Happy poor
Isn't so happy any more
I had money before
I had all my financial needs
Some of my wants
Enough to show off
Enough to flaunt
Enough to feel fancy
Enough to feel good
But the money is gone
And I'm still here
And the money took my style
Yo dat money took my flair
The money took my nails
Dang, the money stole my hair
Did I mention I'm still here
Looking like a bum
The money took my vacations
And all my fun
The money stole the cars
The money took the house
That damn money stole my mahogony bed head
Shoot!the money stole my designer couch
The money took my Jordans
The money took my expensive clothes
The money they worked so hard for
Was gone in a minute
I'm just glad the money didn't take my soul.
