Lyrics

TWENTY DOLLAR BILL c 2003, Rex Poindexter-Craig Lackey 323-654-6163.

I'm a greenback, a twenty-dollar bill
Been around the world, I'm circulatin' still
A friend to some, or the root of all evil
Been saved, or wasted on a ...cheap thrill

To the rich man, I'm just a casual tip
But to the waitress, I coulda helped her pay the rent
Till she spent me first on a Cuervo Cooler
A pack of cigarettes and a ...Quick Pick

IN ONE HAND, I'M JUST PAPER
IN ANOTHER, I'M YOUR SAVIOUR
EVERY ONE SAYS "IN GOD WE TRUST"
BUT WATCH WHAT THEY DO, JUST TO TOUCH THIS TWENTY DOLLAR BILL

I'm in the Stop-n-Go cash drawer till a man with a mask
Pulls a gun, stuffs me in a paper sack
Runs down the street to a needle and a deal
With the devil that he wishes he could ...take back

Now the dealer needs a lap dance, so he pays for a kiss
And the dancer needs to wash away her sins
So she drops me off in the Sunday plate
And prays for a little de...liverance

(REPEAT CHORUS)

The deacons met and they made a plan
They need another building, a little more land
To house the homeless, feed the poor
Raise the biggest steeple ever raised before--

Then a holy hand dips into the cash
To push along a permit with a kickback
And the rich man smiles to his fav'rite waitress
Slides me again into her... hot hands

Cause I'm a greenback, a 20 dollar bill
Been around the world, I'm circulatin' still
A friend to some, or the root of all evil
It's really up to you to choose ...what you will
