The Root Of All Evil Video (MV)

Cash rules everything around me (cream)
Dollars stacking tall but the fall is (mean)
Selling my soul and the cost is greed (greed)
Running circles round me all I see is (green)
Cash rules everything around me (cream)
Dollars stacking tall but the fall is (mean)
Selling my soul and the cost is greed (greed)
Running circles round me all I see is (green)

I'm on that paper chase more than stacking a face
I need it built inside the walls homie protecting the safe
That's filled with the real jewels that's the soul of the crew
Take my eyes before I let my prize fall in a pool
I never sink below the edge of where the money takes me
Sold to the green to get me fame and admiration
Now the house I built will stay strong for generations
Sacrificing everything just for your entertainment
I got what you want yeah i got what you need
Plant seeds a tree will grow to bring shade and some peace
But bring a piece for protection it's the source of greed
Talk about it in the songs 'cause it got me indeed
I can't trust nobody else or who was signed before me
Can't teach me anything the cash already told me
Diamonds bring a different me out check the time on rollies
High tech and high fashion armor like I'm Tony

Cash rules everything around me (cream)
Dollars stacking tall but the fall is (mean)
Selling my soul and the cost is greed (greed)
Running circles round me all I see is (green)

And put yourself in my position
Take a step down even ground and listen
What would you do meals started going missing?
But a business promised mills hidden percentage
I'm feeling like this'll make a killing
Even if I never spend it am I winning?
Carried all that baggage now I know it's time to finish
Cross the line dot the I's but I just wanna fill it (over)

This rap thing yeah it's making new slaves
We changed the work and put diamonds up on the chains
And I'm a hypocrite always thinking inside their lane
Where they want me in my clarity jotting this on the page
Sense of independence we all saluting the guap
Put the bag before our soul and it's coming straight from the top
Had to check myself again yeah I been feeling the rot
Infected melodies drilling green bling from the rock
You gotta Listen
Mind over matter what happens when they take control and leave our discipline shattered
What we're meant to be lost in other motives scattered
Told we're evil when we're servants to good it's all backwards
I can tell you it ain't worth all the pain
When you look their eyes only see the flaws that you wanna change
The world looking at you the same
Take your chances cause the pressure either break you or it make you a name

Cash rules everything around me (cream)
Dollars stacking tall but the fall is (mean)
Selling my soul and the cost is greed (greed)
Running circles round me all I see is (green)

See how we treat our wealth
Partly defines who we are when we got nothing else
That's why I give it to the Lord He blessing me with health
Forget the fame and fortune I just want my presence felt
Remember me for who I serve not what I made myself
That's the change I want to see in the this world
A smile shines brighter than the prettiest pearl
But showing face can be deceitful if you let it unfurl
Cause there another hidden voice behind these little boys or girls
I hear the vultures

And see the devil in our culture
Traumatized by the lies it's getting older
By my time profess I had done told you
Scriptures paint pictures truth is unfolding yeah
Still I'm checking my balance thinking I can take it with me they exploiting my talents
Staring at the wall man at this point I'm just shouting
The same lines and they criticizing me for my palette
Spot the difference but that's the world we live
Take it from another human shame came from sin
And we put that on each other like it ain't start within
Had you question 'bout yourself now you questioning them
Like am I good enough?
And how you gonna say that you can't measure up?
What's like when you pray?
Do you give all the love
To yourself or away?
'Cause in the end what's it matter if you don't receive grace

Cash rules everything around me (cream)
Dollars stacking tall but the fall is (mean)
Selling my soul and the cost is greed (greed)
Running circles round me all I see is (green)

I spoke to God the other day about the money the mission and what to change
He said He thought we were done with all the games
He'd provide more than anything I can put in the bank
I got a purpose goes beyond all the green
Beyond a team put on for the creator of everything
Forget the change and what being rich can bring
I wanna change just to see what a rich spirit can bring
