Chorus: It's all good to have a house and expensive cars Nice coats for your spouse and your living large It's all right to have Rolexes, to have a Lexus Mercedes Benz's, money that horrendous It's OK to live lavious you got to have this advice in your life so that you might think twice Why have these things that can burn in an inferno? As for me I work day by day for something that’s eternal
Verse one: I can't believe what's going on now a days Nothing but praise for these temporary material things It's everywhere I look on TV and billboards In movies and magazine pages, even at the awards Money, gold, fancy cars, diamond rings It's in the way that they look, it's in the songs that they sing Not to put it down, cause money makes the world go round And even for a pound, people lay their whole life down Now, I'm talking about idol worship, if money's your God Then that's when it becomes wrong and this is your song I'm down with cash but it ain't my life center I'm down with the eternal having fun like Steve Urkel See it's the root of all evil man I thought you knew So take control of it before it gets control of you It isn't all it's cracked up to be So what you see on TV, most of it's fantasy and...
Chorus
Verse two: Bling Bling I see these videos cats sporting diamond rings Bragging bout what they own and all the joy that it brings And I'll admit at times my flesh be like yeah that's tight But the Spirit hits and convicts saying that ain't right Don't get it twisted or you'll miss it living large ain't no sin But you make mistake when you chase money instead of pursuing him I know we all struggle trying to live nice so we hustle Caught up in the bustle trying to flex financial muscle To meet needs, fulfill dreams and our desires Everybody wants to be admired for the things that they acquire Ain't nothing wrong with it if you've been blessed problems start when emphasis Is placed on making more money than righteousness I sit back and observe cats who be paperchasin wasting There energy trying to make a G and live the life they see on BET or MTV They don't understand that rolle is rented Gotta be back to the store by 4 or it's a thousand dollars more
Chorus
Verse three: It's all good you want to try to prosper gee You wanna be like Dr. Evil but your more like mini-me On top of the world running things, money endless You'd do anything for cash even if it left you friendless A tremendous amount of thought is very necessary Better pray that your name is found in God's library Why have these things that can burn in an inferno? As for me I work day by day for something that eternal Its difficult to keep focus but remember this Things attained won't remain cause life is just a mist The only thing that will last in not that ice on your wrist But things done for Christ and his purposes So serve God and not money Serve others not your ego Cause riches fly like eagles spread wings like seagulls I'm storing treasure above heavenly currency That's insured by G.O.D not the FDIC
