letra de for the love of money - eshon burgundy

[intro: eshon burgundy]
know what a wise man once said
you know what a wise man once said
he said all of this was just vanity
everything
the things we chase
the things we spend our days chasing after
he said it’s all vanity
help me, father god, just to focus on you, lord

[verse 1: eshon burgundy]
no payment options
in this life of promise
holy scriptures told the future
before nostradamus
and faith is the currency that keeps us outta bondage
binge-watching sound doctrine is how we make deposits
witness when they recreate his image drawing up composites
change the color of his skin, the establishment is for-profit
i used to want a chain, not for nothing
but to let the head of jesus hang from it
and be stylish
but doesn’t it seem like somebody just said
off with his head
like a symbol of defeat that we wear
isn’t it clear
decapitation is to prove your opponent is dead
so what’s our fascination with these golden souvenirs
none of us can identify the face of the messiah
so we took the head of cesare borgia and severed his
and wear it like a pendant independent of fear
complete lack of conviction
let the truth enter our ears
he said to never make an image but we made an image
turned the living god into a false idol
and praised him with it
ain’t no jesus piece around my neck
that piece will never reflect
yehoshua ha mashiach, god’s living word in the flesh
we are the image of god
don’t let the devil finesse you
and paint a portrait of lies for you to take a picture next to
he can never bless you, our treasure in earthen vessels
the treasure outside of us cannot compare on any level
when the dust settle and the smoke clear from the kettle
you will finally understand that hope you hear from the ghetto
how can a people so poor
still smile and endure
all this foul mistreatment
the violent take it by force
the last shall be first from prophecy to the present
there’s a monopoly on earth to acquire god’s possession
you know why it’s hard for a rich man to go to heaven?
because in his mind he’s already there
that’s the deception
for the love of money

[outro: constance dees]
what price will you pay
what will you gain
or give in exchange
for your soul
all the wealth you attain
will mean nothing
on that great day
judgment’s coming
when you stand before god
face to face
tell me what words will you say
when you squandered your life away
and you forsook
his mercy and grace [?]
love and praise
and all for the love of my name
love is not a game
don’t play with it
time is almost up
don’t waste it
for love of money
for love of money
fame and the acclaim, don’t chase it
soul for the gold, don’t trade it
for love of money
for love of money
there’s only one treasure that will last forever
there’s no love better
there’s only one name that’s worthy of praise
and only he can save
