Some people got to have it
Some people really need it

Listen to me y'all
Do things, do things, do bad things with it
You wanna do things
Do things, do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money, dollar bills, y'all

For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother

For the love of money
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know
Who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money

For the love of money
People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of money
People don't care who they hurt or beat

For the love of money
A woman will sell her precious body
For a small piece of paper
It carries a lot of weight
Call it lean, mean, mean green

Almighty dollar

I know money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother, can you spare a dime?
Money can drive some people out of their minds

Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Some people really need it
How many things have I heard you say

Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down
For the love of money, all for the love of money

Don't let, don't let
Don't let money rule you
For the love of money
Money can change people sometimes

Don't let, don't let
Don't let money fool you
Money can fool people sometimes
People, don't let money

Don't let money change you
It will keep on changing
Changing up your mind
