| My mama called me and said «Son, it’s Nonne |
| I’m 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 didn’t 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 |
| Doesn’t define me, I can’t pretend |
| Taught me 'bout resentment, about forgivenss |
| No matter what path lies ahead |
| Taught m 'bout judgement, about what love is |
| That family’s family 'til the end |
| It was only money |
| A few days before that I got a message |
| From my aunt that said you weren’t 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 |
| I’m usually gone for work |
| But nothing’s worth missin' memories |
| It was only money |
| Cost me some family, cost me some friends |
| It was only money |
| Doesn’t define me, I can’t pretend |
| Taught me 'bout resentment, about forgiveness |
| No matter what path lies ahead |
| Taught me 'bout judgement, about what love is |
| That family’s family 'til the end |
| It was only money (Money, money) |
| It was only money, money, money, money |
| If you can hear me |
| I’ll always picture you at the piano singin' your songs |
| Just know there’s so many lessons you left me |
| I’ll always carry along |
| It was only money |
| Cost me some family, cost me some friends |
| It was only money |
| Doesn’t define me, I can’t pretend |
| Taught me 'bout resentment, about forgiveness |
| No matter what path lies ahead |
| Taught me 'bout judgement, about what love is |
| That family’s family 'til the end |
| It was only money (Money, money, money) |
| It was only money, money, money, money |
| It was only money, money, money, money |
| It was only money, money, money, money |
| It was only money |
