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 hadAnd 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
