The Reason

Yeah, money

Without money what would we do?

We got a little idea

We see what's gone

We say, "Money is the root of all evil"

But there ain't nothing evil about money

Because we need that money

To pay the bills

To pay the rent

Banks folding

President scratching his head

The economy is bad

Wall Street about to lose their mind

Going up and down

Gas prices, up and down

Nobody knows what to do

You know what we need though

Money, where have you gone to?

Money, where have you gone to?

I gotta pay my bills

Gotta pay my rent

I'm hungry and I'm tired

But my money's all spent

Money, where have you gone to?

Money, where are you hiding?

I said, "Money, where are you hiding?"

I work like a dog, year after year

Like a ghost when I need you

You always disappear

Money, where are you hiding?

Money, why won't you stay a while?

I said, "Money, why won't you stay a while?"

You see we scrimp we save

Like to keep you around

When you needed, you're nowhere to be found

Money, why won't you stay a while?

Honey, get that money, yo

You go out and sell everything you own

Hell no

I'm a scrimp

I'ma keep on scrimpin' to the top

Ain't gonna stand on no corners

Shoo them

Money, why don't you like me?

Money, why don't you like me?

Was it something that I said?

Was it something that I done?

I always let you play me

But you never liked me, none

Money, why don't you like me?

Everybody needs money, what you gonna do?

Without that money never gonna get through

Everybody needs money, what you gonna do?

Without that money never gonna get through

Everybody needs money, what you gonna do?

Without that money never gonna get through

Everybody needs money, what you gonna do?

Without that money never gonna get through

Everybody needs money, what you gonna do?

Without that money never gonna get through

Everybody needs money, what you gonna do?

Without that money never gonna get through
