caught in scary situations
When deals went bad he hit the floor
He said I know what life is
Like whether rich or poor
You see I've been through the hands of
A man that didn't have a lot
He gave me up the only hope
To keep his meal hot
I wouldn't believe it if I
Didn't see it for myself
So many stories all about tragedy and glory
He said he cried in the hands
Of a man that just died
Cause his holder wouldn't let a point
Slide in a dice game
He wish he died all the same
He was ashamed of himself cause all they
See in him is material wealth
Then a smile came to his face
As he thought about the time he
Was given for Katrina relief
But then reality sets in
He thought for a second again
Because his new holder didn't even need
It in the first place man what a waste
He said corruption's all the same
As he starts to complain he said
I got an eye in the back
Of my head with long range
It's the new order of the worlds
But ain't a damn thing changed
In every city it's the same thing
The rich have enough of me to burn
When will they learn
As the world turns the grass gets greener
But, I'm a stay bloody and
Filthy I'm never getting cleaner
The people hate me for the evil men do
But, if money is the root
Than what's that make you?
Money talks and bullshit walks
So I'll see ya, and I wouldn't want to be ya
Money talks and bullshit's
Running that marathon it's kind of scary hu?
Money talks and bullshit walks
So I'll see ya, and I wouldn't want to be ya
Money talks and bullshit's
Running that marathon
It's kind of scary hu? Carry on
Looking at my dough stack, like welcome back
Money started talking hollering about let
Me tell you black
He started speaking started spilling his guts
I started tripping asked if it
Was real or what
He said yup, so real it's kind of ugly
I'm so damn dirty that you
Shouldn’t want to touch me
When I'm covered in blood you
Know I'm still looking lovely
So lovely every girl be thinking of me
Yeah, and I'm only Abe Lincoln
But 20 makes a Benny that's
What your babe’s thinking
Even been to Cairo and Cleveland, Ohio
Received with open palms
Some received me and died though
But why bro, man I done learnt
All I do is fall apart in
Old age and get burnt
I'm a dead president I was born into debt
Store me as careful as a corpse or
I'll be gone in a sec
This man bought him a tec
The man who sold the tec bought a corvette
But even the slickest vet it
Needs an oil check
Now I belong to a mechanic
Who wants to send his daughter to school
If he works hard and plans it
And this is all around the god damn planet
Doing a little bit of good
And a lot of damage
Yeah, all around the god damn planet
Doing a little bit of good
And a lot of damage
Money talks and bullshit walks
So I'll see ya, and I wouldn't want to be ya
Money talks and bullshit's
Running that marathon it's kind of scary hu?
Money talks and bullshit walks
So I'll see ya, and I wouldn't want to be ya
Money talks and bullshit's
Running that marathon
It's kind of scary hu? Carry on
