A Day to Remember - Only Money
My mama called me and said, "Son, it's NonneI'm sorry to tell you, your grandmama passed"
Took me back to the moment watchin' The Sound of Music
In your living room before you read me to bed
Ooh, I know now but I didn't then
These were moments building a man
None of us had much and you showed me what that means
It was only money
Cost me some family, cost me some friends
It was only money
Doesn't define me, I can't pretend
Taught me 'bout resentment, about forgiveness
No matter what path lies ahead
Taught me 'bout judgement, about what love is
That family's family 'til the end
It was only money
A few days before that, I got a message
From my aunt that said you weren't doin' too well
We scrambled to call you to show off the baby
My wife and I had just brought into the world
Ooh, I got chills as we said goodbye
Somehow I knew it was the last time
I'm usually gone for work, but nothing's worth missin' memories
It was only money
Cost me some family, cost me some friends
It was only money
Doesn't define me, I can't pretend
Taught me 'bout resentment, about forgiveness
No matter what path lies ahead
Taught me 'bout judgement, about what love is
That family's family 'til the end
It was only money, money, money, money
It was only money, money, money, money
If you can hear me, I'll always picture
You at the piano, singin' your songs
Just know there's so many lessons you left me
I'll always carry along
It was only money
Cost me some family, cost me some friends
It was only money
Doesn't define me, I can't pretend
Taught me 'bout resentment, about forgiveness
No matter what path lies ahead
Taught me 'bout judgement, about what love is
That family's family 'til the end
It was only money, money, money, money
It was only money, money, money, money
It was only money, money, money, money
It was only money, money, money, money
It was only money
