Johnny wanted to be a big starGet on stage an' play the guitarMake a little money, buy a fancy carA big ol' house an' a alligatorJust to match wit 'em alligator shoesHe's a rich man, so it's no longer singin' the bluesHe sing a song about material thangsAn' platinum rings an' watches that go blingBut diamonds don't bling in the darkHe's a star now but ain't singin' it from the heartSooner or later, it's just gonna fall apart'Cause his fans can't relate to his new found artHe ain't doin' what he did from the startAn' that's puttin' in some fillin' thoughtHe decided to live his life shallowCash in his love for material an' it's goneGone goingGone, everythin' gone, give a damnGone be the birds when they don't wanna singGone people awkward with their things, goneYou see yourself in the mirrorAn' you feel safe 'cause it's looks familiarBut cha afraid to open up your soul'Cause ya don't really know, don't really know who isThe person that's deep within'Cause you content with this bein' the name brand manAn' ya throw this seed that is trivialIt's significant that you would get too materialI seen your kind beforeYou the type that thinks souls is sold in the storePackage up with incense sticksWith a vegetarian meal, to you that's righteousYou're fiction like booksNeed to go out to life an' look'Cause what happens when I take your materialAn' you already sold your soul an' it'sGone goingGone, everythin' gone, give a damnGone be the birds when they don't wanna singGone people awkward with their things, goneThey say that 'Time is money an' money is time'So you gotcha mind in your moneyAn' your money on your mindBut what about that crime you did to get paidAn' what about I bet can't take it too your grave?Tell me about itWhat about those shoes you're in today?They do no goodOn the bridges you brought along the wayAll that money chu got gon' be goneThat ear that chu rock gon' be goneThat house upon that hill gon' be goneThe gold burns on your grill gon' be goneThe ice on your wrist gon' be goneThat nice little miss gon' be goneThat whip that chu roll gon' be goneWhat's worst is your soul already goneYeah, it's goneGone goingGone, everythin' gone, give a damnGone be the birds when they don't wanna singGone people awkward with their things, goneGone
