Been away, been gone too long
Tryin like he'll to make it on my own
Searching here and searching there
Forsaking all the love that we shared.
You see, I was so concerned about material gain
Out in the world tryin to make a name
Oohwe but I must confess
I forgot love was the key, to happiness.
Liquid courage to numb the pain,
A Fire that burns threw the veins,
Hitching rides three wind and rain
Workin for nothin but pocket change
In and out, out and in,
Of small hotels
Smoke filled rooms, with dreadful smells
Tryin like he'll
To get as high as I could till I overdose and die
Nothing but a memory in the sky
I must confess
In my head, I feel like nothing but a guest
I'm matter but I don't matter
I feel my skull clatter
From all the dull chatter
And it's all about the money ey
Money ova everything.
It's not fair, I found love
Get back- you'll never see daylight
If I'm not strong they just might
And we all walk alone on this path called life
We all walk alone, always on our own
And it's all about the money, money ova everything.
Always boasting my emotion
On how I'm so f*cking broken
Think I'm jokin
Wjlhen I'm talkin
Bout blowin my head open
Being told there's something wrong wit my brain
Thinkin im insane
The only way outta this pain
Will leave my body motionless
Wrists slit
Needle in my arm
And it's all about the money
Money ova everything.
Glass d**k back in my mouth
Even knowing it will only drag me south
Always burn all my bridges
Just another b*tch in ditches
If life's a game of inches
Then my d*ck has been the biggest
My goal is to f*ck the world
Till MF twitchin
Lane switchin
Same ol mission
B*tch
Ima die and blame my addiction
And it's all about the money
Money ova everything
Yo N*gga, what you trippin on
Out on the streets tryin to make things better
So much destruction
Livin like puppets
Give peace to the war on the streets
Give peace to the evil that creeps
This darkness that we share, yea, you & I
Live'n life like we neva gonna die
B*tch suck it up there's no time to cry
Cuz it's all about the money
Money ova everything
Now I'm lookin at my life
Like, how did I get it all wrong
They took my heart away
Handcuffs and bodybags is this the only way?
Brotha's locked up
Sista's knocked yp
Open up your eyes and look around
To build up your love you gotta put your hate down
So hard to do when it's all about the money
Money ova everything.
