Throw It Away

(album: Falling & Flying - 2011)

Hey yo, money makes the world go 'round, we know that.
Is it gonna change your life if you own that?
Is it gonna have you high in the sky where you're so glad
Will it just define what you're known as?
While I'm wishing that I had a mint,
I'd share it round if I had some riches
See with money though yo it can't bring us happiness,
But it will bring the things we'd be happy with. Indeed.
While the homeless are begging for some change,
There are some who are beggin for a change,
You disagree, start begging for a change,
We need change but everything's the same.
I can't be another one running in a rat race,
Living in a life where it's all about the cash mate,
So forgive me, I'm a go and practice me,
Cause I feel like that's for me so...

[Chorus:]
I know that it goes on but we don't wanna know that,
I know that I've been wrong but I don't wanna go back,
So I throw it, throw it all away,
I'll throw it, throw it all away!

Yo meet generation yes, we party so much,
Got our folks worried that our hearts will blow up.
It's funny that we can't say no but,
I hope we don't hit it too hard and go nuts.
Yo we will know in time, man this shit that kills us
Is why we all feel so alive.
And get paid on Friday from working all week man,
Forget it all by blowing it on the weekend.
And some will say 60 is a fool,
The kids are beginning because he didn't finish school.
Yo if it wasn't for me mate,
Working in the office on weekdays is not what I'll be mate.
It ain't cause I'm broke that I'm wanting to seek change,
I'm a treat this like my job and I'll see pay,
So forgive me, maybe it's my lack of sleep,
But I feel like I have to dream so...

[Chorus:]
I know that it goes on but we don't wanna know that,
I know that I've been wrong but I don't wanna go back,
So I throw it, throw it all away,
I'll throw it, throw it all away!

Hey yo I can't be one of them dudes no more,
I ain't gonna be wearing them shoes no more,
Won't waste time all for the loot no more,
With no idea what I can use it for,
Yeah, yo I don't wanna work till I'm fifty,
And then spent what I've earnt till I'm sixty,
So forgive me, I know it's got a hold on me,
But no way is it controlling me no,

[Chorus: x2]
I know that it goes on but we don't wanna know that,
I know that I've been wrong but I don't wanna go back,
So I throw it, throw it all away,
I'll throw it, throw it all away!
