Dirty money
RUMBLE Syndicate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the lights in the cities glow
People working hard with nothing to show
That ain′t the way that this life's
Supposed to be
Everyone′s dyin' to quit
But no one dares
Working for peanuts not a penny to spare
For me, no
I walk the streets alone
I got no money I got no home
I gotta find a way to keep me warm
Tonight
I see her standing in the pouring rain
Dripping wet & she could ease my pain
But she don′t give it away she said
"You gotta pay"
Dirty Money
G-g-gimme plenty
That's what she said to me
′Cause money talks & your shit walks
Out on the streets, man
You get nothing free
You get nothing from me
No
Gimme money
Never can get enough
Lots of money
Money can't buy you trust
Gimme money
Honey, it′ll buy you lust
Dirty Money
G-g-gimme plenty
That's what you said to me, yeah
′Cause money talks & your shit walks
Out on the streets, man
You get nothing
Dirty Money
Money talks
That's what you said to me
M-m-m-me, yeah
Money talks & your shit walks
Out on the streets, man
You get nothing
You get nothing
You get nothing free
