Wicked Prosper Lyrics

Why do the wicked prosper?

Maybe nobody ever showed them the gospel

Maybe the only way for them to live is hostile

Maybe they know it's mission impossible

To live as a king

Be not worried with what it might bring

You have to lose yourself to gain the finer things

You have to build your wealth

To buy that diamond ring

Let me talk to them

Is it so hard to understand?

We're not working for ourselves

We're working cause we're men

I work on the design

Cause I know God has a plan

I want abundance in my life

I need abundance for my land

And it's all for us to grow

I just plant the seed

Cause I'm reaping what I sow

I'm falling like the leaves

But I'm springing like the flow

I'll leave you high and dry

If you leave me when I'm low

Why do the wicked prosper?

Maybe it's all this life has to offer

Maybe nobody called out the imposter

Maybe one day they'll find they're the monster

Or maybe it's me

I've always been poor but I'm rich in my dreams

I'm glad that I've suffered cause I found peace

The secret to wealth is having very little needs

Let me talk to them

You want what you can't have

But then you look around

And can see it's not all bad

It could always be worse

So put other people first

Cause there's enough to go around

Make the good times last

Yeah money will change you

But if you ain't got the change

Then your life is in danger

To most speaking from the heart

Is like speaking to a stranger

I'm trying to stop the cap

I don't need another banger

That's why I make music for me

I never made a cent

That's why I'm living free

So I don't make songs

So I can get laid

Nobody wants to work

Everyone wants to get paid
