money makes the world go 'round
we know that. is it gonna change your life if you own that?
is it gonna have you high in the sky where you're so glad
will it just define what you're known as?
while i'm wishing that i had a mint
i'd share it round if i had some riches
see with money though yo it can't bring us happiness
but it will bring the things we'd be happy with. indeed. while the homeless are beggin' for some change
there are some who are beggin for a change
start beggin' for a change
we need change but everything's the same. i can't be another one runnin' in a rat race
livin' in a life where it's all about the cash mate
cause i feel like that's for me so. i know that it goes on but we don't wanna know that
i know that i've been wrong but i don't wanna go back
got our folks worried that our hearts will blow up. it's funny that we can't say no but
i hope we don't hit it too hard and go nuts. yo we will know in time
man this shit that kills us
is why we all feel so alive. and get paid on friday from workin' all week man
forget it all by blowin' it on the weekend. and some will say 60 is a fool
the kids are beginning because he didn't finish school. yo if it wasn't for me mate
workin' in the office on weekdays is not what i'll be mate. it ain't cause i'm broke that i'm wantin' to seek change
i'm a treat this like my job and i'll see pay
maybe it's my lack of sleep
but i feel like i have to dream so. i know that it goes on but we don't wanna know that
i know that i've been wrong but i don't wanna go back
hey yo i can't be one of them dudes no more
i ain't gonna be wearin' them shoes no more
won't waste time all for the loot no more
with no idea what i can use it for
yo i don't wanna work till i'm fifty
and then spent what i've earnt till i'm sixty
i know it's got a hold on me
but no way is it controllin' me no
i know that it goes on but we don't wanna know that
i know that i've been wrong but i don't wanna go back
