Don'T Let It Make You

“I make the Money, It don’t make me “
Going to work every day, out here no excuse
Making Money, I make the money
It don’t make me 
Out here grinding by all means, finish a day’s work
Go get some rest 
Mission completed, I did my best, to pass this test 
Money is the root of all evil 
That’s what I was told 
Never greed, want to succeed 
Anyway it goes, but it’s been told
More times than before
That what good is a man, to gain the world and lose its soul
Don’t let the money, take full control
On earth you could live without it and be happy
But man makes you think you can’t with money sometimes a price is paid
At a bigger cost, its just currency, that has lost the value of its true meaning 
People use it and abuse it, don’t know its worth 
And if they lose it for good 
It will hit them where it hurts 
Put in the works and labor, and then the money you make will work in your favor
