I don't have any real reason i titled this the way i did but my friends and i have all been singing it lately and i thought they would get a kick out of it. Plus it's kind of ironic because none of us have it. Or is it ironic? I guess you could take it more of as if i'm screaming for money when i sing it than celebrating over it. But i don't truly know because that is the only line i know from that song...how's the rest go? Besides that the best part about that song is no matter where or when you sing it, someone will always join in or finish the line, i even started it at a funeral once and someone actually finshed it! No i lied but it's almost that extreme. I think my point is that what's the big deal? (with money, if you haven't caught my drift yet)i mean we almost waste our whole lives for it. We work hard in school so we can get into college so we can get a job i don't know maybe it's suppose to build character(i can never spell that word,mannn) but if we wait our whole lives to do things we reeeeeaally want to do because we need money then by the time we finally get in the financial situation we want to be in we're too old to that thing anyway. Why doesn't money grow on trees? and why can't we just live our lives by taking each day as it is? I guess i kind of did have a reason for my titleage(yep i made that word up just now)(tight-ill-edge) without even meaning to.
Money should be free.
..but i guess the big picture is we probably wouldn't be motivated without it.
All i know is that when i win the lottery and i'm sitting in my mansion with all my friends i'm going to sing it non stop and if anyone says anything different..well i don't know yet but i'll be rich enough to have someone else have to think about that for me.

I like the way you think, Lyndsay. Money. It makes the world go 'round. In fact, I think it actually makes the world round too! Anyways, I never want to not be able to do something just cause I don't have commensurate cash-flow. Anyways, I may be broke but I'll be a happy broke.
I never let money get in the way of having fun, whether I have it or not I still spend it, thats why I am in debt up to my eyeballs(will someone help me please?) But really, it is a shame that we work so hard for the things we find joy and satisfaction in.
Lyndsay it is amazing that you mentioned that song as a joke and then went on to talk about money. There is a lot more to that song than just the catch everyone knows.
THE REST OF THE SONG:
Money, money, money, money, money
Some people got to have it
Some people really need it
Listen to me y'all, do things
Do things, do bad things with it
You wanna do things, do things
Do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money
Dollar bills, yall
For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother
For the love of money
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know
Who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money
For the love of money
People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of money
People don't care who they hurt or beat
For the love of money
A woman will sell her precious body
For a small piece of paper
It carries a lot of weight
Call it lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar
I know money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime
Money can drive some people out of their minds
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Some people really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down
For the love of money
All for the love of money
Don't let, don't let, don't let money rule you
For the love of money
Money can change people sometimes
Don't let, don't let, don't let money fool you
Money can fool people sometimes
People, don't let money, don't let money change you
It will keep on changing, changing up your mind
Lyndsay my sweet thang, you've been tagged.
