Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, money
Without money what would we do?
We got a little idea
We see what's gone
[Verse 2]
We say, Money is the root of all evil
But there ain't nothing evil about money
Because we need that money
To pay the bills
To pay the rent
[Verse 3]
Banks folding
President scratching his head
The economy is bad
Wall Street about to lose their mind
Going up and down
Gas prices, up and down
Nobody knows what to do
[Verse 4]
You know what we need though
[Verse 5]
Money, where have you gone to?
Money, where have you gone to?
[Verse 6]
I gotta pay my bills
Gotta to pay my rent
I'm hungry and I'm tired
But my money's all spent
[Verse 7]
Money, where have you gone to?
Money, where are you hiding?
I said, Money, where are you hiding?
[Verse 8]
I work like a dog, year after year
Like a ghost when I need you
You always disappear
[Verse 9]
Money, where are you hiding?
Money, why won't you stay a while?
I said, Money, why won't you stay a while?
[Verse 10]
You see we scrimp we save
Like to keep you around
When you needed, you're nowhere to be found
Money, why won't you stay a while?
[Verse 11]
Tryna get that money, yo
You go out and sell everything you own
[Verse 12]
I don't know
I'm a scrimp
I keep on scrimping
[Verse 13]
Money, why don't you like me?
Money, why don't you like me?
[Verse 14]
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I done?
I always let you play me
But, you never liked me, none
[Verse 15]
Money, why don't you like me?
[Verse 16]
(Everybody needs money)
(Whatcha gonna do?)
(Without that money never gonna get through)
You're never gonna
(Everybody needs money)
(Whatcha gonna do?)
Everybody needs money
(Without that money never gonna get through)
Without that money, how are you going to get through?
(Everybody needs money)
(Without that money never gonna get through)
You know, you know, you know you need money
(Everybody needs money)
(Whatcha gonna do?)
(Without that money never gonna get through)
How, how are you going to get through?
[Verse 17]
I know I need it
How are you going to get through?
