Artist/Band: Horace Andy
Lyrics for Song: Money, Money (Aka The Root Of All Evil)
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Horace Andy



Money, money, money, money

Is the root of all evil

Money, money, money, people

Is the root of all evil



You work for a man and you get no pay

Brother don't do nothing wrong

Don't beg the one inflating you

When Jah will come, it's you all alone



Money, money, money, people

Is the root of all evil

Money, money, money, tell you

Is the root of all evil



Some steal it, some kill for it

Some do iniquity for it

It makes friends, it break friends

Judas betrayed Christ for it



Money, money, money, tell you

Is the root of all evil

Money, money, money, people

Is the root of all evil



Hey yeah, money, money, yeah



Some steal it, some kill for it

Some do iniquity for it

It makes friends, it break friends

Judas betrayed Christ for it



Money, money, money, people

Is the root of all evil

Money, money, money, tell you

Is the root of all evil



We can't live without it

We got to buy food to eat

It's good and it's bad

And yet we can't live without it



Money, money, money, tell you

Is the root of all evil

Money, money, money, people

Is the root of all evil


Money, Money (Aka The Root Of All Evil)

Horace Andy's 1983 single 'Money, Money (Aka The Root Of All Evil)' stands as a definitive track in the evolution of reggae dancehall, blending upbeat rhythms with a sharp social commentary on materialism. Recorded during the height of the '80s dancehall explosion, the song features Andy's signature vocal delivery, characterized by its rhythmic phrasing and conversational tone that cuts through the instrumental backdrop. The title itself serves as a provocative hook, linking financial greed to spiritual corruption, a theme central to the genre's tradition of addressing societal issues through music. While often associated with the broader '80s sound, this recording helped solidify Andy's reputation as a key figure in the Jamaican dancehall scene, influencing subsequent artists who adopted his style of mixing catchy melodies with biting wit. The track remains a staple in dancehall compilations, celebrated for its enduring energy and its ability to capture the zeitgeist of a specific era in Caribbean music history.
