Never money today

Promises are a comfort to da fool

And I don’t wanna be no fool

U fool me once

Shame on U

Fool me twice

Shame on me

And don’t wanna be da one to feel ashamed

U wanna use me like a tool

U should get da blame

Use my words, use my voice

Use my brain, use my strength

What do I gain from it

Only pain and sadness

It seems like this is a monkey business

And i won’ get paid more than these peanuts, nuts

Blast it

 

Money yesterday

Money tomorrow

But never money today

U get me waiting, get me waiting

For my pay

 

Money yesterday

Money tomorrow

But never money today

U get me waiting, get me waiting

 

Can’t U see

I ain’t buying no more of ya lies

I just can’t wait for da pie up in da skies

So stop going around giving me your pretty smiles

That are just smoke to de eyes

I’ve been, I’ve been to school and

I know da rules

Every work deserves a salary

Like every good dog deserves a bone and

I wanna get paid for what I have done

What I have done

But you keep giving me scrumbles from da pie

And seh, beggars have no choice

Look here man,

I ain’t begging

I come for my due

And soon U gonna have to call for rescue

Cuz what I come to get,

I’ m gonna get it

And soon U gonna have to call for rescue

 

Money yesterday

Money tomorrow

But never money today

U get me waiting, get me waiting

For my pay  (2 x)

 

Look here man

Life is hard and I can’t afford to work for free

Cuz I get my mum, my wife

My kids, ma brothers and ma sisters

And even my little dog crying for money

So no more

 

Money yesterday

Money tomorrow

But never money today

U get me waiting, get me waiting

For my pay  (2 x)
