Money Is the Root of All Evil

They say money is the root of all evil. So forgive me God for I'm about to be a sinner. You know I can't let my baby Just have water for his dinner. In this life you are only a winner If you're pockets are Fuller And frankly im tired of being a loser Only Rich at heart with nothing To show except for my hungry smile and my kindness .Now i want money and respect as interest, I'm willing to Lose my integrity as an investment. No more time for sitting around the fire with family and sharing fairy tales About the rich men of the city,the kings and queens of the streets of Egypt who praise Gold and shine like diamonds. So I dust my self as I enter the world of believers and dreamers and as I become one of them I'll forget my dusty roots and one day will convince them that it is better to sin while you in the world because it's no different from hell oh well only when I die and reach heaven will I give up the riches of earth cause I can't live like an angel when I got no wings.
