J Lyles - Love Over Dollars lyrics

[Intro:] Listen up, I don't want Ya'll going into 2017 money hungry Money is not the only thing you can get in this life Money can buy you a bed it can't buy you sleep It can buy you a book, it can't buy you knowledge Money is not everything God is, love is Spread love, I told you [Verse:] Yeah money is vital But never put yo faith in a dollar bill Never think a shiny coin make you a star Never think the money spent on yo picket fence Make you better than a n***a sleeping in a car We got n***as out here struggling to make ends Meet because the government don't treat them Ain't no way we got a hooper making 20 mill While the homeless in the town collectin' pennies still Penny pinchin' corporations spreadin' greediness around the nation They don't really love us n***a you don't know nobody Not trying to glamorize self, stead of spreadin' love to others This an epidemic and I'm finished with the systematic livin' of a money greedy nation They say love conquers all so I'll spread it 'til comparisons of wealth isn't in the conversation You ever heard of the healing component? It's better than paying bills with a bonus or a tennis shoe with heels with a Jordan Just to show yo friends you got bands doc This is better than a mill to yo Hanco*k Because without this, life is but a dagger No Lauryn Hill n***a nothin' even matters So orange peel this back like the love was in yo grip, bite into a life fulfilling factor Love conquers all That's what they sayin' on my side of the globe in they church clothes Ain't you ever felt the real love from the church folk Not the hypocritical kind from a church show The one's that's fiend-ing for the dollar Makin' church go-er's pockets bounce while the preacher out here ballin' Money's the root of all evil Blind to the fact that the church is not the building but the people Satan can sing in a choir I just thought that you should know You wouldn't be leadin' people astray If love is really what you show So, if you continue to showboat I might just come through with love And show that worldly possessions don't got not a thing on my Lord up above [Outro:] These rappers talkin' dollars be really fake I ain't in it for the Prada, so anyways... I been in these waters like Mickey J I been tryna spread love and truth Through the music without any pay (Love conquers all ) x16 Please don't bring that hate upon yo life Just for all these crooked dollar signs Take a look around and then you'll see Thank God his precious love is all we need (Thank God his precious love is all we need) x3 Love Conquers All
