Money lyrics

[Intro]

Money, forget the money

[Hook]

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)

[Verse 1: Ludacris]

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 bitch 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 shit 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 motherfucker 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

[Hook]

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)

[Verse 2: Ludacris]

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 nigga

You talk about it, but you really can't afford it nigga

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

Fuck you gonn' do when it's all gone

Talkin bout the

[Hook]

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)

[Verse 3: Rick Ross]

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 bitches and they named in your will

A new Mercedes, a baby, your aim was to chill

You choose a pussy 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

Bitch even wanted to take my daughter's rings

Misfortunes of a rich nigga

You watch BET while she look at the big picture

[Hook]

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)
