Jah Shaka & Pepper - Money

This lyric contains biblical references. Click here to show the references.

Give I an helping hand, oh Jah
I'm not a working man
I'm strugglin', to survive

Money is the root of all evil
Money is the root of all evil

So give I a helping hand
'Cause I'm not a working man
No, I'm not a working man

Some people will make your live misery
They tryin' to take away your money
They need some money to survive
They need some money to stay alive

So money is the root of all evil
Money is the root of all evil

I'm not a working man
So give I a helping hand, oh Jah
Give I a helping hand

Your light can't be, without no money
Your bread can't be, without no money
You can't buy food, to eat, to feed
You're children, oh, you're children, think about them!
Money is the root of all evil

Don't take away, what isn't yours
Just keep yourself to yourself
And you will make some money someday
Jah will provide, oh yes
Jah will provide!
Jah will provide
Psalm 23:1; Matthew 6:32; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Philippians 4:19

Just be patient, be patient

'Cause money is the root of all evil
Money is the root of all evil
Money is the root of all evil

So give I a helping hand
'Cause I'm not a working man
No, I'm not a working man
Oh.. I'm not a working man

It's making the world go, round and round
It's making the world go, round and round

It's going from hand to hand, oh
It's going from town to town

Money is the root of all evil
Money is the root of all evil

You got to spend it wisely
Don't spend it all on yourself
You got to save some money for your sistren
And you got to save your money for your breddrin

Money is the root of all evil
Money is the root of all evil

And it's making the world go, round and round and round
It's making the world go, round and round and round

So give I a helping hand
'Cause I'm not a working man..
Oh, give I a helping hand

I don't want to take what is not mine
I don't want to take what is not mine
