[Verse 1]
We was broke, but we was laughing
Now it’s all about the asking
Everybody want the fast thing
Chasing paper like it last thing
Mama said, “Son, stay steady”
Hearts get cold when the bag too heavy
Neighbors switch when the rent due
Same old smile, but a new view
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what we got
If we lose ourselves
Tell me what we bought
If it cost our health
The ground keep moving
The world keep turning
Somebody said, “Keep cool”
But the whole place burning
[Chorus]
Money, money, money
Got the whole world funny
Money, money, money
Make a good man hungry
Money, money, money
Hear it when it call me
But money is the root of all evil
Money, money, money
Can’t buy peace for me
Money, money, money
Can’t heal what I see
Money, money, money
Still it tries to own me
But money is the root of all evil
[Verse 2]
Now the kids want gold chains
Moms working double, same pain
Bills pile up on the table
Dreams get small when you unstable
Friend turn foe for a quick grin
Love get lost in the quick win
Everybody talking big fame
But nobody want the real name
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what we got
If we lose ourselves
Tell me what we bought
If it cost our health
The ground keep moving
The world keep turning
Somebody said, “Keep cool”
But the whole place burning
[Chorus]
Money, money, money
Got the whole world funny
Money, money, money
Make a good man hungry
Money, money, money
Hear it when it call me
But money is the root of all evil
Money, money, money
Can’t buy peace for me
Money, money, money
Can’t heal what I see
Money, money, money
Still it tries to own me
But money is the root of all evil
[Bridge]
If you got a little, hold it light
Don’t let gold steal your sight
If you got a lot, stay kind
Don’t let greed run your mind
We can rise without the chain
We can live without the name
Take the lesson, let it go
What you keep, let love grow
[Chorus]
Money, money, money
Got the whole world funny
Money, money, money
Make a good man hungry
Money, money, money
Hear it when it call me
But money is the root of all evil
Money, money, money
Can’t buy peace for me
Money, money, money
Can’t heal what I see
Money, money, money
Still it tries to own me
But money is the root of all evil
[Outro]
We can get up from it
We can move through it
Don’t let paper rule your soul
We can heal through it
We can learn through it
Love is worth more than gold
