There's no money, there's no possessions Only obsession, I don't need that shit Take my money, take my obsession I just want to be heard, loud and clear are my words Coming from within man tell them what you heard It's about a revolution, in your heart and in your mind 'Til you find a conclusion, lost out in obsession Diamond rings get you nothing but a life-long lesson And your pocketbooks stressing You're a slave to the system, working jobs that you hate for that shit you don't need It's too bad the world is based on greed Step back and see Stop thinking about yourself, start thinking about? There's no money, there's no possession Only obsession, I don't need that shit Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession I don't need that shit Because everything is nothing And emptiness isn't everything This reality is really just a fucked up dream With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul Flip it inside out, it's a big black hole Take your money burn it up like an asteroid Possession, though you're never gonna feel the void Take it away and learn your best lesson The heart, the soul, the life, the passion There's no money, there's no possession Only obsession, I don't need that shit Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession I don't need that shit Money, possession, obsession Present yourself, press your clothes, comb your hair And clock in You just can't win, just can't win And the things you own, own you No! Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession I don't need that shit F*ck your money, f*ck your possession F*ck your obsession, I don't need that shit Money, possession, obsession, I don't need that shit
