Baliva - Million Dollar Vanity [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

VERSE 1

You may not find me on the top of
Forbes list or Rolling Stone

I'm all up in the business of
Just serving Christ and loving life

Used to be so hungry to have
All that money and that power

Till The Lord turned on the
Lights and showed me he is the power

Money never makes the man
It always crushes him

Suicide in the city
Coz the stocks are slim

You don't need to lose your confidence
Coz your life is grime

Don't be changed and
Just live like a manakin

They talking about a million
But I talking bout infinite

That's The value of your worth
When I am talking about the risen

Bought by the blood on Christ
So let me tell you about your net worth

It's found in Christ and there's
No other one who even comes first

So keep checking that Forbes list
You won't find worth, so worthless

Bank accounts gonna rise and fall
Keep the pace like apostle Paul

He knew how to live with plenty
And he Lived so good in poverty

He knew how to trust in Christ
And avoid all of this money vanity

CHORUS
I may not sell a millie

VERSE 2 - Jahaziel
They say that money makes the world go round
I believed it till I met Jesus and my world turned around
See I was on a quest for money power respect
But looking back how I crept left me with a thousand regrets
I went down to some depths deeper than I preferred to go
Trying to stack the notes so high it would give me vertigo
Basically I was serving dough like a bakery
Thinking money could make me a man was only make believe
The love of money is the root of all evil
That means if you really want it then just do what you need to
Even if you gotta shoot other people or move something illegal
Lies kill but the truth, yeah it can free you
We too could of been the kids getting shanked up
Could of been the ones in them handcuffs
Sticking banks up, screaming hands up
But we thank god that he grabbed us
No longer spiritually bankrupt
We're rich in his Devine plan
Even if I'm low on finance, I know that I'm in fine hands

VERSE 3
Money never satisfies, always more that you can buy
Deep inside we're trying to find freedom in this crazy life
Lusting after all she gives, hoping she can feed your kids
Living for that dollar sign, she will bring you down son

The love of money always ends up in tragedy
A million bucks just chasing vanity

You live for her & she will kill you gradually
So let her go or it ends in agony

Pride comes before the fall
When you think you've got it all

Master of your destiny
Shutting down your company

Leave you all in poverty
Just one moment death you see

Naked you will leave this earth
Just the way you had your Birth

Now your kids spend all dough
Wasting away on cars and draw

All your work, all your pain
No one seems to, know your name

Thought you'd leave a legacy
Seemed to forget the prophecy

Can't serve a cross, chase change
Gotta trust in Christ and make a change
