Lowkey - Money lyrics

Yeah kid 8 real life, true facts listen Money can buy power but can't buy respect Money can't buy you love but it can buy s** Money can't buy you sleep but it can buy a bed Do you possess money or by money are you possessed Money can buy you a house but it can't buy a home So even with money you still feel all alone Money can buy friends but it can't buy a family Money can't make you happy that's just a fantasy It can buy a bath but it can't buy purity It can buy bodyguards but it can't buy security While my brothers in Iraq starve by eat Money can buy war but it can't buy peace Some do anything and everything to get the P's The society we livin in it's a necessity Its got the power to turn best friends into enemies Its funny cause money doesn't follow us when we leave I wanna buy my mom a mansion with a swimming pool I know people with plenty of ps that are miserable We all need to earn in this world we live in We all work for it, some still but many worship it Some sell poison for it some seek employment for It We need it to survive, so some clean the toilets for it I need papes to live for it but never will I live for papes So f** the queen I don't wanna see that b**hes face Many sell their souls for It, no not me Some will try to tell you it doesn't grow on trees But moneys paper, paper we get it from the trees Not the route of evil just the root of inequality Most think they'd be happy if they only had more of it Some wasted some feel guilty cause they're born with it Some have got the nerve to say your fortunate for fortuning? it The truth is you don't need a fortune to be fortunate Money can buy power but can't buy respect Money can't buy you love but it can buy s** Money can't buy you sleep but it can buy a bed Do you possess money or by money are you possessed Money can buy you a house but it can't buy a home So even with money you still feel all alone Money can buy friends but it can't buy a family Money can't make you happy that's just a fantasy Oi, you see cause money is a major issue And superficial it can make people love you now but will they miss Poor people crave it its always an issue Rich people save it and use it as tissues Most people misuse money They buying j**els and clothes Flossin today tomorrow yet they bout to broke People can't cope without moneys Even sadder that to most people you're nothing without money And imagine life without money Take it back to B...in everyone farms it ain't called gardening Were living of the resources god gave Societies made it so the upper cla** have all got slaves 9-5 robots some take their clothes of Some use a net bag and some use their mouth to hold box Millionaires control our blocks They make it, and new twenty pound note has got the star of david Anything that they know we like they freemase It Meaning that they give it a price, we gotta pay for it First we gotta save for it, some people work just to rave with it Starving kids in Africa are craving it Give a bit and you could save a kid Give a bit more and they could have water where they live Fam were not poor in relation to the current world state f** the queen too yeah and f** adam smiths face Were all in the switch chase fam We all chase the witch im guilty too But I hate the people that are making it Printing it and changing it To stop people duplicating it They put a special face in it so you can't forge it Some people die for it, hurt people lie for it Some get mad, some cry for it, over try for it k** for it Hustle anything and steal for it Levels, bottom line money is the devil Money can buy power but can't buy respect Money can't buy you love but it can buy s** Money can't buy you sleep but it can buy a bed Do you possess money or by money are you possessed Money can buy you a house but it can't buy a home So even with money you still feel all alone Money can buy friends but it can't buy a family Money can't make you happy that's just a fantasy
