Too Much by Lowkey
Too Much Lyrics
Year of Release: 2011
Intro: Lauryn Hill
- If you down with the rich man, and that can be rich in anything,
- Don’t you take too much,
- If you laugh at a poor man, and that can be poor in anything,
- Don’t you laugh too much,
- If you tryin to be rich man, and that can be rich in anything
- Don’t you take too much,
- And if you need to be needed, and you’re lookin’ for purpose,
- Just remember, don’t you need too much…
Hook: Shadia Mansour
- If you take something you, don’t need, and keep it
- Then you stole it from somebody else who’s hungry
- Everything that you do, is everything you are
- Everything that I am, is everything you ever need.
Lowkey
- Money can buy power, but it can’t buy respect
- Money can’t buy sleep, but it can buy a bed
- Money can’t buy you love, but it can buy sex
- Do you posses money or by money are you possessed?
- Money can buy a house, but it can’t buy a home
- So even with money you still feel all alone
- Money can buy you friends, but it can’t buy family
- Money can’t make you happy, that’s just a fallacy
- It can buy a bath, but it can’t buy purity
- It can buy bodyguards, but it can’t buy security
- While people around the world starve, I eat
- Cause money can buy war, but it can’t buy peace
- Some do everything and anything to get the p’s
- The society we livin’ in, it’s a necessity
- It’s got the power to turn your best friends to enemies
- It’s funny cause money doesn’t follow us when we leave.
Hook: Shadia Mansour
- If you take something you, don’t need, and keep it
- Then you stole it from somebody else who’s hungry
- Everything that you do, is everything you are
- Everything that I am, is everything you ever need.
Verse 2
- Does happiness live in a mansion with a swimming pool?
- I know people with plenty of money that are miserable
- We all need to earn in this world we live
- Most work for it, some steal, but many worship it
- Some sell poison for it, some seek employment for it
- We need it to survive, so some clean the toilets for it
- I need papes to live but never will I live for papes
- Abolish the Queen, I don’t wanna see that witches face
- Many sell their soul for it, no not me
- Some will try to tell you that it doesn’t grow on trees
- I heard the sayin said, many a time, but they were wrong
- Cause if it doesn’t tell me where do you get the paper from?
- Most think they will be happy if they only had more of it
- Some wasted, some feel more important because they’re born with it
- Some have got the nerve to say you’re fraudulent for forging it
- The truth is you don’t need a fortune to be fortunate.
Hook: Shadia Mansour
- If you take something you, don’t need, and keep it
- Then you stole it from somebody else who’s hungry
- Everything that you do, is everything you are
- Everything that I am, is everything you’ll ever need.
