[Emcee(s): Rodan]
[Producer(s): X-Ray Da Mindbenda]

[Intro: Samples]
[Sample from New Jack City (1991)]
Bum: All these people carrying around you like you God Almighty
[Sample]
Person 1: Give me back my dollar!
Person 2: Do you need a doctor?
Person 1: They took my dollar! They took, they took my dollar! He owes me a dollar! He, he, he took my dollar! That, that’s my cent!

[Verse 1: Rodan]
Bow down to me, my children, and indulge your sins, confess
Behold the plagues of humans of Heaven and Earth through my green-colored lens
My graven image in your heart, forever will you lust, plus
It’s written into law: my name alone will you trust. Worshipped
By most, possessed by few, I hope you guessed my name
I’m your power, your pleasure, and your pain. Without me
You’re lunchmeat. Accumulate enough of me, I’ll put you at the top of the food
Chain. Since the rise of modern civilization, been the holder
Of global domination, creator of countless abominations
Single greatest common denominator in all
Societies and religious denominations. Paper, metal, or
Plastic, I’m your capital thesis from your first breath
‘Til the time your heart ceases. For thirty pieces of me
The Wiseman Judas kissed and betrayed Jesus
How the heretical call blasphemy? But in the pit of your soul
You know I’m the truth and I’m here to make you free. Watch
The nations of the Earth go to war for me. You can always use
A little bit more of me, the Great O’mighty D

[Hook: Rodan]
I’m the Great O’mighty Dollar, the G.O.D
I’m the eye looking at you while you worship me
I’m the Great O’mighty Dollar, the G.O.D
I’m the eye looking at you while you glorify me

[Verse 2: Rodan]
Ayyo
You seen what I did for George and Wheezy up on the Eastside
My excerpts run up over to fill you with privilege and pride
I’m your everyday guide, exposing your desires with nothing to hide
Whoever said food, oxygen, and sun were the keys to life, them niggas
Lied—ask Lil’ Kim and The LOX about the first one mentioned
I’m your heart’s true intention. See how long
Your simple ass last without my day-to-day divinely intervention
Ruler of all your physical dimensions, overseer
Of Big Bang Theories. Who could turn the night into daylight?
Who could fix the 9th inning in the 7th game of the World Series?
Who could make the wicked blessed while the righteous protest?
Who could galvanize savage mobs like electron particles
That ionize and coalesce? Make your home a bank vault
Sleep under mattress, exchange hands and stack. I’ll be
The horsepower in your engine or I’ll be the proverbial straw that’ll break
Your camel’s back, go by many names like: Marks
Francs, Pounds, and Rubles. Four million of me, you’ll disregard
All your scruples. Treat me right, see how quickly I’ll
Quadruple. Some of my most loyal disciples are deaf and dumb
And my favorites the ones with eyes with no pupils. Now harken
Onto the Lord, take heed to the voice that sound true
Y’all know the science behind C.R.E.A.M.—I keep rising to the top
To stay ruling everything around you, straight up

[Hook: Rodan]
I’m the Great O’mighty Dollar, the G.O.D
I’m the eye looking at you while you worship me
I’m the Great O’mighty Dollar, the G.O.D
I’m the eye looking at you while you glorify me
I’m the Great O’mighty Dollar, the G.O.D

[Verse 3: Rodan]
Ayyo
Created in my image so you can live in a world full of stereotypes
Believing everything you see on the screen—from media pro-
-paganda to mass-marketing video hype—all done from my
Possession. World’s oldest profession? I’m the original progenitor
More valuable than pussy—ask your church pastor
Your rabbi, or your state senator. Foundation for
Government infrastructure built on the sacred rock of hypocrisy
Demagogue, master of your demographics. Your whole
Existence just statistic in my holy bureaucracy. Yea, walk
Through the valley of political intrigues—remember this thriller shit
All your so-called world leaders are puppets, I’m the fucking
Ventriloquist. Reigning for another 1,000 years, my children
Y’all do the math and worship no other deity before me
Or feel the economic depressions of my jealous wrath
The Most High—ask any financial-slash-religious
Scholar. In the beginning was the paper, and the paper was the Great
O’mighty Dollar, Dollar

[Hook: Rodan] (x2)
I’m the Great O’mighty Dollar, the G.O.D
I’m the eye looking at you while you worship me
I’m the Great O’mighty Dollar, the G.O.D
I’m the eye looking at you while you glorify me
