Lyrics

[00:24.75][00:19.97][00:15.20] Money money money money, money
[00:43.84] Some people got to have it
[00:48.72] Some people really need it
[00:52.30] Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do things, bad things with it
[01:01.99] You wanna do things, do things, do things, good things with it
[03:11.58][03:01.60][02:56.67][02:51.65][02:46.64][02:01.76][01:56.86][01:52.02][01:27.47][01:22.68][01:17.80] (For the love of money)
[01:19.34] People will steal from their mother
[01:24.15] People will rob their own brother
[01:29.04] People can't even walk the street
[01:32.42] Because they never know who in the world they're gonna beat
[01:36.26] For that lean, mean, mean green
[01:43.43] Almighty dollar, money
[01:53.52] People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
[01:58.35] People don't care who they hurt or beat
[02:03.32] A woman will sell her precious body
[02:06.89] For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight
[02:10.59] For that lean, mean, mean ,mean, mean green
[02:17.80] Almighty dollar
[02:25.03] I know that money is the root of all evil
[02:32.09] Do funny things to some people
[02:36.79] Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime
[02:41.50] Money can drive some people out of their minds
[02:48.20] Got to have it, I really need it
[03:03.18][02:53.23] How many things have I heard you say
[02:57.99] Don't let, don't let, don't let money rule you
[03:06.61] (For the love of money) Don't let, don't let, don't let, don't let money fool you
[03:13.45] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[03:26.18][03:16.28] (People! Don't let money, don't let money change you)
[03:32.70][03:22.87] (Almighty Dollars)
