Once again it's Nég'Marrons
Who comes to speak to you
No, tell me who said that money
Doesn't bring happiness
Tell me who said that we could live
On love and fresh water
But let me laugh
Many people claim that money
Doesn't bring happiness
That love and fresh water are enough
To brighten their hearts to these people
I tell them to wake up
Because it's time
Everyone knows that without money
You suffer the worst misfortunes

Because it's The Money
That rules the world
It's The Money that rules the earth
And whether we like it or not
That's the way it is, we can't do anything about it
We live in a society
Where money is king
And in this country if you don't have cash
It's as if you don't exist
That's why some people
Are ready to do anything
To get a few pieces of paper
That we call money
Some give their asses for
To have a few coins
Others beg for
Several hours in a row
So that at the end of the day
They can buy something to eat
Others prefer to go steal or
Go do some arm wrestling
It's either that or become a tramp

Because it's The Money
That rules the world
It's The Money that rules the earth
And whether we like it or not
That's the way it is, we can't do anything about it

Ben-J takes the mic, my friend
No, I'm not here to joke
Only DJ to be Irie
Talk about this scourge called The Money
This thing rots the minds
Then little by little
Here comes the depression relentlessly
But don't panic even if the situation is
Critical not mathematical
If you don't have money everything is explained
Money has taken over society
No one can stop it
No one can control it
No way to survive if you
Don't have money, your life is at stake
You are in a panic
Indeed it's panic if in your
Wallet you have no more money
You can't satisfy your desires
For you life is over
Shoot yourself in the head
And tear yourself away to paradise
Ooyy tear yourself away to paradise
Because it's The Money
That rules the world
It's The Money that rules the earth
And whether we like it or not
That's the way it is, we can't do anything about it

Money is everywhere, at all
Street corners, in all minds
But in the pockets there's nothing
Of monetary crises of our
Days politicians talk
Some are corrupt
Others deal with the devil
Money is scarce only in the
Ghetto people are starving
Youth is marginalized
To get it, everything is fine
Many do business to
Meet their needs
Don't blame them because
If you don't have cash you're screwed
Everyone knows that without
Money you're nothing

Because it's The Money
That rules the world
It's The Money that rules the earth
And whether we like it or not
That's the way it is, we can't do anything about it

A minimum of money in your hand
Wouldn't hurt
But only especially not by stealing
And neither by killing
From this moment only you
Are proud of your money
But when on your bills reflects
The color of blood
Either you're not smart
Either you have no feelings
But show some reflection
And change your behavior
Yes do like the Nég'Marrons who
Earn their living intelligently
We don't chat
For money but
Nowadays nothing is done for free
So if you want to listen to us
Pay cash and on the spot
Because in this country if you don't have cash
You're screwed
If you're not a crook you're screwed
If you're not a businessman you're screwed
If you're not a thug you're screwed
If you're not a Nég'Marrons, you're screwed
Because it's The Money
That rules the world
It's The Money that rules the earth
And whether we like it or not
That's the way it is, we can't do anything about it
