Lowkey - Too Much lyrics

rate me

[Intro: Lauryn Hill]

If you down with the rich man, and that can be rich in anything,

Don't you take too much,

If you laugh at a poor man, and that can be poor in anything,

Don't you laugh too much,

If you tryin' to be rich man, and that can be rich in anything

Don't you take too much,

And if you need to be needed, and you're lookin' for purpose,

Just remember, don't you need too much...

[Hook: Shadia Mansour]

If you take something you, don't need, and keep it

Then you've stolen from somebody else who's hungry

Everything that you do, is everything you are

Everything that I am, is everything you'll ever need.

[Verse 1: Lowkey]

Money can buy power, but it can't buy respect

Money can't buy sleep, but it can buy a bed

Money can't buy you love, but it can buy sex

Do you posses money or by money are you possessed?

Money can buy a house, but it can't buy a home

So even with money you still feel all alone

Money can buy you friends, but it can't buy family

Money can't make you happy, that's just a fallacy

It can buy a bath, but it can't buy purity

It can buy bodyguards, but it can't buy security

While people around the world starve, I eat

Cause money can buy war, but it can't buy peace

Some do everything and anything to get the p's

The society we livin' in, it's a necessity

It's got the power to turn your best friends to enemies

It's funny cause money doesn't follow us when we leave.

[Hook: Shadia Mansour]

If you take something you, don't need, and keep it

Then you've stolen from somebody else who's hungry

Everything that you do, is everything you are

Everything that I am, is everything you'll ever need.

[Verse 2: Lowkey]

Does happiness live in a mansion with a swimming pool?

I know people with plenty of money that are miserable

We all need to earn in this world we live

Most work for it, some steal, but many worship it

Some sell poison for it, some seek employment for it

We need it to survive, so some clean the toilets for it

I need papes to live but never will I live for papes

Abolish the Queen, I don't wanna see that witch's face

Many sell their soul for it, no not me

Some will try to tell you that it doesn't grow on trees

I heard the sayin' said, many a time, but they were wrong

Cause if it doesn't tell me where do you get the paper from?

Most think they will be happy if they only had more of it

Some wasted, some feel more important because they're born with it

Some have got the nerve to say you're fraudulent for forging it

The truth is you don't need a fortune to be fortunate.

[Hook: Shadia Mansour]

If you take something you, don't need, and keep it

Then you've stolen from somebody else who's hungry

Everything that you do, is everything you are

Everything that I am, is everything you'll ever need.
