lyrics

Hook

They just want the (money man) they just want the (fame yall), they just wanting everything (this world can give)/ but I don’t want the (money man), I don’t want the (fame dog) I ain't wanting nothing that (this world can give)

Vs.1

Ay man this worlds trying to lure me in, the enticement and allure of sin/ telling me that fame will bring me happiness, false again/ they say abandon God, pursue money, fame, and pride/ forget working a 9 to 5, get rich or die trying/ how many tried and came up empty? Try plenty/ I ain't basing my life off stacking up benjis or 6 Bentleys/what’s fashion? Just a means of temporary satisfaction/ trying to mask self-esteem as self confidence that mans lacking/ women please, have a little respect, your more than your sex/ more than diamond necklaces that hang from your neck/ more than your curves, or the sound of your voice, or pro-choice/ more than videos or dancing and getting them things cracking/ you’ll never find identity appealing to God/ by trusting in mans acceptance or religious facades, life’s hard/ we can press, we can search, we can look, but never find/ anything outside of God that will gives us our peace of mine

Hook

They just want the (money man) they just want the (fame yall), they just wanting everything (this world can give)/ but I don’t want the (money man), I don’t want the (fame dog) I ain't wanting nothing that (this world can give) x2

Vs.2

I ain't impressed with a particular race, or color of skin/ God created all men equal and susceptible to sin/ so what’s the profit of my pigment? Does it make me more religious? / More intelligent or ignorant? Does it make me more a Christian?(no)/ physical traits shouldn’t define your mind state/ or incline ones faith to be determined, just wait/ if we move away the blinds then our eyes could see straight/ and we could see that such pride most the times just brings hate/ so why boast in my appearance if it’s something I couldn’t choose?/ so if you’re trying to walk His path then put your foot in His shoes/ I ain't trying to say imperfect or that I made up all the rules but/ I know the one who did so I’m just giving you the news/ it’s your beliefs that should shape you, make you, or break you/ and your beliefs should fall in line with the make that made you/ so why trip if they love you or not? Its noon stop/ the first will be last, and they can have the top spot

Hook

They just want the (money man) they just want the (fame yall), they just wanting everything (this world can give)/ but I don’t want the (money man), I don’t want the (fame dog) I ain't wanting nothing that (this world can give) x4
