Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thirty pieces of silver, I said that was the price
You see the value man would put upon the blood of Christ
For Joseph it was twenty, they never liked his coat
For Bob a could more they never liked of what he smoke
In spite of all these notes I see the pattern developing
Morality secondary to money, greed and jealousy
That's how many failures, see and with that being said
I'd wonder if my brothers put a price upon my head
[Verse 2]
I've heard that money makes friends and money makes foes
But money it is not all
'Cause when the dough ends and all the banks close
Tell me who can you call
[Verse 3]
Who can you call
Who can you call
Who can you call
Who can you call
[Verse 4]
I've seen empires fall and wither down to dust
And all the money in the world, it could not lift them up
Most brilliant of ornaments crumble down to rust
Because we put we faith in lust and disregard the trust
Hell, I know the rush
I've had the feeling take me over
The power in my hand when all the band over my shoulder
The bands of money coming in will change the ones around you
Be wise, you know because it cannot stop you getting older, but still
I admit that I get caught up in the game
Saw the legends do it, naturally I did the same
So I'm rolling 'round the city, Ms. Jamaica, they there with me
Earth upon me platter knowing all of this no matter
[Verse 5]
'Cause money makes friends and money makes foes
But money it is not all
'Cause when the dough ends and all the banks close
Tell me who can you call
[Verse 6]
Who can you call
Who can you call
Who can you call
Who can you call
[Verse 7]
And do you think that with the last breath that you take
You'll be sitting thinking 'bout the money that you made
Houses that you lived in, cars you drove, bills that you paid
And yet it is the focus, what we do and what we say
What we give, we energy
So you spend your life at work
Acting like the money will be with you in the earth
Leaving all your family and friends to fight and search
That's when you see the snakes come out and act like they deserve
Like them put you on reserve
[Verse 8]
Told you money makes friends and money makes foes
But money it is not all
'Cause when the dough ends and all the banks close
Tell me who can you call
[Verse 9]
Who can you call
Who can you call
Who can you call
Who can you call
