Lyrics:
From knocking on heaven’s door to bell chiming on hell’s gate
The devil dangled forbidden fruit those destined for hell ate
The weakness of man…weakened by glam and the superficial
Conceivably damned, repeatedly scammed to pursue the issue
Of success by excess, it’s more than dollars and cents
Man, it’s a sense of belonging when you long for success
By any means necessary justified by the ends
Friends turn to foes and pretend…hence the time to make amends
It all depends on the agenda…money can turn loyal into pretender
Really… ain’t no telling where you can end up
Enslaved by the currency, chasing paper with urgency
Searching for ways, submerging the pain for the gains certainly
That soul’s momentarily solely a sole memory
Sold for gold, the goal for souls with no sensory
…Vision, that of a tunnel, with periphary blindspots
But life is an open road holmes you blissfully mind locked
Hook:
For the loot, shooooot…one of the evils that men do
One of many dividers making people resentful
Some people will go to hell and back to grip on a dollar bill
Soul’s entrenched by the notion but a lot of it’s ill-
Conceived…believing in salvation from currency
The single highest contributor to sins done currently
The weakness of man, weakness of woman go hand in hand
Inferiority complex not a part of the plan
Victimized by the lies and corporate interests
Ignorance is what supports their existence for instance
That little boy with a perception that’s blurred
Single mother household, father figure’s the curb
Inspiration his favourite rapper busting gats and tools
Packs to move…never cared to go to class or school
The face of a generation trying to find themselves
Lost in a matrix of information all by themselves
Nowhere to turn…seems like every turn is a cliff
Mind already manipulated by the burn of a spliff
Or better yet these hooligans packing burners for chips
Not concerned with the risk, not concerned the risk
Hook (2x)
- for the loot…kids’ll rob and kill…for the loot
- Young lives catch a really raw deal and that’s the truth
- Bright futures go up in the air life poof
- I got proof…
Mo money, mo problems…yeah we’ve heard it before
So instead of searching for scores, you ought to search for the Lord’s
Grace…caught up
