j lyles - love over dollars lyrics
[intro:]
listen up, i don’t want
ya’ll going into 2017 money hungry
money is not the only thing you can get in this life
money can buy you a bed it can’t buy you sleep
it can buy you a book, it can’t buy you knowledge
money is not everything
god is, love is
spread love, i told you
[verse:]
yeah money is vital
but never put yo faith in a dollar bill
never think a shiny coin make you a star
never think the money spent on yo picket fence
make you better than a n-gg- sleeping in a car
we got n-gg-s out here struggling to make ends
meet because the government don’t treat them
ain’t no way we got a hooper making 20 mill
while the homeless in the town collectin’ pennies still
penny pinchin’ corporations spreadin’ greediness around the nation
they don’t really love us
n-gg- you don’t know n-body
not trying to glamorize self, stead of spreadin’ love to others
this an epidemic and i’m finished with the systematic livin’ of a money greedy nation
they say love conquers all so i’ll spread it ’til comparisons of wealth isn’t in the conversation
you ever heard of the healing component?
it’s better than paying bills with a bonus or a tennis shoe with heels with a jordan
just to show yo friends you got bands doc
this is better than a mill to yo hanc-ck
because without this, life is but a dagger
no lauryn hill n-gg- nothin’ even matters
so orange peel this back like the love was in yo grip, bite into a life fulfilling factor
love conquers all
that’s what they sayin’ on my side of the globe in they church clothes
ain’t you ever felt the real love from the church folk
not the hypocritical kind from a church show
the one’s that’s fiend-ing for the dollar
makin’ church go-er’s pockets bounce while the preacher out here ballin’
money’s the root of all evil
blind to the fact that the church is not the building but the people
satan can sing in a choir
i just thought that you should know
you wouldn’t be leadin’ people astray
if love is really what you show
so, if you continue to showboat
i might just come through with love
and show that worldly possessions don’t got not a thing on my lord up above
[outro:]
these rappers talkin’ dollars be really fake
i ain’t in it for the prada, so anyways…
i been in these waters like mickey j
i been tryna spread love and truth
through the music without any pay
(love conquers all ) x16
please don’t bring that hate upon yo life
just for all these crooked dollar signs
take a look around and then you’ll see
thank god his precious love is all we need
(thank god his precious love is all we need) x3
love conquers all
