G-therz - Power of the Dollar$ Lyrics

It's the power of the dollars
Power of the dollars
It's the power of the dollars
Dollar dollar bills y'all

It's the reason why some still live today
Motivating many to live only with a pay
Especially when it is in ya face
Driving you to want more riches made
Really all it takes is a dollar and a dream
Promising yourself that you gotta get some cream
Either through hard work or an easy pay
Collecting all the earnings, saving on each we make
If I accumulate enough, I could be known as successful
Even if I am not as satisfied in my head though
But at least enough so that I got a house
And still have enough to help my mama out
And if there's excess, I might flaunt some wealth
And spend some luxurious things on myself
To show off my financial status
Let everyone know that I am so lavish
Like jewels and clothing and shiny cars
Or let the value grow with the finest art
Maybe give it to my community
And give some unfortunate an opportunity
See money measures values from precious metal rings
To necessities, we put it over everything
That's why it feels like we're always needing it
It's one thing getting it but it's another keeping it

It's the power of the dollars
Motivated for the prosperity and greed
They say "time is money"
So go get ya money 'cause it don't grow on trees
It's the power of the dollars
It makes you want dough, ignoring evil deeds
They say "time is money"
So go get the cash, it rules everything around me

The reason that some live is the reason some die
All because of the infected greed in their minds
Rotting their hearts so they don't f*cking care
Keep every penny with exactly none to spare
Where they no longer consider ethics
Just waiting for when they will get their check quick
'Cause if they can stack their cash into a tall tower
They just see it as a way to gain more power
And when they flaunt where their status at
They know you're jealous and they're glad ya mad
That's how they feel better in their ugly souls
To make you feel bad 'cause they feel untouchable
They think it's all about the dollars yo, once ya got dough
Worrying's impossible and all the problems fold
'Cause all you gotta do is give a bit from ya pot of gold
But matter of fact it's the beginning of the drama though
Ain't easily seen however from ya opticals
'Cause the good life exactly ain't a promise told
If you pay the price of being dishonorable
It repeats through mankind, it ain't stopping so
Minds corrupt until their time is up
All for the chase of diamonds 'cause
Cash rules everything if you got it all
But if the price can be your life, how much can a dollar cost?

It's the power of the dollars
Motivated for the prosperity and greed
They say "time is money"
So go get ya money 'cause it don't grow on trees
It's the power of the dollars
It makes you want dough, ignoring evil deeds
They say "time is money"
So go get the cash, it rules everything around me

Go get ya money
But is it really worth it?
'Cause what's the true value
If it's all about money?
Shit

I'm not saying that you can't strive for your fam to survive
By getting your life out there for fortune
But I'm saying don't be taking your fair earned savings
And be wasting it all on pairs of Jordans
'Cause if I spend a whole paycheck on some crazy shit
Now that there don't exactly make me rich
But if you got a million bucks, don't be all greedy
Take out at least one dollar to give to the needy

That's why they also say money is the root of all evil
So is it really worth the green to be supreme
If you're just gonna be like one of those corrupt people?
Think about that
It doesn't cost anything to let your mind think freely
