Jelleestone - Money, Pt. 1 Lyrics

Money can't buy me happiness
But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want
Any time that I want, get high when I want
Money can't buy me happiness
But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want
Any time that I want, get high when I want

Wake up in the morning
Try to make a move, every day gotta work
Blue collar on the bus just to punch a card
Said you wanna battle poverty, nigga, get a job
Working nine to five, job is hard
Life is hard, right and left of Rexdale Boulevard
It's just factory jobs
That got most my people sweating every day
Wipe the sweat from the brow, what you gon' do now?
Gotta pay your tax, gotta pay your rent
Making sure you keeping track of every cent
I always keeps a little for entertainment, 'cause

Money can't buy me happiness
But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want
Any time that I want, get high when I want

Stone poet, know it, better than Bo know it
When my flow hit, it gon' motivate the whole shit
Keep your head up, smell like a setup
Too many tryna get down while we tryna get up
So defend yours, I'ma defend mine
Look how this money got my peoples locked doing pen time
I'll see y'all when you get home, for all my niggas dead and gone
Rest in peace, I'll see y'all before too long
'Til then, I'ma keep building
I'm trying to grow old with enough money to feed my great-grandchildren
'Cause I'm still true, and still ain't nothing move but the money
Niggas'll still kill you in the streets for a fin, dummy
Money haffi mek, money haffi spend
From the guilder to the yen to the Benjamin
I live the hood life, I wanna live the good life
With a good wife to kiss good night like "mwa"

Money can't buy me happiness
But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want
Any time that I want, get high when I want
One-point-five mill', I ain't gots to front
Money can't buy me happiness
But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want
Any time that I want, get high when I want
Japan to Amsterdam, mic in my hand

Can't buy you happiness, no

I came up a poor nigga, raw nigga
Hungry like you ain't never saw a nigga, and trust me
Wish I stayed in school, instead I played the fool
Standin' on the corner choppin' rustys, custys
Poliggy want to bust me, cuff me, kids 'cross town want to rush me
'Cause they bitches want to f*ck me
Make me want to holla
Another day, another dollar, y'all, check the ring around the collar
F*ck the ray ray and the lay-lay
Mek ya know bluntly seh well den, when I work I must get pay
Like every day, broke niggas get no say
In the streets with no loot, might as well be mute
And dollars make sense, so let's talk about this
Money hand over fist, the root of all evil
It's deluded all people
Inside you're hollow, but your pockets is fat, you need to fix that
Take control, what's being wealthy if you ain't healthy?
What be it a man to gain the world and lose his soul
Said the world's so cold
It's inter-outer international
Any way it come, it gotta go
And any way it go, it's gotta come, bring mine in lump sums
I'm talking 'bout the dough

Money can't buy me happiness
But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want
Any time that I want, get high when I want
Ah, ah, ah
Money can't buy me happiness
But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want
Any time that I want, get high when I want
One-point-five mill', I ain't gots to front
Money can't buy me happiness
But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want
Any time that I want, get high when I want
Japan to Amsterdam, mic in my hand
Money can't buy me happiness
But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want
Any time that I want, get high when I want
I'm trying to buy my moms a house, I ain't gots to front
Money can't buy me happiness
But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want
Any time that I want, get high when I want
Slide when I want, haha
Money can't buy me happiness
But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want
Any time that I want, get high when I want
Ha, ha, ha
