This is the major theme in the song comes from the book of 1 Timothy 6:10 which reads
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows
This song not only speaks about the various evils of...
[Hook 1]
One for the money two for the show
Three for the money four for the dough
Five for the money six for the flow
I’m so money get dough
[Verse 1: Playdough]
Ride on it, bet on it
You can put your life on it, dead on it
Some dough, some kneading that bread money
That cream that dollar, dollar bill money
Money to burn more than I earn but so what
And money can’t buy love but still it your buck
So get your dollars’ worth go one for the money
Two for the show and prove three for the twenty
I guess that if it glitters it’s gold and cold shining
Full price rhyming you’re nickel and diming
It’s like we got got to get paper I know that
Hole in your pocket gonna burn till you blow that
The seed grow living cuz you reap what you sow that
The money tree green doesn’t grow back
So jingle it or fold that, crinkle it or crease it
In God we trust and know the paper doesn’t read it
Won’t see it on the
[Hook 2]
How far will you go?
Trying to sell your soul
Money is time
We all on the grind, we all on the grind
[Verse 2: Gift of Gab]
Got to get it ya’ll spend it no limit all in it
Ya’ll killing for it steal it hoes giving draws pivot
Through cities gonna live it full digits
Don’t get it don’t live it oh ish it’s so critical with it
Planet all senate all in it and round it and
Governors, senators, ministers count it and
Hustlers and players and niggas is bout it
Dividends, dividends can’t live without it
Back in the days a hundred used to be a thousand
Now from inflation the planet’s rerouted
It’s getting more violent it’s getting more rowdy
Resources running low got to even buy water
It’s all about the dollar I holler doggonit
It got so much power they put God on it
And what do we trust now to get us through the moments?
Some people say faith but you got to have money
[Hook 1]
[Bridge]
Don’t let money change ya
Don’t let money change ya
I get money and I make money
And I lose money and I hate money
And I give money I tithe it a lot
I get money, money I got
I get money and I make money
And I lose money and I hate money
And I give money and I give money
Make money, money make money, money, money
Give money, money give money, money money
