Money means nothing

My people mean everything

Promise when

I got little more money that

I will never change

Plus still the same

I kept my feet on earth

And I kept my promise

I kept my people first

My friends and my family help make a man of me

When i was down at

Ya'll lent a helping hand to me

So I return in the favour

I passing forward

Adversity dont run away from it run towards it

Face it and brace it

I promise that you could make it

Time spent with your family you should keep that secret

Is more worth then any amount of money?

So i never let the money snatch that from me

People get money and they start actin funny

Its the money that making they world you seebut see if i get some then we all gettin somthin

Cuz money aint the world to me

I do it for the people the people the people

Cuz money aint the world to me

The people the people the people

Cuz money aint the world to me

Daddy was a garbage man

Momma worked real hard

Me i'm a common man

And the pi on the lord

Smart smith admit it

You didn't have a million dollars

Only thing you said to me was don't kill you makes you strongerhumble beginningmakes a sweeter endin

Look at Oprah

Winfrey, Tupac, and

John Lennon

In rolls sit goes

What your next move

Now you have a good president what you gone do

Be a better man

Let a freiend a hand

Grow spiritedly

Help out your community

Is the love that mama was cooking

That making taste good

Is the people not the money

That makes the neighbourhood

People get money and they start actin funny

Its the money that making they world you seebut see if i get some then we all gettin somthin

Cuz money aint the world to me

I do it for the people the people the people

Cuz money aint the world to me

The people the people the people

Cuz money aint the world to me

You see I do it for the love

Sometimes i do it just because

But for some reason i can't explain

I didn't do for the bucks

See Nappy

Roots is a movement

That hovers a class abovethe average and the obvious

Sell the conscious like a lot of this

We struggle from time to time

Did the opposite of a lot of us

But a hard word pays off

I'm leaving proof and promise in this

Educate yourself so when you finally see some dollars and cents

You say you want but proof that soon you gonna make it

But make it to your grandchildren's kidsbecause they are the future

We are the one that are damaging it

Abuse is an opportunity with revolution, and contaminates

Don't make any damn sense

His movie doesn't have a sequel

If you don't do for you and your kidsthen do it for the rest of the people

People get money and they start actin funny

Its the money that making they world you seebut see if i get some then we all gettn somthin

Cuz money aint the world to me

I do it for the people the people the people

Cuz money aint the world to me

The people the people the people

Cuz money aint the world to me
