Oh yeah-eh-eh
Tell me, tell me, tell me

Thirty pieces of silver I said that was the price
You see the value man would put 'pon the blood of Christ
For Joseph it was twenty, they never liked his coat
For Bob a could more, they never liked of what he spoke
In spite of all these notes I see the pattern them developing
Morality secondary to money, greed and jealousy
That's how many fell you see and with that being said
I'd wondered if my brothers put a price upon my head

I've heard that money makes friends and money makes foes
But money, it is not all
'Cause when the dough ends and all the banks close
Tell me who can you call? Who can you call..
Tell me..

I've seen empires fall and wither down to dust
And all the money in the world it could not lift them up
Most brilliant of ornaments crumble down to rust
Because we put we faith in lust and disregard the trust
Hell, I know the rush
I've had the feeling take me over
The power in my hand when all the band over my shoulder
The bands of money coming in, will change the ones around you
Be wise you know because it cannot stop you getting older, but still
I admit that I get caught up in the game
Saw the legends do it, naturally I did the same
So I'm rolling round the city
Miss Jamaica deh deh with me
Earth deh 'pon me platter knowing all of this no matter

'Cause money makes friends and money makes foes
But money, it is not all
'Cause when the dough ends and all the banks close
Tell me who can you call? Who can you call..
Tell me..

And do you think that with the last breath that you take
You'll be sitting thinking 'bout the money that you made
Houses that you lived in, cars you drove, the bills you paid
And yet it is the focus what we do and what we say
What we give we energy
So you spend your life a work
Acting like the money will be with you in the earth
Leaving all your family and friends to fight and search
That's when you see the snakes come out and act like they deserve
Like them put you 'pon reserve

'Cause money makes friends and money makes foes
But money, it is not all
'Cause when the dough ends and all the banks close
Tell me who can you call? Who can you call..
Tell me..
