Lyrics and translation
Original
Yeah, you got money. I don't care if you got money. I got money too.
You can buy a house, but you can't buy a home.
You can be surrounded and still be alone. Oh, Lord.
You can be living the life but not living the dream. It seems.
Mama said, "Boy, don't you be no dummy. Everybody chasing that big, big money. "
Big money.
You might have got a horse, don't mean you can ride on a horse.
You might have got a plane, but that don't make you fly. Oh, Lord.
You can be living the life but not living the dream. It seems.
Grandmama said, "Boy, don't be a dummy. Everybody chasing that big, big money. "
Big money.
-Oh.
-Now, might as well live for something you can feel.
Might as well live for something real.
Now, might as well live for something you can feel.
Might as well live for something real. You can take it with you 'cause there wasn't nothing with you before.
Woo.
-No, no. It's too big, so. . . -Dust to dust, ashes to ashes.
Same old, -same old, same old thing. -Big money.
You can buy a song, don't mean you can sing.
And you can win it all and still lose everything. Ha. Whoa. Mama said, "Boy, don't you be no dummy.
-Everybody chasing that big, big money. " -Big money.
Don't be a knucklehead, boy, a bobblehead dummy.
Everybody chasing that big, big -money. Woo.
-Now, might as well live for something you can feel. Might as well live for something real.
-Real.
-Now, might as well live for something you can feel.
Might as well live for something real.
