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 fig on earth
And I kept my promise
I kept my people first
My friends and my family got help to make an anomy
When i was down at
Ya here to help an enemy
So I return in the favour
I passing forward
Adversity don't wanna wait for amount tours in
Face it and brace it
I promise that you could make it
Time spit with your family you should keep that secret
Is more worth then any amount of money?
So i never let the money smash that from me
People get money and them start can make money
Is the money that making world you see
I see a five years son taking out this some
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
Mammy ware real hearth
Me i'm a command
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 key to make you stronger
Hope for beginning
Make some sweat amaze
Look for hope every 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 the crip da hade
Grow spiritedly
Hip about 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 them start can make money
Is the money that making world you see
I see a five years son taking out this some
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 box
See Nappy Roots is a movement
That how about the class above
Da origin of da obvious
Sell the conscious like a alibis
We struggle for down the town
Did the opposite of a largumish ??
But a hard word pays off
I'm leaving proof and promise in this
Educate yourself so any fantasy's of dollars
You say you want but proof that soon you gonna make it
But make it to your credulous kiss
Is day out the future?
We are the one that damage in it
Abuse is an opportunity with revolution time in it
Don't make evidence it
His movie doesn't have a sequel
If you don't do for you and your kids did
Do it for the rest of the people
People get money and them start can make money
Is the money that making world you see
I see a five years son taking out this some
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
