Lyrics Gain the Whole World - Christafari feat. Jah Pickney

Now how would it profit a man fi gain the world yet lose his soul? Cha
Broke and got no money
'Cause ah money control you
Yeah, you know
And wherever your treasure is, there your heart it will surely live yeah
Listen me good

Gain the whole world
Snd lose your soul
Don't let the money control you
You think the money console you
Gain the whole world, lose your soul
Don't let the money control you
No, never let the money yo

Dollar make a dollar
And a yen make a yen
Euro fi the peso
But them want some more again
Every mickle make a muckle
Every pound make a pense
Now with cryptocurrency and bitcoin it never ends, no

More money, more money yet them greed never stop - it never stop
Work and them a work til them try reach the top
But then them hit the bottom and the bubble just pop
And them a start from scratch them career it a flop
Say I and I no deal with no red eye people
Me nah go ramp with no shine eye gal
Me say them too gravelishus
And a Mr. Greediot
Ah you nuh know
Craven ago choke puppy dog
Me know that Babylon it ago burn down - burn it down
But the needy and the poor them getting trod on
It's like them try fit the camel through the eye of a needle
Say me nah go live amongst no badmind people

Me say them gain the whole world yet them lose them soul - lose them soul
Chasing after money after silver and gold - silver and gold
Forgetting what the prophets from longtime foretold
Never listen to the Lord

Gain the whole world
And lose your soul
Don't let the money control you, no
You think this money console you
Gain the whole world, lose your soul
Well listen me it ah the truth
Yeah, so listen what me say to you

So me say, money man, money, you got a money problem
Someone helps you to the top but then you step on them
As you climb pon the ladder you kick them to the ground
So them never help you up when you finally fell down

You're putting more pon more and a stash pure trash
Diversify in gold fi a little more cash
The glamor and the glitter them ah shine and flash
But your bubble ago burst when the market crash

Me say them, gettie gettie but them just don't wantie
Their belly full but them hungry
Me tell you, a hungry mob is an angry mob
And the same man weh rich, him gwine turn round and rob

You are possessed by your possessions and ah held by what you hold
Gripped by what you grip until you flip and then you fold
Put too much stock in the stocks then you watch it like a hawk
Well you're in for a shock when it drop like a rock

Me say you've gained the whole world yet you lose your soul - lose them soul
You're broke and got no money 'cause ah money control - silver and gold
Forgetting what Jesus from longtime foretold
Never listen to the Lord

Gain the whole world, and lose your soul
You think this money console you
No never make the money control you now
I said gain the whole world, lose your soul
Jah Pickney deyah and the one Tansoback
Deejay pon the mic say we haffi rally back

If you save your life you will lose it
But if you lose your life you will gain it
So invest inna the things that last
Becasue everything in this life it soon ago pass

For if you love your life
You will lose it - oh oh
But if you hate your life
You will gain it - oh oh
Me say invest inna the work of the Son - oh oh
Because me know say every other thing it soon ago done - oh oh

So take up your cross and follow Him
Deny yourself and submit to Him
What profit a man, what profit a man, what profit a man to

Gain the whole world, lose your soul
Don't let the money control you
You think the money console you
Said gain the whole world, lose your soul
Don't let the money control you
No, never let the money console you
Because, he who dies with the most toys
Yes, he who dies with the most toys still dies
He'll never win
Listen to the raggamuffin say
He who dies with the most toys
Yeah, he who dies with the most toys Still dies
He can't take them with him
