MUSIC FOR MONEY written by Sheldon Manoo (1994)


What they do it for?----------Money!

What they play it for?--------Money!

What they sing it for?--------Money!

What they stand for?---------Money!

I don’t live that way! Money!

That’s not why I play! Money! No No NoNoNo!

 

Music for money, that’s not my style

Music for money, it’s just to make you smile

To make you laugh and to make you cry

To make you think, not to take a drink

To make you feel, to make you care

To make you love and teach bout God

Make you aware of what’s going on!

 

That’s what my music is all about

But it’s not for money, no no no way

I don’t care if you don’t pay

As long as I get to play

And get my say yeh yeh!

 

(Instrumental)

 

(Clapapella Verse)

 

Now when I play my music

You can feel the rhythm pumping

If gets you cured if you’re sick

And makes you feel like jumping

I could do it anyhow

Make you do anything

So listen to me now

You like the way I sing

Now I can perform anywhere

As long as I got the grove

My songs make people care

Gets your soul to move

It’s my gift from God

It was given free

So I’ll never be proud

Doing music for money! No No

 

(Guitar solo)

I won’t ever do it for  Money!

How could you do it for  Money!

And you say you love it!   (Lies, Lies Lies!)

Can’t live without it!

It’s the money, the money, it’s the money you love!

The money you can’t live without!

But as for me

It’s not my way to do!
