Money Isn’t All Lyrics

[Intro]
Money isn't all, worse when life is gone
Little girls & little boys
Sing this song with joy

[Chorus]
Money isn't all, right
But getting it is alright
The cheddar cheddar
She loves my car
So she wanna do it all night
I let her, let her

[Verse 1]
Easy does it, girl you love it
Don't go out with people outfit
L'Oreal Kiss, Gucci Pelvis
Living di star life must be Elvis
Pay di landlord fi buy di building
German vehicle space ship engine
Blood blood diamonds, Jewish jewelry
Me & a white girl puffing a doobie
I'm not done yet, need a day jet
Now is di right time, Rolex bracelet
Buy up some horses, how many race left?
Go every Watsons, so mi a place bet
Send fi Kahira, come a di States yes
Higher than high school, look pon dem grades deh
Get some computer, build up a place yeh
Teach di Gaza youths, build up dem brains yeh
[Chorus 2x]

[Verse 2]
What is di motive, getting a house built
Money being counting, high as a mountain
Life is a journey, rollercoasting
Yesterday sadness, wishing and hoping
Today's better, La Vida Loc'ing

Champagne toasting, High grade smoking
Loving di best girls, getting di most kids
School & playgrounds, toys and those things

[Chorus 2x]
