I heard it said that money is the root of all evil/ Stopped - TopicsExpress



          

I heard it said that money is the root of all evil/ Stopped trusting my bank manager thinking hes an angel sent by the devil/ To force me to withdraw papers that could burn in an instant/ But last time I met him I bought some Jordan kicks that was descent/ Its a thin line between a poor King and a rich stupid ruler with bling/ But its a fact when its dark you get saved by shiny things/ So I strike a match to rediscover the groove my DJ last scratched/ But it seems the industry wants my torn pants to be covered with a Gucci patch/ So I asked my mother to saw my pants and cover the hole with my best track/ She said Kingpinn was the best needle, but she cant bring him right back/ So in my sadness, I packed up my knapsack/ Found myself in Canada, where there are rules to being black/ Where nevertheless they smile back to soothe the whip cracks/ Where you learn to swim in waters that threaten to rise above the neck/ Its like taking an African and throwing him in a sea of piranhas/ Where he watches his own folk turn green like some tried and tested marijuana/ So you ask yourself what would Gandhi do if Malcolm X was watching him/ Would he be peaceful, or aim back at snipers scoping him/ And I ask myself, if I had the heart of a Palestinian kid/ Would I play outside constantly or wait for death to feed its greed/ But Im just a Zimbabwean MC living Canadian at top speed/ Fast and furiously indeed, with Paul Walker begging me please/ Slow down before you go down as the one deported for truth/ I do the Schmoney dance and laugh before I step in the booth/
