Gospel of Wealth Lyrics

[Hook]
Uh, yeah, let's go

I got a couple of friends, a couple I need to lose

I got one friend who's close though, he said he my manager

He never available but no disrespect, he's always working, gotta get that bread, but as I look around man we're already fed

Stacking food until everyone else die of starvation or can't help them-self, and the truth of the matter is that I do not care, fuck Andrew I wrote the Gospel of Wealth

And that's as far as it goes they don't care about health, no wealth without prosperity, no happiness without the both

And we need an abundance of something or we're the same, what makes us different isn't our color, it's our brain

Why you act so plain like your flavor is vanilla? I know we're beefing and that makes a little rocky road, but when you travel down the path that you're destined to go, you always end up with the rainbow and the pot of gold

[Chorus]
Money can't buy you everything, but it can make you lose it all, all, all

Be careful who you trust it ain't always as it seems, the people closest might have some different means

And I'll tell ya, and I'll tell ya

[Verse 1]
Fuck it, I got somethin' to say
No Dr. Dre in the studio I buy my beats, I have a couple rappers and they always askin' for feats

How you feel if I tell ya i'ma be a star? I get lectured on my songs like no holds barred

[Verse 2]
Please man, try and contain me

I'm breaking out it must be so entertaining, WHO GONNA? they always playin' and sayin' that i'ma be the next big thing

But have you seen my ring or my car how'd I get this far?

But nothin' matters if it can't be replaced like an arm

So I'm at the top 'cause they can't retrace me, a drawin' like Picasso man I keep on painting

[Verse 3]
Stating you're the best doesn't mean you are good

But it does really give you success

'Cause, false and fake are two different words but the combinations are commonly slurred

[Hook]
Uh, yeah, let's go

I got a couple of friends, a couple I need to lose
I got one friend who's close though, he said he my manager

He never available but no disrespect, he's always working, gotta get that bread, but as I look around man we're already fed

Stacking food until everyone else die of starvation or can't help them-self, and the truth of the matter is that I do not care, fuck Andrew I wrote the Gospel of Wealth

And that's as far as it goes they don't care about health, no wealth without prosperity, no happiness without the both

And we need an abundance of something or we're the same, what makes us different isn't our color, it's our brain

Why you act so plain like your flavor is vanilla? I know we're beefing and that makes a little rocky road, but when you travel down the path that you're destined to go, you always end up with the rainbow and the pot of gold

[Chorus]
Money can't buy you everything, but it can make you lose it all, all, all

Be careful who you trust it ain't always as it seems, the people closest might have some different means

And I'll tell ya, and I'll tell ya

(And I'll tell ya)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
