LYRICS

she said?
?I'm young enough
I'm old enough

to paint a smile

I tasted heaven and hell

heaven, stay a while



a good friend

is a rare find

Their straight talk

can ease your mind

a good pimp's

gonna rob you blind

money money money

I feel like a pawn

in my own world

I found the system

and I lost the pearl

It's breaking me down

well, you don't wake

you don't shake

you just make the sound

go round and round and round

and round

bleed a little

bleed a little

Till your freedom calls you



somewhere out

children laugh

like meteors

rolling down the grass

mothers pull the nighttime in

calling their children

with spoons in the wind

but not for me



she said?

?I'm young enough

I'm old enough

in the city machine

where industries

fill the fish

full of mercury

(it's tax-free)

she said

?my struggle hurt

but it turned me on

and when my revolution came

The chain was gone

On my feet

to the sound of my heartbeat

money money money

do you feel like a pawn

in your own world?

you found the system

and you lost the pearl

like leaves coming down

you've got to wake, shake,

make your vibe go round

and round and round and round
