Beanie Sigel - Dinero lyrics

[Intro: Jadakiss + Beanie Sigel] Welcome back Beans, this history baby Broadstreet bully set free Compound, compound Top 5 dead or alive, raspy And it's a shame what they'll do for that legal tender [Verse 1: Beanie Sigel] Money is the root of all evil is what they teach you That's what made me no rock his brother's keeper That's what made Outpost slaughter Rich Porter When you got a big supporter, you a mafia type Money, power, respect, comin' at order Dollars ain't sh** without the knowledge Mike got robbed, I robbed him Hammer got hammered, too much stylin' Too many cars in the garages Too much flauntin', 100 man entouragin' If money make your world go around, you got a problem But let's make no mistake, let's get it straight I've done seen paper take mothers off section 8 They say the early bird get the worm So I left home to earn And left no stone unturned As a young buck I hit the bricks, took the street route Y'all dudes are still in the nest with your beak out Whoever learned you dudes is incorrect Cause I don't trust no chick, mom no disrespect And you done wiped my a** and I done fed off your breasts If you dealin' them cards boo I'm cuttin' the deck [Interlude] So you think money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Those pieces of paper which should have been gold should have been a token of honor (That's why they love you when you don't got it Then soon as you get it they hate you) [Verse 2: Jadakiss] All four pockets, bankrolls that can't be tucked It's strange I done seen money break families up For 500 cash even seen your man get cut Postin' pictures on the 'Gram all bandaged up If you do get it, don't take it for granted bruh The counters are all marble and granite bruh If it's done right you can get a flower from a seed And the root of money is power for more greed Sad part about it, it's somethin' we all need I know ex-kingpins that's working at Wal-Greens Know a team of young swipers, shake up the mall scene Anything to get the money, they need it like morphine They give you lump sums then they tax you for it People ask you for it or they'll clap you for it Soon as you build it, they destroy it Then when you need it you can't get it You get it? You can't enjoy it [Interlude 2] Money is a tool of exchange which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears. Or of the looters who take it from you by force. (Money)
