The O'Jays - For The Love Of Money ( 1973 ). |
You see, dear brothers and sisters: ' While We Most Often Get Too Caught Up In The Rhythms And Harmonies To Honestly Even Notice It, They've Got A Message In All Of Their Own Music '... and, whether you comprehend it or not, It Has Always Been Motivated By Their Own Brotherly Love.

For The Love Of Money: Most People Will Do Almost Anything; And For Thousands Of Years They Already Honestly Have....
Money, money, money, money, money [6x]
Some people got to have it...
Some people really need it...
Listen to me y'all, do things
Do things, do bad things with it
You wanna do things, do things
Do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money
Dollar bills, yall
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're gonna beat.
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money!
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....
People, don't let money, don't let money change you;
It will keep on changing, changing up your mind!
There have always been: " Messages In Our Own Music ". |
Meanwhile, of course, There Has Always Been Two Sides To That Very Same Story.
After all, I'm Just Saying....
Ahava and Shalom.
May Yahweh's Own: Love and Peace - be, continually, upon you!
