| The love of money is the root of all evil
|
| And that’s a fact
|
| But a person ain’t nothing without money
|
| And that’s wack
|
| I mean you can be spiritual and mentally give
|
| But you need money for food
|
| And you need food to live
|
| Heat bills and utilities
|
| Home cable and gas.
|
| For you car, Subway fair, bike or bus pass
|
| If you got kids you need to support them
|
| And if you answer to safe sex is abortion
|
| Then you need money to abort them
|
| Now that’s messed up, as mess can be
|
| But it’s reality
|
| Awaking without any income or salary
|
| You better have a job 40 hours a week
|
| Shower and eat, sleep, freak, chill, and have heat
|
| And what about you future
|
| Your long term post
|
| Maybe own a house and have a lawn with not potholes
|
| Send you kids away to college so the cycle repeats
|
| Not having to worry if your family is out in the streets
|
| If you follow these steps you’ll probably never lose
|
| Never find yourself saying that you got the blues
|
| You should take my advice
|
| Something that you can use
|
| So you won’t have to say that you got the blues
|
| When you’re on top of the world and feel you can’t lose
|
| A problem hits you right in the heart leaving a bruise
|
| Whether it’s your love or the money it’s bad news
|
| But don’t stress it because you just…
|
| (got the blues)
|
| You don’t stress it son you just…
|
| (got the blues)
|
| You don’t stress it baby you just…
|
| I sat staring at the wall
|
| Fearing the call
|
| My girl caught me with another chick down at the mall
|
| All she did was give me a look and jet out the door
|
| Four hours later my pager was still on the floor
|
| No messege is expressionless
|
| Wait no need to be stressing this
|
| She was just a friend I kissed on the cheek
|
| Chilled every other week and wanted to freak
|
| Back in the day straight
|
| But now I got a girl that I lay
|
| So I stay faithful Play no games with her brains
|
| My main squeeze she’s ready to please never complains
|
| What more could I ask for
|
| Wack whores who sweat me
|
| Cause of my CD and see me when they’re greedy, looking sexy
|
| Hoping they caught some cream
|
| But queen sorry to stop your dream
|
| But I’m not the one you gotta be greeting
|
| That’s why I need my girl like a fiend needs rock
|
| I need to call her at her spot to explain the plot
|
| My heart is on lock
|
| I’m feeling the pain of love sting
|
| When I dial her number and hear the telephone ring |
