It's All About the Money

Cash whispers in the night it’s a cold lullaby

Gold hangs like treachery under neon sky

Every cent a siren pulls me in too tight

I’m dancing with the devil under city lights

Counting bills bleeding green down my fingertips

Greed's a lover with venom on her lips

Rings on my hands but they’re heavy like chains

Every dollar a truth but it’s soaked in pain

It’s all about the money it keeps me alive

But it's a cage dressed up like paradise

It’s all about the money it’s poison and wine

I drink it down while I sell my time

Fame poured out like rain it’s too slick to hold

Diamonds in my teeth but they bite like cold

Riches break the silence but scream so loud

A hollow throne in a faceless crowd

I wanted glory but I sold my name

Riches gave me fire but burned the flame

Paper castles they always fall

It’s all about the money that takes it all

It’s all about the money it keeps me alive

But it's a cage dressed up like paradise

It’s all about the money it’s poison and wine

I drink it down while I sell my time
