Money means nothing | |
My people mean everything | |
Promise when | |
I got little more money that | |
I will never change | |
Plus still the same | |
I kept my feet on earth | |
And I kept my promise | |
I kept my people first | |
My friends and my family help make a man of me | |
When i was down at | |
Ya'll lent a helping hand to me | |
So I return in the favour | |
I passing forward | |
Adversity dont run away from it run towards it | |
Face it and brace it | |
I promise that you could make it | |
Time spent with your family you should keep that secret | |
Is more worth then any amount of money? | |
So i never let the money snatch that from me | |
People get money and they start actin funny | |
Its the money that making they world you seebut see if i get some then we all gettin somthin | |
Cuz money aint the world to me | |
I do it for the people the people the people | |
Cuz money aint the world to me | |
The people the people the people | |
Cuz money aint the world to me | |
Daddy was a garbage man | |
Momma worked real hard | |
Me i’m a common man | |
And the pi on the lord | |
Smart smith admit it | |
You didn’t have a million dollars | |
Only thing you said to me was don’t kill you makes you strongerhumble beginningmakes a sweeter endin | |
Look at Oprah | |
Winfrey, Tupac, and | |
John Lennon | |
In rolls sit goes | |
What your next move | |
Now you have a good president what you gone do | |
Be a better man | |
Let a freiend a hand | |
Grow spiritedly | |
Help out your community | |
Is the love that mama was cooking | |
That making taste good | |
Is the people not the money | |
That makes the neighbourhood | |
People get money and they start actin funny | |
Its the money that making they world you seebut see if i get some then we all gettin somthin | |
Cuz money aint the world to me | |
I do it for the people the people the people | |
Cuz money aint the world to me | |
The people the people the people | |
Cuz money aint the world to me | |
You see I do it for the love | |
Sometimes i do it just because | |
But for some reason i can’t explain | |
I didn’t do for the bucks | |
See Nappy | |
Roots is a movement | |
That hovers a class abovethe average and the obvious | |
Sell the conscious like a lot of this | |
We struggle from time to time | |
Did the opposite of a lot of us | |
But a hard word pays off | |
I’m leaving proof and promise in this | |
Educate yourself so when you finally see some dollars and cents | |
You say you want but proof that soon you gonna make it | |
But make it to your grandchildren's kidsbecause they are the future | |
We are the one that are damaging it | |
Abuse is an opportunity with revolution, and contaminates | |
Don’t make any damn sense | |
His movie doesn’t have a sequel | |
If you don’t do for you and your kidsthen do it for the rest of the people | |
People get money and they start actin funny | |
Its the money that making they world you seebut see if i get some then we all gettn somthin | |
Cuz money aint the world to me | |
I do it for the people the people the people | |
Cuz money aint the world to me | |
The people the people the people | |
Cuz money aint the world to me | |
