Verse 1
You ever have negat (D minor) ive money?
That's depressing,
isn't it? You look at your bank account,
negative ten dollars.
That's how much I have now.
Negative ten.
That means I don't
even have no money now.
I wish I did.
I wish I didn't have anything.
I wish I just had nothing,
but I have less than that.
I don't have none.
I have not ten.
That's right. I don't know. I'm a big
Born to (E minor) be
Born to be
(D minor) Money, money, money, money
Most (E minor) folk ain't got no money
So (D minor) on to the next swine song,
don't be kept surprised
(E minor) Gotta give it to get it
Like we do a whole lot (D minor) more
givin' than gettin'
Biker (E minor) Social Security
Why (D minor) you keep takin'
my money? (Gsus4)
Come an (D minor) d go with the wind like Scarlett
O a spin, copped (E minor) a buzz,
then the buzz just policed it with a sting
Proper (D minor) buds, spot the duds
from the eager ones that grin
Be the (E minor) kindest ones to kill you,
guess the evil ones within
For every (D minor) drought on the rummy,
there's a leader flood of gin
Play your cards while there's cause
for a leisure runner
Sprint (E minor) to the ballot, slam your (D minor) balance,
make believe that it's a gavel
Pass the judgment vote to hush him,
like he's only speaking babble (E minor)
You (D minor) either get it or you don't,
take no credit for the loan
If I drop a jewel on you
but happen to crack your dome
In the process of Katrina,
any progress made to clean up
took the (E minor) soul from black (D minor) folk
Let the mud stains (A minor) re -up,
(D minor) in other words gentrified
Probably like the 10th reprise,
(E minor) so on to the next swan song, (A minor) dawg
Though (D minor) we (A minor) kept surprised, (E minor)
(A minor) mor bidly (D minor) mesmerized
Cordially, Ed invites you to
form your own view,
(E minor) or albeit step aside (D minor)
I'm a bee, born to (E minor) live like this
Born to live (D minor) like
Seems to be a recurring trend
amongst poor (E minor) people
Born to live like
Among (D minor) st brown -skinned people
Born to live (E minor) like this
Born to live like this (D minor)
She's not for you. (E minor)
I guess I rubbed her up the wrong way,
so... (D minor)
I'll try to fill her up when I can get her.
It's a (Gsus4) little fill up, fill up, you know?
It's (D minor) a sign that a time's worth
to kill Scott's rhymes.
Wonder, (E minor) is this the way?
Like, Joe Scott tryin'
out a (D minor) protein powder
that weak arms power.
(E minor) Brainstorms ain't strong,
so they pump rain showers full (D minor) of lead.
Instead, I'd rather fight
with graphite.
Opinionated leftist
is known to get the (E minor) facts right.
Never made a (D minor) death wish,
resented the past life.
Several ways to exit,
try not to (E minor) backslide
(D minor) Broke pockets, fixed sockets
on being wealthy
At all costs, die to live free and be healthy (A minor)
Try to (D minor) still help heaps with little to spare
Like a (E minor) tribal warrior
(D minor) who needs his weapon repaired
(E minor) Stared at the (A minor) face of (D minor) desperation
and reflected despair
1 % (E minor) of popula (D minor) tion
had neglected to care
(E minor) The other (A minor) 99 (D minor) were trying to find
methods to share
To make their mugs run dry
like de (E minor) hydrated deer (D minor) (E minor) (D minor)
than it used to be before,
because when you're rich,
the bank pays (E minor) you for being rich.
If you have a lot of money,
they give (D minor) you money,
because you have a lot of money. (E minor)
They say, you have so much money,
(E minor)
(D minor) that we should give you some. (D minor)
Because you have a (E minor) lot,
you should have more,
here, take more (D minor) money.
Take this guy's 15,
buck him, you should have...
It makes perfect sense. (E minor)
(D minor) He doesn't have enough, (E minor) you have a lot. (D minor) (E minor) (D minor)
(E minor) (D minor)
(E minor)
(D minor) (E minor) (D minor) (E minor)
(D minor) (E minor) (D minor) (A minor) (E minor)
(D minor)
Clap your (E minor) hands! (D minor)
