[00:11.860] I was walking down the street,
[00:13.560] When out the corner of my eye
[00:15.150] I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
[00:17.980] She said ＂I＇ve never seen a man
[00:19.740] Who looks so all alone,
[00:21.260] Could you use a little company?
[00:23.910]
[00:24.150] If you can pay the right price
[00:26.700] Your evening will be nice,
[00:27.400] And you can go and send me on my way.＂
[00:30.270] I said ＂You＇re such a sweet young thing
[00:32.299] Why you do this to yourself?＂
[00:33.650] She looked at me and this is what she said:
[00:36.570]
[00:36.830] ＂Oh, there ain＇t no rest for the wicked,
[00:39.710] Money don＇t grow on trees.
[00:42.710] I got bills to pay,
[00:44.230] I got mouths to feed,
[00:46.270] There ain＇t nothing in this world for free.
[00:49.340] I know I can＇t slow down,
[00:51.750] I can＇t hold back,
[00:54.100] Though you know, I wish I could.
[00:56.140] No there ain＇t no rest for the wicked,
[00:59.180] Until we close our eyes for good＂.
[01:02.460] Not even fifteen minutes later
[01:02.500]
[01:03.970] I＇m still walking down the street,
[01:05.460] When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
[01:08.470] And then he sweeps up from behind
[01:10.000] And puts a gun up to my head,
[01:11.660] He made it clear he wasn＇t looking for a fight.
[01:14.440]
[01:15.540] He said ＂Give me all you＇ve got
[01:17.300] I want your money not your life,
[01:18.700] But if you try to make a move I won＇t think twice.＂
[01:21.620] I go like ＂You can have my cash
[01:23.210] But first you know I got to ask
[01:24.870] What made you want to live this kind of life?＂
[01:27.550]
[01:27.740] He said ＂There ain＇t no rest for the wicked,
[01:31.070] Money don＇t grow on trees.
[01:35.000] I got bills to pay,
[01:35.609] I got mouths to feed,
[01:37.000] There ain＇t nothing in this world for free.
[01:41.000] I know I can＇t slow down,
[01:41.800] I can＇t hold back,
[01:43.350] Though you know, I wish I could.
[01:46.270] No there ain＇t no rest for the wicked,
[01:49.329] Until we close our eyes for good＂.
[01:52.600]
[02:05.500] Now a couple hours have passed
[02:06.560] And I was sitting at my house,
[02:07.870] The day was winding down and coming to an end.
[02:10.859] So I turned on the TV
[02:12.388] And flipped it over to the news,
[02:13.960] And what I saw I almost couldn＇t comprehend.
[02:16.890]
[02:17.060] I saw a preacher man in cuffs he＇d taken money from the church,
[02:20.090] He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills.
[02:23.200] But even still I can＇t say much
[02:24.840] Because I know we＇re all the same,
[02:26.410] oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
[02:29.230]
[02:29.420] ＂Oh, there ain＇t no rest for the wicked,
[02:32.510] Money don＇t grow on trees.
[02:35.420] We got bills to pay,
[02:37.200] We got mouths to feed,
[02:38.540] There ain＇t nothing in this world for free.
[02:41.640] I know we can＇t slow down,
[02:43.390] We can＇t hold back,
[02:44.820] Though you know, we wish we could.
