Jeffrey Stephen Lewis - Spirit of Mammon Lyrics

For the love of money
For the love of money
For the love of money
For the love of money

Thats what mammon is all about trying to convince you that you don't need God
They believe their own works can get them high enough to get to heaven
Thats why that whole deal with the tower of babel we are going to do it our own way we don't need God
So mammon is all about we don't need God
We don't need Him we don't need to trust Him
The spirit of mammon says we believe we don't need God if we have money
So mammon wants to convince you, you don't need God if you have money
So the pursuit of money is to try to replace your need for God
Mammon is deceitful

Back in the day in the Memphis Tn almost walking distance from the crib
9 people got shot even a 2 year old little kid
Over a dime bag of green a little girl never see her folks again
The spirit of mammon destroying a family for a forgotten story on CNN
When my girl came to see me I was serving the spirit of mammon
Controlling a woman for money and lust was the reason for hurt and the pain and the damage
Not trusting in God can ruin your life and ruin your marriage
Land you in prison unable to provide for your family or end up tragic
Don't be worried about what you gonna eat or the clothes on your back
If God can make your the birds stay fed then why you dwelling on lack
Ima hustle Ima hustle what they be saying in my society
Depending on your own hustle is fatigue and anxiety
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added mane
Trying to meet all your needs by yourself is enough to drive anybody insane
Trusting in God is living in peace for necessities that you need for sure
Peace that passes all understanding now you dwelling in sozo

For the love of money
For the love of money
For the love of money
For the love of money

When you fear the Lord that whole attitude of respecting God says im going to depart from evil
Somebody says What is it that is evil about money, trusting it
You know the Bible says that the love of money is what? the root of all evil
What is the love of money?
Trusting money more than you trust God
The phrase the love of money
Its not money thats evil its a wrong relationship with money thats evil
The love of money thats evil is the root of all evil
Well I respect God enough to depart from that type of relationship

Money aint the root of all of evil but the love of money is
Living above your means creating bondage for your future and kids
Money is the smallest area when you giving God your trust
If you can't be trusted with a little how you gonna be trusted for much
The love of money can open a door to strongholds in a world of evil
Lying plotting scheming manipulating and cold being deceitful
Only a fool will trust in the money you want the payout you want the lump some
Not knowing if its going to come got you clinching tight to every crumb
Cant trust in Jesus God and mammon and money all at the same time
Can't believe in God for some things but not all things at the same time
So choose this day who you gonna serve is it gonna be God or is it gonna be mammon
You hate one to another become a slave so which one is your master?
Costly decision to giving attention to chasing them riches and losing your time
To knock you off your assignment given by God that He already designed
Mammon will tell you its more sufficient to do what he is telling you to do
Are you possessing your money or is the spirit of mammon possessing you?

For the love of money

Mammon aint got me covered like God got me covered
So Im a stick with God
Im a stick with God not mammon
