Dearly beloved I think it's time
We talk about the sh**, that rules our mind, yeah
The things that we give away just for a dime
Should be ashamed of yourself
It's just a goddamn crime
It's just a crime, baby
[Hook]
But uh, baby when it come down to it
Love ain't enough, it won't do it
I need that money
And if your fam won't do it
The government will beat your fam to it
They say give me them, dollars
Just need the dollars
Almighty dollar
Just give me the dollars
[Interlude]
But you'll never know what you need, truly
Cause baby all you care about is green, that green greed
And when it comes down to all of us
Who's feelings have died young it's all just because
It's all because of them, dollars
Since we were young we were taught the value of it
I need it, I want it
I dare a mother f**er tell me to put something above it
And not to spend it or trust it
And no the times ain't changed
If n***as need that change
They ain't afraid to blow out your brains
And ain't nobody safe, no matter the race
I'm tellin you the times, yeah
[Hook]
