only money

My momma called me
And said 'son its Tonne
Im 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
I know now but I didnt 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
Doesnt define me
I cant pretend
Taught me bout resentment
About forgiveness
No matter what path lies ahead
Taught me bout judgement
About what love is
That familys family till the end
It was only money
A few days before that
I got a message from my aunt that said you werent doin too well
We scrambled to call you to show off the baby
My wife and I had just brought into the world
I got chills as we said goodbye
Somehow I knew it was the last time
Im usually gone for work
But nothings worth missin memories
It was only money
Cost me some family
Cost me some friends
It was only money
Doesnt define me
I cant pretend
Taught me bout resentment
About forgiveness
No matter what path lies ahead
Taught me bout judgement
About what love is
That familys family till the end
It was only money
It was only money
If you can hear me
Ill always picture you at the piano
Singin your songs
Just know theres so many lessons you left me Ill always carry along
It was only money
Cost me some family
Cost me some friends
It was only money
Doesnt define me
I cant pretend
Taught me bout resentment
About forgiveness
No matter what path lies ahead
Taught me bout judgement
About what love is
That familys family till the end
It was only money
It was only money
It was only money
It was only money
It was only money
