Money Lyrics - Burning Bridges - Ludacris

(Money) the root of all evil 

Deceiving cause even my closest people tryin' to get me for my (money) 

'Cause envy breeds jealousy, jealousy breeds hate 

They on the taste for the (money) 

Where do I begin? They send you out to reel you back in 

And its all for the (money) 

'Cause envy breeds jealousy, jealousy breeds hate 

They on the taste for the (money) 

(Money) my biggest gift and my curse 

More money, more problems tell me what's worse 

Getting audited by the government, giving up millions to the IRS 

Or having to take a paternity test from a bitch I never met 

I'm getting sued by my own family member, all cause my dog bit her 

And she was the one who walked up and put her hand out, 

And now she got her handout 

It's driving me crazy, almost as if this shit was planned out 

What else can anybody do to me? 

It ain't new to me when every time I turn around 

Another money hungry motherfucker suing me 

Truthfully, I've had it up to here 

And it don't help that Forbes reports what I'm makin every year 

They listen closely, and I was really ? now 

That I was told to go to school, graduate and get a job 

But I'm a Hip Hop cash king, rapper from the South 

And everybody wants the easy way out 

The root of all evil deceiving cause even 

My closest people tryin' to get me for my (money) 

'Cause envy breeds jealousy, jealousy breeds hate 

They on the taste for the (money) 

Where do I begin? they send you out to reel you back in 

And its all for the (money) 

'Cause envy breeds jealousy, jealousy breeds hate 

They on the taste for the (money)

Yeah, rappers foreclosin' on their houses 

Can't keep up the payments, they owe a couple hundred thousand 

Say they making millions, and bills steady pillin' 

Diamonds on their neck, they kids' stomach out here growlin 

Get your priorities in order nigga 

You talk about it, but you really can't afford it nigga 

That car you bought depreciated once you drove off 

No wonder your baby momma wanna knock your nose off 

Half the industry going bankrupt 

You see em' smiling in the club with their drinks up 

Don't let that television fool ya 

Off camera they sweating and stressin 

My young students, let me school ya 

The diamonds ain't worth half what you bought them for (no) 

Soon all that Gucci don't fit, now you out of dough 

One day your pocket's alright now they all wrong 

Fuck you gonn' do when it's all gone

Uh, uh 

Imagine being worth a 100 mill 

Your potentials of having a billion is gone to real 

Images, more bitches and they name to your will 

A new Mercedes, a new baby, your aim was to chill 

You choose a pussy or pop a bottle, grow half a mill 

All you wanted was some entertainment 

All she wanted was some litigation 

Exploiting a simple penetration 

Telling the courtroom that I'm being evasive 

She wanted to walk into the SunTrust 

She made me sign over my lil son' trust 

Take away the joy my lil daughter brings 

Bitch even wanted to take my daughter's rings 

Misfortunes of a rich nigga 

You watch BET while she look at the big picture 

The root of all evil deceiving cause even 

My closest people tryin' to get me for my (money) 

'Cause envy breeds jealousy, jealousy breeds hate 

They on the taste for the (money) 

Where do I begin? They send you out to reel you back in 

And its all for the (money) 

'Cause envy breeds jealousy, jealousy breeds hate
