Money (Explicit) - Ludacris/Rick Ross

Money forget the money

Money the root of all evil deceivin'

Cause even my closest people tryin'

To get me for my money

Cause envy breeds jealousy

Jealousy breeds hate they on the

Taste for the money

Now where do I begin

They send you out to reel you back

In and it's all for the money

Cause envy breeds jealousy

Jealousy breeds hate they on the

Taste for the money

Get you some money

Yeah

My biggest gift and my curse

More money more problems

Tell me what's worse

Gettin' audited by the government

Givin' up millions to the irs

Or havin' to take a paternity test

From a b**ch I never met oh

I'm gettin' sued by my own family member what

All cause my dog bit her

And she was the one who walked up and

Put her hand out and now she

Got her hand out

It's drivin' me crazy almost as

If this sh*t was planned out f**k

What else can anybody do to me

It ain't new to me

When every time I turn around

Another money hungry motherf**ker suin' me

Truthfully ohh I've had it up to here

And it don't help that forbes

Reports what I'm makin every year

They listen closely and I was

Really simonized

That I was told to go to school

Graduate and get a job

But I'm a hiphop cash king

Rapper from the south

And everybody wants the easy way out

And it's all for the

Money the root of all evil deceivin'

Cause even my closest people tryin'

To get me for my money

Cause envy breeds jealousy

Jealousy breeds hate they on the

Taste for the money

Now where do I begin

They send you out to reel you back

In and it's all for the money

Cause envy breeds jealousy

Jealousy breeds hate they on the

Taste for the money

Hahaha

Yeah rappers foreclosin' on

Their houses fo'real

Can't keep up the payments they owe a

Couple hundred thousand oh

Say they makin' millions and bills

Steady pillin'

Diamonds on they neck they kids' stomach

Out here growlin' rrrr

Get your priorities in order nigga

You talk about it but you really

Can't afford it nigga

That car you bought depreciated

Once you drove off

No wonder why baby momma wanna knock

Your f**kin' nose off blahh

Half the industry goin' bankrupt

You see 'em smilin' in the club with

Their drinks up cheers

Don't let that television fool ya

Off camera they sweatin' and stressin'

My young students let me school ya

The diamonds ain't worth half what

You bought them for no

Soon all that Gucci don't fit and

Now you out of dough

One day your pocket's alright

And now they all wrong

F**k you gon' do when it's all

Gone Talkin' 'bout the

Money the root of all evil deceivin'

Cause even my closest people tryin'

To get me for my money

Cause envy breeds jealousy

Jealousy breeds hate they on the

Taste for the money

In and it's all for the money

Cause envy breeds jealousy

Jealousy breeds hate they on the

Taste for the money

Lemme talk to these hoes woadie

Uhh

Uh imagine bein' worth a 100 mil'

Your potentials of havin' a billion is only real

Images more b**ches and they named in your will

A new mercedes a baby your aim was to chill

You choose a pussy or pop a bottle

Grow half a mil'

All you wanted was some entertainment

All she wanted was some litigation

Exploitin' a simple penetration

Tellin' the courtroom that I'm being evasive

She wanted to walk into the suntrust

She made me sign over my little son's trust

Take away the joy my little daughter brings

B**ch even wanted to take my daughter's rings

Misfortunes of a rich nigga

You watch bet while she look at the big picture

Uhh

Money the root of all evil deceivin'

Cause even my closest people tryin'

To get me for my money

Cause envy breeds jealousy

Jealousy breeds hate they on the

Taste for the money

Now where do I begin

They send you out to reel you back

In and it's all for the money

Cause envy breeds jealousy

Jealousy breeds hate they on the

Taste for the money

The best things in life are earned not bought
