[00:03.500]
[00:12.420] I was walkin' down the street
[00:13.970] When out the corner of my eye
[00:15.780] I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
[00:18.090] She said I never seen a man
[00:20.150] Who looked so all alone
[00:21.430] could you use a little company
[00:22.680]
[00:24.390] And if you pay the right price
[00:26.380] Your evening sill be nice
[00:27.580] You can go and send me on my way
[00:29.330]
[00:30.520] I said you're such a sweet young thing
[00:32.320] Why you do this to yourself
[00:34.010] She looked at me and this is what she said
[00:36.600]
[00:38.540] *There ain't no rest for the wicked
[00:40.340] Money don't grow on trees
[00:41.530]
[00:42.810] I got bills to pay
[00:44.370] I got mouths to feed
[00:45.880] Ain't nothing in this world for free
[00:47.810]
[00:48.970] I know can't slow down
[00:50.280]
[00:50.920] I can't hold back
[00:52.410] Though you know I wish I could
[00:55.150] No there ain't no rest for the wicked
[00:58.210] Until you close our eyes for good*
[01:01.400] Not even 15 minutes later
[01:03.270] I'm still walkin' down the street
[01:04.610] When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
[01:07.440] And then he swept up from behind
[01:09.180] He put a gun up to my head
[01:11.300] He made it clear he wasn't lookin' for a fight
[01:13.670] He said give me all you got
[01:15.360] I want your money not your life
[01:16.990] But if you try to make amove I won't thind twice
[01:19.800] I told him you can have my cash
[01:21.690] But first you know I gotta ask
[01:23.190] What made you want to live this kind of life
[01:25.990] he said there aint no rest for the wicked
[01:27.930]
[01:29.090] Money don't grow on trees
[01:30.640]
[01:31.970] I got bills to pay
[01:33.170] I got mouths to feed
[01:35.100] Ain't nothing in this world for free
[01:36.720]
[01:38.040] I know can't slow down
[01:39.860] I can't hold back
[01:40.910]
[01:41.420] Though you know I wish I could
[01:43.730]
[01:44.420] No there ain't no rest for the wicked
[01:46.660]
[01:47.420] Until you close our eyes for good*
[01:49.740]
[02:02.980] Well now a couple hours past
[02:04.670] And I was sitting in my house
[02:06.200] The day was winding down and comming to an end
[02:08.380]
[02:09.070] So I turned on theTV
[02:10.070] And flipped it over to the news
[02:12.130] And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
[02:13.940]
[02:15.190] I saw a preacher man in cuffs
[02:16.490] He'd taken money from the church
[02:18.310] He'd stuff his bank account with righteous dollar bills
[02:20.120]
[02:21.300] But even still I can't say much
[02:23.310] Because I know we're all the same
[02:24.870] Oh yes we all seed out to satisfy those thrills
[02:27.240]
[02:27.970] there aint no rest for the wicked
[02:29.530]
[02:30.890] Money don't grow on trees
[02:32.580]
[02:33.640] We got bills to pay
[02:35.730] We got mouths to feed
[02:37.100] Ain't nothing in this world for free
[02:38.980]
