Some of us know (Some of us know)
Some of us know (Some of us know)
Some of us know (Some of us know)
Some of us don't know (Some of us don't know), oh
[Verse 1]
Rockets, moon shots (Yeah)
Spend it on the have-nots (Talkin' 'bout money, yeah)
Money, we make it, oh (Yeah)
Before we see it, you take it (Know you take it)
[Chorus]
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life, hey
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't living
This ain't living
But the Bible says
We gotta keep on givin' (We gotta keep on givin'), talkin', talkin'
[Verse 2]
Inflation, no chance (Yeah)
To increase finance (Talkin' 'bout money, yeah)
Bills pile up sky high (Yeah), oh
Send that boy off to die
[Chorus]
Oh, makes me wanna holler
The way they do my life, hey
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't living
This ain't living
But the Bible says
We gotta keep on givin' (Gotta keep on givin'), talkin', talkin'
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Hang ups, let downs (Yeah)
Bad breaks, setbacks (Yeah)
Natural fact is, oh (Yeah)
I can't pay my (Can't pay my) taxes
[Chorus]
Oh, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Hey, it makes me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
This ain't living
This ain't living
Don't you know the Bible says
Gotta be forgiving? (Gotta be forgivin') Talkin', talkin'
[Verse 4]
Crime is increasing (Increasing, yeah)
Trigger happy policing (Yeah)
Panic is spreading (Don't you know it's spreading? Yeah)
God knows where we're heading
[Chorus]
Oh, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Hey, it makes me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
This ain't living
This ain't living (This ain't livin')
But you know the Bible says
We gotta be forgiving, talkin', talkin'
