Black Thought - Money Makes Us Happy lyrics

[Hook] Scared to d**h By this race I've run All that's left, is everything I want And I'm slowly losing my time Quickly taken back from me Seems my friends are few Mama said prepare to pay Cause happiness comes from money Happiness comes from money [Verse 1] Money makes us happy and, happiness is everything And everything is now and, now is more than never and There'll never be a moment where happiness doesn't matter so If you can quote the prices of your happy then get at us yo Get at us yo, learned it from right where you saw me posted at Grew up holding on to it all unless there's hope attached Cause me?, I don't hope for much, uh, if anything at all They said your cue will depend on what you can bring along So we was bringing everything that mattered to us most It was money and it was cars and it was habits to keeping both It was hundreds and it was scars and they just happened to be close It was hunger getting involved so then it was back to being broke And we just wanted a shot or 2, Melo on the follow through Promised me it would open these doors the way that they promised you So I just do, whatever it takes to f** with it all And enough to buy my way next to Jesus if I get lost, swag [Hook] [Verse 2] And they say money makes the world go, money makes your girl go Money turns some of its earners into something terrible Ask yourself where did the person who was in the mirror go? Why am I unrecognizable, so unbearable? In the pursuit of paper, it was then I wasn't there with you To do it over I'd've taken better care of you It costs money for the birth, more for the burial Purposely I'm saving up to purchase us a miracle We want more but need less, desires and requests I guess moving constantly at this rapid speed just Effected my velocity, then the evil got to me And strangely, it f**ed around and changed my philosophy I always heard it's not the quantity but it's the quality In all honesty, past mistakes seem to follow me Sometimes I feel like if my psychology will swallow me So my apologies, what's my problem yo?, it's gotta be the money [Hook] [Verse 3] And it was falling out the sky like if Doug E. Fresh was performing And we already had too much and so we was brushing it off us In pictures in front of back drops til like 4 in the morning In all of this Dapper Dan for all of your dapper adornment Or its falling on the badge in the murder of pick a name And my name fill the blank and I'm blanked and I drift away And you kiss my cold cheeks, chicks crying like I was Cochise, would you stand up And send me a slow speech?, because money makes us happy and, happiness is Everything, and everything is now and, now is more than never and, there'll never Be a moment where happiness doesn't matter so, if you can quote the prices of Your happy then get at us yo [Bridge] Money No surrender now and no restraints No complaints (Lord knows the price will only raise)
