LYRICS
He said...
The one who.. makes the money, fool
Is the one who.. makes the rules
And the one who.. makes the rules
Is the one who.. makes the money.. too
Any surprise the gap gettin' wider..
Now.. how do we get higher..
Use to need a ladder..
yeah now it's wider.. man
now you need to be..
your own spider.. man
to get to the prize and..
CHORUS
The money and the power
The power and the money
(Now) don't tell me.. money.. doesn't matter
The rich gettin' richer... even after
some people lost everything..
no don't tell me.. money.. doesn't matter
oh... money.. doesn't.. matter...
oh.. in.. the.. end.. money.. doesn't matter..
Yeah the one who makes the money
Now we can either change the rules
Or consider it useless chatter..
But don't tell me.. no don't tell me
Money doesn't matter
let me break it down for ya..
Easy to be judge... mental
from that ivory tower
lookin' down those noses
with all of that power
ever felt insecur... ity
where's the next meal coming from
don't try and tell me son
you know where I'm coming from
talkin' about security...
I know they're tradin' them
Securities for a livin'
then writin' off losers
like (it's) charitable given'
in truth they're not creatin'
anything in the process
just allocatin' capital, addin'
up the wins and losses
no they're not creat..in' anything son
somehow their tax break is a bigger one?
no wonder.. remember
with the money.. comes.. the power
not surprised
not a different outcome in the final hour
cause as you know
the final vote follows
the money and the power
It's not that I don't appreciate the hustle
Cuz . I do.. but call it what it is
Problem is.. my cuz is doin time
for being good at his own enterprise
he wasn't hurtin' anyone
before it was taxed.. and decriminalized
now that it's taxed... no surprise
yet those white collar crimes.. where dreams
were shattered.. some lost everything
It would make you laugh if it wasn't so sad
would make you cry if it wasn't so funny
now I'm not laughin'.. you know the routine
Yeah just follow that money, money
and you'll find the irony son.. see
REPEAT CHORUS
The money and the power
The power and the money
(Now) don't tell me.. money.. doesn't matter
The rich gettin' richer... even after
some people lost everything..
no don't tell me.. money.. doesn't matter
oh... money.. doesn't.. matter...
oh.. in.. the.. end.. money.. doesn't matter
but right here.. right now..
nothin' free... is put on a platter..
don't tell me.. (no don't tell me)
money doesn't matter
money, money, money... matters
the money.. and the power
the two go together
like bees to honey...
better believe.. money.. matters..
money, money, money...(pause) matters
BRIDGE:
What would you do.. with a million..
what could we do.. with a billion..
we take the money back..
we be takin' the power back..
like Robinhood.. do some good
for the bruised and tattered..
lets be the one who makes the money
the one who takes the honey
let me break it down for ya
money, money...
mother fuckin' matters.. uh huh
and those girls sing
The money and the power
The power and the money
(Now) don't tell me.. money.. doesn't matter
The rich gettin' richer... even after
some people lost everything..
no don't tell me.. money.. doesn't matter
oh... money.. doesn't.. matter...
oh.. in.. the.. end.. money.. doesn't matter
but right here.. right now..
nothin' free... is put on a platter..
don't tell me.. (no don't tell me)
money doesn't matter
