[Intro]
Money money money money, money
Money money money money, money
Money money money money, money
Money money money money, money
Money money money money, money
Money money money money, money

[Verse 1]
Some people got to have it, yeah, some people really need it
Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do things, bad things with it
Well, you wanna do things, do things, do things, good things with it, yeah, uh huh
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money, dollar bills, y'all, come on now, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
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 meet
For that mean, oh mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, cash money
For the love of money, people will lie, rob, 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
For that mean, mean, mean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout

[Verse 2]
I know that 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
For the love of money, no good, no good, no good
For the love of money, don't sell your soul for the money, no, no
For the love of money, lay down, lay down, women will
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

[Chorus]
For the love of money, got to have it, I really need it
For the love of money, give it up, give it up, give it up, yeah
For the love of money, got to have it, some people really need it
For the love of money, give me, give me, give me, cash money
For the love of money, I need, I need
For the love of money, give me, give me, give me
For the love of money
For the love of money, how many things have I heard you say
For the love of money, don't let it, don't let it, don't let money rule you
For the love of money, how many things have I heard you say
For the love of money, don't let it, don't let it, don't let money fool you
For the love of money, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
For the love of money, got to have it, I really need it

Save your soul, save your soul, don't sell it
For that mean, mean, mean, mean green

[Outro]
People know that money, don't let money change you
Almighty dollar
Keep on tellin' you, people know that money, don't let money change you
Almighty dollar
Keep on, changin', yeah, changin' up your mind
You keep on, you keep on, changin', yeah, changin' up your mind
People know that money, don't let money change you
Almighty dollar
Keep on tellin' y'all, people know that money, don't let money change you
Almighty dollar
Keep on, changin', yeah, changin' up your mind
Changin', yeah, changin' up your mind
