Money Talks...but who speaks better truth?

Many things they called you,
Sweet, oh! Sweet Money.
They said you are a genius.
They said you know all things.
They said you answer all things.
They said you are not a friend of always.
They said you have a large family.
Brothers, sisters,cousins and concubines,
Even enemies,within.


They said you bring sunshine.
They said if I doubt you,
I should ask my Wife.

Sweet, oh! Sweet Money.
They said a day with you,
Is better than a thousand without.
They said I would always be happy,
If I have you, but is that really, true?

They said you are a man’s heartbeat.
They said you are a defence, a strong city.
No wonder my friend calls himself G-Money, (Get Money),
My other mate called himself (Young Money,)
Well, am still thinking what to call me self.

They said you are evil-genius.
They said I do not have to kill to have you.
They said you caused war.
The reasons nations go to war.

They said you hate lazy people.
They said you neither sleep nor slumber.
They said you grow on trees, if I know my way.
They said I must worship and pamper you.
They said you live and love a posh lifestyle.
They said you love manicure and pedicure.
They said you love botox and bum-tox.

They said if I worked hard, I would have you.
They said if I love you, I would be rich.
They said I have to desire you,
However, they did not tell me when to stop.

They said you are everywhere.
If I go below the earth, you are there.
They said you hate noise,
That is why you built your mansion beneath the earth.
They said you puff up.
They said you are arrogant.

Sweet Money,
The thought of you makes me giggle.
But I asked if you wash away sins,
For mine are many.
I asked my mates if you forgive sins,
For am weak, poor and sinful.

Regrettably, you do not.
What should I do?
