[Intro:]
So why money should be a problem?
A dat mi waan kno
To di poorer man dem
(Rosetown)
Cause money deh yah nuff
(Annatown)
So hear weh we a seh nuh

[Verse 1:]
Yow, well money deh yah yuh just haffi know
How fi get it
Get a son now, so mi mek a vow fi get it
But I woulda neva stoop low fi get it
A gwaan do some dubs and stage show fi get it
Bounty killa a seh "hey yo, yallow" fi get it
Den mi hear Black Rob a seh "whoa" fi get it
Beenie man a seh "zagga zagga zow" fi get it
Elephant man a seh "you know! " fi get it
Den Buju a seh "til shiloh" fi get it
Mi see Bogle a dance pon him toe fi get it
A saxaphone Dean Fraiser blow fi get it
"Skibidiby" Hawkeye change di flow fi get it
Den di politician dem a sell gwoy fi get it
Ghetto yutes dem don't want allow fi get it
So a ganja di youths dem a grow fi get it
Get a visa, drop inna di snow fi get it
But a to di extreme some go fi get it
Nuff gyal turn New Kingston ho fi get it
Mi see nuff man stray til dem bow fi get it
Now man backyard dem all plow fi get it
Cause

[Chorus:]
Everybody wanna be a money maker
Drive a criss car, live in a skyscraper
Some, more time fi get dis likkle paper
Dem sell dem soul and forsake di creator
Everybody wanna be a money maker
Drive a criss car, live in a skyscraper
Some, more time fi get dis likkle paper
Dem sell dem soul and forsake di creator

[Verse 2:]
Den people sweat off dem brow fi get it
Dem woulda sell callaloo an pachow fi get it
Di farmer raise goat an cow fi get it
Nuff clothes di tailorman sow fi get it
Hairdresser weave an cornrow fi get it
People play lotto and bingo fi get it
Tink a likkle partner mi madda throw fi get it
While some juss beg and borrow fi get it
But sometime yuh haffi know how fi leff it
Do not kick off a man door fi get it
Do not rob a shop or a store fi get it
Or turn yuhself inna gigalo fi get it
It's the root of all evil, don't figet it
Work hard fi yuh money, and you won't regret it
Nuff woulda sell dem soul now fi get it
Til dem all end up a deathrow fi get it

[Chorus]
