Not About the Money

Money is a measure of your wealth
How much you value yourself
How much of the world you own
The legacy you’ll leave when you’re gone
It’s about living your life and staking a dollar
So you won’t be broke and hot under the collar
Being able to afford the life you live
And to afford to give
All Kings have and maintain a treasure
You need money to enjoy life’s simplest pleasure
Money is essential to you being the boss
Without it you can’t afford to pay the cost
Have you ever met a broke baller
Or someone with no money a shot caller
Without getting paid how can you get rich?
Or start a business without a hitch

It’s not about the money
It’s about you living in the land of milk and honey
As master of the game
With your name in the money hall of fame
Legal
Standing tall and regal
Experiencing bigger and better things
And the joy of what a millionaire’s lifestyle brings
If only you knew
It’s not about the money it’s all about you

Money is a reflection of your power
Like owning a Donald Trump tower
Having power over your destiny is the task
If you are going to last
Savings adds to self dominance
Builds self confidence and prominence
If you chose to pay instead of getting paid
You’ll be looking for a job instead of having it made
Over yourself and your money you must have control
If you are going from dollars to gold
Chose a direction at the folk in the road
Either the school of hard knots or the mother load
It’s gonna take power, dominance, and control to be free
Over yourself and your wealth and over the powers that be
To harness the wisdom of what freedom brings
Own castles and gold and diamond rings

It’s not about the money
It’s about you living in the land of milk and honey
As master of the game
With your name in the money hall of fame
Legal
Standing tall and regal
Experiencing bigger and better things
And the joy of what a millionaire’s lifestyle brings
If only you knew
It’s not about the money it’s all about you

Buy yourself a bank
And fill it up with francs
Develop your land
As far as the eye can span
Then buy a big house and shower your girl
With diamonds and pearls
But it’s not about the money it’s all about you
It’s not about the money it’s all about you
All about you
All about you
All about you

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
