Death by Cash
Haven't you heard? I'm distressed.
Like I've been stirred or pressed
Thinking that this urban mess
Has been caused by the word "success"
Ringing in the world's ears,
Turning the world's gears,
Spinning on it's axis,
Sinning, wanting cash.

It's a shame.
Yet who's to blame?
Don't you think that's a mighty strange
question?
The world's looking for suggestions.
Their minds've been congested,
Their time spent molesting

Their own crew.
Don't join them, they'll disown you.
Take your money and stone you.
And eventually overthrow you
For Benny on a dollar making men scream and holler.
Getting trampled, let me give you an example.

A capital S with a line running through it,
The world runs to it, but, ohhh, don't you do it,
It's a trap.
You try to grab the cash, you hear a snap,
The typical sound of bubble wrap.

It cuts you off from your home life.
Working so much overtime, you forget your own wife.
And you don't hear the lone cry of your own child
As he says, "Where's Dad?"
Don't you think it's sad?

Chorus
Money - What makes the world tick?
Money - It really makes me sick.
Money - I'd rather swallow a stick,
Than follow the world and strike it rich.
Money - What makes a man smile?
Money - It only lasts for a while
Money - Though it's human desire
It's death by cash then you burn the fire.

Verse 2
At Christmas time, clear the path.
Man makes a mad dash trying to save a little cash,
Killing brothers and taking stash.
And I think it's really sad, men die for this silly fad.
Here in my Philly pad, I'm really glad I'm a chilly lad.

I'm cool, not hot, tempered.
Went to school in GOD's temple, grew out from GOD's stencils
And got sharp like a pencil..
And with my pointy head, I drew a line, a slash
Through the S, yes, I cut the sign in half.

I don't mind men laughing.
I'm worthless to earthlings.
Of no great importance at all, ya heard me?
Life offers high stakes, so live life for Christ's sake
Men making high pay ignore the poor
And crime rates are soaring,

So check the Word exploring,
All that is found there is really a sure thing.
You can't have two leaders, no you just can't.
cause one gets defeated, while the other is champ.

My ears get cramped every time I hear this
Cause all I can picture is a man saying, "Fear this."
We've got to realize
The world's way is materialize
But moth and dust and rust corrupt
So we got to praise the real God.

Chorus
Money - What makes the world tick?
Money - It really makes me sick.
Money - I'd rather swallow a stick,
Than follow the world and strike it rich.
Money - What makes a man smile?
Money - It only lasts for a while
Money - Though it's human desire
It's death by cash then you burn the fire.

Verse 3
Coming soon is the Beast
Who rises up outta the sea
Builds a big statue, you bow down at his feet. People scream
"We got a problem with the money!"
He takes a step back and says, "That's easy,

"A mark on your hand or a mark on you head.
"If you don't accept the plan, then you're gonna be dead."
And man is led
To a new world democracy.
You're probably wondering why does this bother me.

In revelation, the angels of GOD
Wipe out people with this mark on their bod:
A six at the beginning, six in the middle, six at the end.
It won't be accepted by the true Christians.

Check history then
From barter to cash to credit
All prophecy is being fulfilled without edit.
And check Who said it
The Maker of the universe
Not only do the humans curse
But greed is blooming; worse:

Christ is being replaced by dead presidents' face.
It will take amazing grace for this world to be saved.
I'll tell you seven things that you will never never need:
Pride anger envy gluttony lust sloth and greed.

Chorus

Money - What makes the world tick?

It's death by cash then you burn the fire.

Ending Tought...
Eternal riches and an infinite body,
Too much to waste just to be forever sorry.
The price has been paid, just give up what you've made.
Just a few more years til you're laid into your grave.
You can't take it with you so might as well decide
To live your life in humbleness it's well worth the price.
In case you didn't get it, it's our main agenda
To give up this life, so we don't burn in Gehenna.
