Money forget the money
The root of all evil deceiving cause even
My closest people tryin' to
Get me for my (money)
Cause envy breeds jealousy
Jealousy breeds hate
They on the taste for the (money)
Now where do I begin
They send you out to reel you back in
And its all for the (money)
Cause envy breeds jealousy
Jealousy breeds hate
They on the taste for the (money)
My biggest gift and my curse
More money
More problems tell me what's worse
Getting audited by the government
Giving up millions to the IRS
Or having to take a paternity test
From a b**ch I never met
I'm getting sued by my own family member
All cause my dog bit her
And she was the one
Who walked up and put her hand out
And now she got her handout
It's driving me crazy
Almost as if this sh*t was planned out
What else can anybody do to me
It ain't new to me
When every time I turn around
Another money hungry motherf**ker suing me
Truthfully I've had it up to here
And it don't help that Forbes reports
What I'm makin every year
They listen closely
And I was really demonized
That I was told to go to school
Graduate and get a job
But I'm a Hip Hop cash king
Rapper from the South
And everybody wants the easy way out
And soul of
The root of all evil deceiving cause even
My closest people tryin' to
Get me for my (money)
Cause envy breeds jealousy
Jealousy breeds hate

Now where do I begin
They send you out to reel you back in
And its all for the (money)
Cause envy breeds jealousy
Jealousy breeds hate
They on the taste for the
Yeah rappers foreclosin' on their houses
Can't keep up the payments
They owe a couple hundred thousand
Say they making millions and bills steady pillin'
Diamonds on their neck
They kids' stomach out here growlin
Get your priorities in order ni**a
You talk about it
But you really can't afford it ni**a
That car you bought depreciated once you drove off
No wonder your baby momma wanna
Knock your nose off (BLAHHH)
Half the industry going bankrupt
You see em' smiling in the club
With their drinks up
Don't let that television fool ya
Off camera they sweating and stressin
My young students let me school ya
The diamonds ain't worth half
What you bought them for (no)
Soon all that Gucci don't fit
Now you out of dough
One day your pocket's
Alright now they all wrong
F**k you gonn' do
When it's all gone
Talkin bout the

Lemme talk to these hoes woadie
Uhh uh
Imagine being worth a 100 mill
Your potentials of having a billion is only real
Images more b**ches
And they named in your will
A new Mercedes a baby
Your aim was to chill
You choose a p**sy or pop a bottle
Grow half a mill
All you wanted was some entertainment
All she wanted was some litigation
Exploiting a simple penetration
Telling the courtroom
That I'm being evasive
She wanted to walk into the SunTrust
She made me sign over my lil son's trust
Take away the joy my lil daughter brings
B**ch even wanted to take my daughter's rings
Misfortunes of a rich ni**a
You watch BET while she look at the big picture
The root of all evil deceiving cause even
My closest people tryin' to
Get me for my (money)
Cause envy breeds jealousy
Jealousy breeds hate
They on the taste for the (money)
Now where do I begin
They send you out to reel you back in
And its all for the (money)
Cause envy breeds jealousy
Jealousy breeds hate
They on the taste for the
The best teast of life they've enred
Now born
