Some people really need it (Oh, well)
 Some people got to have it (in vain)
 Listen here y'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it
 So you will do things, do things, do good things with it
 Talk about cash money, no help a

 For the love of money
 People will steal from their mother
 For the love of money
 People will rob their own brother
 For the love of money
 People can't even walk the street
 Because they never know who in the world they gotta beat
 For that lean, mean, mean green

 For the love of money
 People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
 For the love of money
 People don't care who they hurt or beat
 For the love of money
 A woman will sell her precious body
 For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight
 Call it lean, mean, mean green

 Almighty dollar

 I know money is the root of all evil
 Do funny things to some people
 Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime
 Money can drive some people out of their minds
 Got to have it, I really need it
 How many things have I heard you say
 Some people really need it
 How many things have I heard you say
 Got to have it, I really need it
 How many things have I heard you say
 Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down
 For the love of money
 All for the love of money
 Don't let, don't let, don't let money rule you
 For the love of money
 Money can change people sometimes
 Don't let, don't let, don't let money fool you
 Money can fool people sometimes
