It's not about the money
Money put the money in the bank
The money breeds greed
And greed is really bad
Money, money, oh I never really had
And I got by just fine not working
For the man
Thinkin' you gotta dollar
But you only gotta dime
I'ma hustle up your lovin'
To see the sunshine
The simple things and the simple things
And people only givin' a shit
When you hide yourself
Try mould to perfection
When you don't feel like feeding the mouth
Bite the hand that feeds your wealth
And that ain't good
For my mental health, oh no
They only give a shit
When you make it big
Frame my memory
When I'm dead and gone
Turn your back when you make a hit
But if you love me
Then you'll hold it down
They only give a shit
When you make it big
Frame my memory
When I'm dead and gone
Turn your back
When you make a hit
But if you love me
Then you'll hold it down
You gotta hold it down
Make a million dollars
But it ain't that much
When it passes through the hands
And they take their cuts
So put your faces on the poster
They got the people inside
When the debt rolls around
They go run and hide
East side to the sea side
South side to the middle
And of course I died
Head north to the border
To get the time over
And when the sun comes down
I surrender to the night
And I will kiss away my pride
And I know
It will find me one day
All in good time
They only give a shit
When you make it big
Frame my memory
When I'm dead and gone
Turn your back when you make a hit
But if you love me
Then you'll hold it down
They only give a shit
When you make it big
Frame my memory
When I'm dead and gone
Turn your back when you make a hit
But if you love me
Then you'll hold it down
You gotta hold it down
