Call Me Money

Call me Money

I've been in the hands of many man, A-K-
A root of all evil with a devilish plan
I filled many pockets, many wallets, poor man to rich man

Been transferred from bank accounts to safety deposits
I'm the key to a man's dreams and the cause of his heartaches
I'm the reason that most people operate just like snakes
On the paper chase 'cause I'm something that everyone wants to make
But I'm hard to gain and easy to lose like an anorexic's waist
I'm known for changing people's lives, making it better or worse
See myself as a paradox between luck and a curse
I make a poor rapper rich if he spits the right type of verse

I could put you on top of the world or six feet under the dirt
I'm the reason people work and grind their fingers to the bone
In the popularity stakes, you know I stand alone
Like a king on his throne, I rule this world on my own
'Cause I be real money live cash, not counterfeit clone
I'm the reason crackhead mothers leave their kids all alone
To go and earn enough for me to buy themselves another stone
I'm the reason for casinos and the gambling zone

My reputation's notorious like Escobar and Al Capone
Treat me good, I'll bring you lux like yachts, sports cars and homes
Precious stones, living your life outside the pressure zone
Keep me wrong, I'll stress your dome and make your life a living hell
And make sure you lose everything if you don't handle me well

I leave a man stuck, bankrupt
Oh yeah, and it's my fault
People walk into banks with guns
Telling everyone stick their hands up
Problem solver, problem maker, ink blotted on paper
Used from everything from posting bail to placing dirty wagers
Then you heard money is power, and I know I got control
'Cause enough of me can make a humble man sell me his soul

Make money, Money
Make money, Money make
But Money can change your fate and turn people into snakes
Make money, Money
Make money, Money make
But Money can fuel hate with its root of all evil traits

I turn ladies to bitches, trustworthy people into snitches
For riches, a righteous man will start blowing the devil kisses
Even people who religious turn corrupt just by the thought of me
Caught up by the sorcery of the queen set endorsing me
My power controls souls and keeps the world on its toes

Don't doubt because without me, your economy wouldn't grow
Call me ruler of the planet, I'm your destiny maker
Especially now most people's mentalities are all about the paper
I'm a life taker and savior
I can make you or break you
Even something people pray to
But you know I'm not their maker
I brought every player in the Lakers, in fact, the NBA

And without me there'd be no wages

So the players wouldn't play

You see my face every day and try to

Play me with your stocks and shares

While governments hold me back from O-A-P's in their rocking chairs

It ain't stopping there, Money

Now I'm being used by cold dudes like
I'm some type of paper snorting tube
Give me respect where it's due 'cause I'm the one that made you rich
All you ugly wealthy men better thank me for that pretty bitch
Pay the maintenance for your kids and without me you couldn't live
Couldn't drive the car you drive or sip the champagne you just sipped
I'm a symbol of wickedness that causes dizziness
A Freemason too, totally demonic like the emblem of the triple six
Turn the whole vibe if you like, materialize
If the lord appeared in front of your eyes

You turn your back and walk with me by your side
Hypnotized by the biggest prize
It seems to mankind a man made and loved
By man and now directing man's mind
It's true
Money makes the world go round
That ain't no lie
But in a vicious circle of war '
Cause love's something money can't buy

Make money, Money
Make money, Money make
But Money can change your fate and turn people into snakes
Make money, Money
Make money, Money make
But Money can fuel hate with its root of all evil traits
