| 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 | |
