Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Man say love have money
So no matter what dem say
It's the order of the DJ
[Verse 2]
Adam said, "Eve, now listen to me
Anything you want, you can have
So be a good girl, and let's make a deal
Swimming pool and four car garage
The world is your friend, the door's opening
Anything you want that you need
Whoever you need, they're actin' so sweet
Money changes everything"
[Verse 3]
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
[Verse 4]
One dollar bill, dat George Washington
Two dollar bill, dat Thomas Jefferson
Five dollar bill, Abraham Lincoln
Ten dollar bill, Andrew Jackson
Twenty dollar bill, Alexander Hamilton
Big like giant or you're small like dwarf
Small like dwarf or you're big like giant
Fifty dollar bill, dat Ulysses Grant
Hundred dollar bill, Benjamin Franklin
Out 'pon the street, there is a lot of killin'
Fightin', fussin', blood is spillin'
All over the world, man, they are grillin'
Out 'pon the street, me have fi watch fi me head
Ina me pocket, I don't got no bread
Bust up the copper and dem buss up de lead
Each and every day, they find another man dead
[Verse 5]
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
[Verse 6]
I smell the smell goin' round
I'm gettin' pounded in the ground
With this funny money still cyclin' around
You know the Euro, kickin' Uncle Sam in the who know
You know, dinero, the root of all evil
Yeah, I know you can't stand it
Being broker than the Ten Commandments
And the broker ain't planned this
Now they talkin' the Amero, damn it
When it comes down to it, some can see right through it
Chuck D, sorry, that drink's not on me
You can stick to it, just don't flip to it
For the sake of money, superstar cars
You see hi-def on somebody's plasma TV
Who go from rags to riches and spend their riches on rags
Similar bags with designer name tags
Be glad you got yourself 'cause they mad
They fake, plus they makin' mad mistakes
You wait and see, you can't replace that space (They're turnin' you wild)
And I bet money can't keep that smile on your face
[Verse 7]
Everybody's nice to you now (Money)
Dollars and cents (You're mad at the money that you spent)
It's fun to do, what isn't allowed (Sing)
Poor girl in a house of correction
You're sexy as hell, but it won't pay the bills forever
Bright lights and no information
Your feet hit the ground
When you lost what you found (Come on, sing it)
[Verse 8]
Money
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
[Verse 9]
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
Money (Money)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money is the root of all evil
Money (Yeah)
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Yeah, stay on top
[Verse 10]
Make sure you make it
Make sure that it don't make you
That goes back old school as far as you can go back
That's right, you make the money
Make sure the money don't make you
Be about something
