She said, "I'm young enough
I'm old enough to paint a smile
I tasted Heaven and Hell, Heaven stay awhile"
Good friend is a rare find
Their straight talk can ease your mind
A good pimp's gonna rob you blind
Money, money, money
I feel like a pawn in my own world
I found the system and I lost the pearl
It's breaking me down
Well, you won't wake you don't shake
You just make the sound go round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round
Bleed a little, bleed a little, bleed a little, bleed a little
'Til you freedom calls you
Somewhere out children laugh
Like meteors rolling down the grass
Mothers pull the night time in
Calling their children
With spoons in the wind
Calling their children
With spoons in the wind
Calling their children
With spoons in the wind
But not for me
She said, "I'm young enough
I'm old enough in the city machine
Where industries fill the fish full of mercury"
She said, "My struggle hurt but it turned me on
When the revolution came the chain was gone
On my feet to the sound of my heartbeat"
Money, money, money
Do you feel like a pawn in your own world?
You found the system and you lost the pearl
Like leaves coming down
You've got to wake, shake
Make your vibe go round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round
Bleed a little, bleed a little, bleed a little, bleed a little
Bleed a little, bleed a little, bleed a little, bleed a little
Money, money
Make you crazy
