Selassie, ay ayy man
Tell dey pagans not to try me
And when ya dollahs dropping like in a gambling machine
Money nuh make ya rich
And with your platinum card and luxury cars
Money nuh make ya rich
Cah if your health start fail and your face get failer
Money nuh make ya rich
Cah when your trumpets tone and ya judgement come
Money nuh gon’ make ya rich
Me nuh cherish no vanity
Vanity a fixation of soul, so
Big crib and no family
Oh you fi live like a damn gigalo
Darling faces, dem all by your side
All pretty ladies inside
Gold diggers lookin’ for six figures
Is this a part of your nine figure life?
And when ya dollahs dropping like in a gambling machine
Money nuh make ya rich
And with your platinum card and luxury cars
Money nuh make ya rich
Cah if your health start fail and your face get failer
Money nuh make ya rich
Cah when your trumpets tone and the judgement come
Money nuh gon’ make ya rich
I miss the love of our people
Me nuh put me faith in a dollahs and wealth so
Me nuh tall like skyscraper
I keep my foot ‘pon the dirt when mi know
Some of dem get rich and switch on a flass
Arrogance here like a loner
Dem bully you but dem cyaan bully me
Cah Jah with bruvva, I finna warn her
And when ya dollahs dropping like in a gambling machine
Money nuh make ya rich
And with your platinum card and luxury cars
Money nuh make ya rich
Cah if your health start fail and your face get failer
Money nuh make ya rich
Cah when your trumpets tone and ya judgement come
Money nuh gon’ make ya rich
You make dem gwaan, taak, dem coulda never stop, no yute, ya
Whether you’re rich or you’re poor, Jah-Jah pickney ever salute ya
No we no pussy, we no hype
We no frightened cah you make it in a life
We no ‘fraid of ya money or your friend or your knife
Don’t get too bright
And when ya dollahs dropping like in a gambling machine
Money nuh make ya rich
And with your platinum card and luxury cars
Money nuh make ya rich
Cah if your health start fail and your face get failer
Money nuh make ya rich
Cah when your trumpets tone and ya judgement come
Money nuh gon’ make ya rich
And when ya dollahs dropping like in a gambling machine
Money nuh make ya rich
And with your platinum card and luxury cards
Money nuh make ya rich
Cah if your health start fail and your face get failer
Money nuh make ya rich
Cah when your trumpets tone and the judgement come
Money nuh gon’ make ya rich
