Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Scared to death by this race I'm runnin'
All that's left is everything I want
Slowly losin' my time
Quickly taken back from me
Seems my friends are few
Momma said, prepare to pay
[Verse 2]
'Cause happiness comes from money
Money makes us happy
Money makes us happy
Money makes us happy
They say money makes us happy
Happiness comes from money
Money makes us happy
Money makes us happy
Money makes us happy
They say money makes us happy
[Verse 3]
Money makes us happy
And happiness is everything
And everything is now
And now is more than ever
And there never be a moment where happiness doesn't matter, so
If you could quote the prices of your happy
Then get at us, yo
[Verse 4]
Get at us, yo
Learned it from right where you saw me posted at
Grew up holdin' on to it all
Unless there's hope attached
'Cause me, I don't hope for much
If anything at all
They said your cue will depend on what you can bring along
[Verse 5]
So we was bringin' everything that mattered to us most
It was money and it was cars and it was habits to keepin' both
It was hunnids and it was scars and they just happen to be close
It was hunger gettin' involved
And then it was back to bein' broke
And we just wanted a shot or two
Mellow, wanna follow through
Promise me it would open these doors
The way that they promised shoes
I just do whatever it take to fuck with it all
And enough to buy my way next to Jesus if I get lost
Swag
[Verse 6]
Scared to death by this race I'm runnin'
All that's left is everything I want
Slowly losin' my time
Quickly taken back from me
Seems my friends are few
Momma said, prepare to pay
[Verse 7]
'Cause happiness comes from money
Money makes us happy
Money makes us happy
Money makes us happy
They say money makes us happy
Happiness comes from money
Money makes us happy
Money makes us happy
Money makes us happy
They say money makes us happy
[Verse 8]
Yeah
And they say money makes the world go
Money makes your girl go
Money turns some of us earners into somethin' terrible
Ask yourself, where did the person that was in the mirror go?
Why am I unrecognizable, so unbearable
In the pursuit of paper, it was then I wasn't there with you
To do it over, I'da taken better care of you
It costs money for the birth
More for the burial
Purposely, I'm savin' up to purchase us a miracle
[Verse 9]
We want more but need less
Desires and requests
I guess movin' constantly at
This rapid speed just effected my velocity
Then the evil got to me
And strangely it fucked around
Changed my philosophy
Always heard it's not the quantity but it's the quality
In all honesty, past mistakes seem to follow me
Sometimes I feel like if my psychology will swallow me
So my apologies
What's my problem
No, it's gotta be the money
[Verse 10]
Scared to death by this race I'm runnin'
All that's left is everything I want
Slowly losin' my time
Quickly taken back from me
Seems my friends are few
Momma said, prepare to pay
[Verse 11]
'Cause happiness comes from money
Money makes us happy
Money makes us happy
Money makes us happy
They say money makes us happy
Happiness comes from money
Money makes us happy
Money makes us happy
Money makes us happy
They say money makes us happy
[Verse 12]
It was fallin' out the sky like if Doug E Fresh was performin'
And we already had too much
And so we was brushin' it off
With some pictures in front of backdrops
Till like four in the mornin'
And all of this Dapper Dan for all your dapper adornment
Or it's fallin' on the badge in the murder of pick a name
And my name fill a blank
And I'm blank, then I drift away
And you kiss my cold cheeks
Chicks cryin' like I was Cochise
Would you stand up and send me a slow speech?
Because money makes us happy and happiness is everything
And everything is now
And now is more than ever
And there'll never be a moment where happiness doesn't matter
So if you could quote the prices of your happy then get at us, yo
[Verse 13]
Money
No surrender, no restraints
No complaints
Lord knows the price will only raise
[Verse 14]
Scared to death by this race I'm runnin'
All that's left is everything I want
Slowly losin' my time
Quickly taken back from me
Seems my friends are few
Momma said, prepare to pay
'Cause happiness comes from money
Happiness comes from money
Oh, oh
[Verse 15]
Happiness comes from money
Money
[Verse 16]
Hi, this is Amber J
And I'm here for the one, the only, my brother from another mother
The amazing, the talented
The guy in love to get money with
My friend, my family
This fly guy, my friends guy
And this is music for my friends
