lyrics

I ask myself what I do it for,
make this music so beautiful, I swear its therapeutical,
i wash my hands of the past,
scraping out my cuticles

Its my soul sanitation,
so whats with all the aggravation,
if i do it for me why do sales give me validation?
man I’m facing these debts, and minimum wage checks,

damn I’m pacing, yo there must be a way out,
i gotta get some money up, for the pay out,
I’m lucky if i get a hundred bucks, to hit the stage now,
I get a ton of love, but i been spittin to the same crowd,

so i slung dope to my friends,
i guess cash rules every thing around me,
just trying to settle my debts,
I was a damn fool for ever trying to out think

money money money,
what we do it for
money money money,
what we do it for,

see God created man,
then man created money,
now money controls man,
while man forsakes God

i wouldn’t care much about controlling currency,
but currently, I’m in a state of urgency,
i can’t hit the studio, making music
if i don’t make money, for me that a state of emergency

so who’s creating all this monopoly cash?
private banks and the federal reserve,
forget fixing Flint, give it to Goldman sachs,
and leave veterans out on the curb,

money is not a resource,
we grow enough food we can feed the poor,
but we need the war so we can keep building jets,
cuz that the only job the budget increases for,

and we can’t stop pollution, or we might lose to putin,
we slang tanks to police, to stop the rioting and looting,
were the wealthiest nation, so we suffer these abuses,
and we stand for our flag, and the money’s why we do it,

money money money,
what we do it for
money money money,
what we do it for,

see God created man,
then man created money,
now money controls man,
while man forsakes God

They say theres not enough jobs in Michigan,

I’m pretty sure fixing the pipes in Flint is a job,

theres no shortage of pipes and construction equipment,

the resources exist. it could be fixed,

money is a system for allocating resources,

the system isn’t working for us,

were enslaved by a concept we created,

the first step to controlling it is get educated
