about

Money is the root of all evil. "Kids will rob and kill for the loot/ young lives catch a really raw deal and that's the truth/ bright futures go up in the air life poof/ I got proof/. "

This song was featured on an international hiphop compilation project put out by Actual Facts Records based out of Italy. Big shout out to them for reaching out. Much love. Shouts to Je$u$ (Germany) for this banger of a beat. Again some more of that #ThinkingManRap #MessageInTheMusic

lyrics

From knocking on heaven's door to bell chiming on hell's gate
The devil dangled forbidden fruit those destined for hell ate
The weakness of man...weakened by glam and the superficial
Conceivably damned, repeatedly scammed to pursue the issue
Of success by excess, it's more than dollars and cents
Man, it's a sense of belonging when you long for success
By any means necessary justified by the ends
Friends turn to foes and pretend...hence the time to make amends
It all depends on the agenda...money can turn loyal into pretender
Really... ain't no telling where you can end up
Enslaved by the currency, chasing paper with urgency
Searching for ways, submerging the pain for the gains certainly
That soul's momentarily solely a sole memory
Sold for gold, the goal for souls with no sensory
...Vision, that of a tunnel, with periphary blindspots
But life is an open road holmes you blissfully mind locked

Hook:

For the loot, shooooot...one of the evils that men do
One of many dividers making people resentful
Some people will go to hell and back to grip on a dollar bill
Soul's entrenched by the notion but a lot of it's ill-
Conceived...believing in salvation from currency
The single highest contributor to sins done currently
The weakness of man, weakness of woman go hand in hand
Inferiority complex not a part of the plan
Victimized by the lies and corporate interests
Ignorance is what supports their existence for instance
That little boy with a perception that's blurred
Single mother household, father figure's the curb
Inspiration his favourite rapper busting gats and tools
Packs to move...never cared to go to class or school
The face of a generation trying to find themselves
Lost in a matrix of information all by themselves
Nowhere to turn...seems like every turn is a cliff
Mind already manipulated by the burn of a spliff
Or better yet these hooligans packing burners for chips
Not concerned with the risk, not concerned the risk

Hook (2x)
1. for the loot...kids'll rob and kill...for the loot
2. Young lives catch a really raw deal and that's the truth
3. Bright futures go up in the air life poof
4. I got proof...

Mo money, mo problems...yeah we've heard it before
So instead of searching for scores, you ought to search for the Lord's
Grace...caught up in between a rock and a hard place
The quest for affluence is a far chase
Star gaze into the heavens, appreciate life...man it's a blessing
'Cause 6 feet deep is where we're destined
And the weapon of truth sometimes concealed by the lies
You can't take that money with you...when you die....
Open up your third eye...get the picture?
Re-write your life's scripture and make the edit a fixture
That you live by and follow...live today and look forward unto tomorrow
No point jumping hurdles to end in sorrow
Follow your dreams with some practicality in mind
Don't let false imagery on television catch you in a bind
If material things define you, not a lot can refine you
At this point the devil's drafted a deal and just signed you

Hook:
