Ain't no rest for the wicked

[00:12.47] I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye

[00:15.44] I saw a pretty little thing approaching me

[00:18.21] She said, "I never seen a man, who looks so all alone

[00:21.44] And could you use a little company?

[00:24.19] If you can pay the right price, your evening will be nice

[00:27.69] But you can go and send me on my way"

[00:30.16] I said, "You're such a sweet young thing, why you do this to yourself?"

[00:33.69] She looked at me and this is what she said

[00:36.92] Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked

[00:39.90] Money don't grow on trees

[00:42.92] I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed

[00:45.91] There ain't nothing in this world for free

[00:48.92] Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back

[00:52.15] Though you know, I wish I could

[00:55.15] Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked

[00:58.16] Until we close our eyes for good

[01:01.65] Not even fifteen minutes later after walking down the street

[01:04.42] When I saw the shadow of a man creep out out of sight

[01:07.61] And then he swept up from behind, he put a gun up to my head

[01:10.40] He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight

[01:13.39] He said, "Give me all you've got, I want your money not your life

[01:16.65] But if you try to make a move I won't think twice"

[01:19.90] I told him, "You can have my cash, but first you know I gotta ask

[01:22.89] What made you want to live this kind of life?"

[01:25.68] He said

[01:26.40] Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked

[01:30.15] Money don't grow on trees

[01:31.91] I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed

[01:34.91] There ain't nothing in this world for free

[01:38.15] Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back

[01:41.40] Though you know, I wish I could

[01:44.40] Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked

[01:47.15] Until we close our eyes for good

[02:03.15] Well now a couple hours past and I was sitting in my house

[02:05.89] The day was winding down and coming to an end

[02:09.16] And so I turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news

[02:11.89] And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend

[02:15.15] I saw a preacher man in cuffs, he'd taken money from the church

[02:18.15] He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills

[02:21.15] But even still I can't say much because I know we're all the same

[02:24.40] Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills

[02:27.40] Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked

[02:30.67] Money don't grow on trees

[02:33.65] We got bills to pay, we got mouths to feed

[02:36.91] There ain't nothing in this world for free

[02:39.91] Oh no we can't slow down, we can't hold back

[02:42.66] Though you know we wish we could

[02:45.66] Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked

[02:48.65] Until we close our eyes for good
