(Verse)
Okay itâ??s Moses of the pharaohs
Iâ??m a fire with no pitcher

Coming to America that better let me soak up
Pries I canâ??t be runnin things, I swear we barely try
So many blood diamonds and you still canâ??t find yo type

They got my people in prisons, nobody in school
I just bought a chain, Iâ??m a slave to it too
If itâ??s money or #~!!@ I guess itâ??s #~!!@, yall lose

Cus itâ??s time of the nuttin and if I snooze then I lose
Thereâ??s a crowd full of faces but Iâ??m alone in this room
^!$$% jump to conclusions as long as itâ??s not a broom

They yelling Pries is the man
Pries is the man
Yall ^!$$%s way too basic so you wouldnâ??t understand

This the holy Koran
This the blood of the lamb
This that sunny church service now watchin prayers ends, word!

(Hook)
If money is the root of all evil
Why these chains make me free though?

They say mo money mo problems
But if I had a dollar I could solve em
Silver and gold, silver and gold

Silver and gold, silver and gold
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Silver and gold, silver and gold

(Verse)
Jehova, Job, please forgive em for they plottin this
Sometimes they use yo weakness as yo kindness

On that bended knee but not for your highness
Cause only fools fall in love, you think he lyin this
I was 19, sleepin with the lions

No fear for no barely tryin
Had strappers that only sell to clients
They had shot themselves, domestic $#&@in violence

To see my mama smile the only thing Iâ??m after
The joy from hearing my daughtersâ?? innocent laughter
Excuse me pastor, is sinning really a factor?

To see a greener pasture, if so Iâ??m sneakin past ya
(Hook)
If money is the root of all evil

Why these chains make me free though?
They say mo money mo problems
But if I had a dollar I could solve em

Silver and gold, silver and gold
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Silver and gold, silver and gold

Silver and gold, silver and gold
(Bridge x2)
But I donâ??t want it if it donâ??t bling bling

And to hell with the price cus the money ainâ??t a thing
They say, they sayâ?¦
$#&@ what the sayin! Yea we getting money (*##$!

(Hook)
If money is the root of all evil
Why these chains make me free though?

They say mo money mo problems
But if I had a dollar I could solve em
Silver and gold, silver and gold

Silver and gold, silver and gold
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Silver and gold, silver and gold
