I did it for the money, that's right
realized it's best to come clean after last night
Sure, you caught me red handed
but it wasn't that - in fact my conscience demanded
A fresh start, a clean break, a pure heart
I know I've made mistakes, but I've turned it around
This is a great place from which to move forward
So don't beat it to the ground...
I did it for the money
is that such a crime?
I did it for the money
it didn't seem so wrong at time
in this world of misfits and murderers
counterfeits and perjurers...
I'm not afraid to come before you and say
I did it for the money
I did it for the money, that's right
but I'm a man of the people as my record clearly demonstrates
sure you caught me red handed
but I fell victim as the situation commanded
Discretion and secrecy, all driven by decency
you've just got to trust that I know what's best
I did it for the money, as I've admitted now
it doesn't matter from whom, or when, or how
Truth is, I did it for your own good
in fact a stack came back to your neighborhoods
Let only those judge me who are without sin
