Sometimes, sometimes the realest thing you can do
is not evaluate the lives of others, but evaluate your own life and motives

My childhood is a touchy subject
All i recall is wonderin' is this done yet?
Then one day all of a sudden it was
And I wondered why I tried to skip ahead so much
Such a rush to grow up never really got in touch
With my fun youthful side I would have loved so much
See i was busy planning never really understanding
That my brain it was expanding but the fate that I was handing myself
Was developed by a false sense of wealth
Doctors fees only reason that I worry 'bout my health
Workin' hard only for the benefit of someone else
Until the day I awoke from my slumber
Before, only money on my mind I was stubborn
But the real value of it I wonder
Funeral attendance now that's a real number

Chorus:
We aim for it, we pray for it
We change for it and we pay for it
We aim for it, we pray for it
We change for it and we pay for it
We aim for (money) we pray for (money)
We change for (money) and we pay for it
We aim for (money) we pray for (money)
We change for (money) and we pay for it

Money, money, money on my mind all the time
Until the day I opened up my eyes realized
That I had been so blind, so deprived
My inner child died I forgot it was alive
I was countin' dimes, I was chasin' cash
Now I'm countin smiles chasin' shit that makes me laugh
I be livin' fast but somehow I make it last
Tell the doc' don't need a cast Imma work with what I have
See the truth is somethin' you only get if you ask
Life is like a party everybody wears a mask
Then one day I awoke from my slumber
Before, only money on my mind I was stubborn
But the real value of it I wonder
Funeral attendance now that's a real number

(Chorus)
