Lyrics: 

[VERSE 1]
Tell me what you want in life
Money, power, sexy wife
Rat race is running ‘round 
So join the chase, here take this knife
And dip it in the avarice 
To complement your dish
Eat up my friend, yeah you just might get rich
Off the money the power and fame
Everyone calling your name
No longer time to complain
Just sit back and let it rain
Hundreds down onto the floor 
Leave the people wanting more 
Cause with all this cash
Yeah you’re the one that they’ll love and adore
Throw away, all of your hopes and dreams
Cause only matter matters let nothing in-between
You and your capital, which I’ll capitalize to emphasize 
That green should be the only color glowing in front of your eyes
Let others despise while you devise a way to generate 
Bread out of their dread, profit-powered template 
One track mind, no time to contemplate
Death or the divine when dough is on your dinner plate

[CHORUS]
We gon’ get that money yeah we gon’ get that money 
I don’t wanna say it’s funny 
Cause this ain’t no laughing matter
Yet when the checks clear we getting fatter and fatter
But it don’t matter 
This the life we were sold 
Living lavish every second till the day we grow old
Winning all the time, top-notch, yeah we own the gold 
Chips to the center, all in, we never fold

[VERSE 2]
Keep shooting for the top that’s all I seem to know 
Why would I pause to stop when I can just suit up and go
To the sky to the moon, it all seems to me
Like the stars are aligned this ain’t a dream you see
I’m at the top of the world, and nobody can stop me
Not even Mr. Miyagi hopped up on some molly
And I embrace the life of haste that I’m living it’s going great
Dollar after dollar, I prosper it’s no debate 
But then the doubt creeps into the back of my mind
What if money’s not the cure I’m trying to find?
What if it’s a poison that’s equipped to my spine?
Filling the void in with wealth, bitches, and wine 
And now I’m struggling to see the goals I once had 
Can’t tell the difference between good and what’s bad 
Back at square one, like I’m boutta start undergrad
No longer having fun, pinned down to a notepad

[CHORUS]
We gon’ get that money yeah we gon’ get that money 
I don’t wanna say it’s funny 
Cause this ain’t no laughing matter
Yet when the checks clear we getting fatter and fatter
But it don’t matter 
This the life we were sold 
Living lavish every second till the day we grow old
Winning all the time, top-notch, yeah we own the gold 
Chips to the center, all in, we never fold

[VERSE 3]
Tell me what I want in life
Family, safety, loving wife
Help me understand cause these demands are causing so much strife
I hate to plead but can’t you see that I’m confused quite terribly
Been thinking too much now I’m a walking error I know I gotta be better 
And keep on track 
Cause life goes on and I’ll be left in the back of the room till the tomb’s my neighbor 
And still I labor away
Every single day
Cause I can’t find a way
To break through and be happy 
Yeah I know it’s sappy but it’s true
Now what would you do 
If the face you saw in the mirror were just a facade looking back at you
A fading mirage of a man split into two
Caged by his own mind, trapped in his own zoo
But still he pushes on
Searching for answers ’n aiming to right his many wrongs 
Part of the reason why he sat down to write this very song 
Hoping to change his ways today ‘fore he’s too far gone
And so he says so long
