BIG MONEY

Jon Batiste

You can buy a house, but you can't buy a home

You can be surrounded and still be alone

Oh, Lord

You can be living the life but not living the dream

It seems

Mama said, "Boy, don't you be no dummy

Everybody chasin' that big, big money" (Big money)

 

You might have got a horse, don't mean you can ride

You might have got a plane, but that don't make you fly

Oh, Lord

You can be living the life but not living the dream

It seems

And Mama said, "Boy, don't be a dummy

Everybody chasin' that big, big money" (Big money)

 

Nah, might as well live for something you can feel

Might as well live for something real

Nah, might as well live for something you can feel

Might as well live for something real

You can't take it with you 'cause there wasn't nothing with you before

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, same old, same old, same old thing

Big money

 

You can buy a song, don't mean you can sing

And you can win it all and still lose everything

Mama said, "Boy, don't you be no dummy

Everybody chasin' that big, big money" (Big money)

Don't be a knuckle head or bobble head dummy

Everybody chasin' that big, big money

 

Nah, might as well live for something you can feel

Might as well live for something real

Nah, might as well live for something you can feel

Might as well live for something real
