Silver And Gold
[Verse:]
Okay it's Moses of the pharaohs
I'm a fire with no pitcher
Coming to America that better let me soak up
Pries I can't be runnin things, I swear we barely try
So many blood diamonds and you still can't find yo type
They got my people in prisons, nobody in school
I just bought a chain, I'm a slave to it too
If it's money or p***y I guess it's p***y, yall lose
Cus it's time of the nuttin and if I snooze then I lose
There's a crowd full of faces but I'm alone in this room
N***a jump to conclusions as long as it's not a broom
They yelling Pries is the man
Pries is the man
Yall ****s way too basic so you wouldn'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 fuckin violence
To see my mama smile the only thing I'm after
The joy from hearing my daughters' innocent laughter
Excuse me pastor, is sinning really a factor?
To see a greener pasture, if so I'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 don't want it if it don't bling bling
And to hell with the price cus the money ain't a thing
They say, they say"¦
F**k what the sayin! Yea we getting money b***h!
[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
