I was walking down the street
When out the corner of my eye i saw a
Pretty little thing approaching me
She said i never seen a man who looked
So all alone oh could you use a little company?
And if you pay the right price your evening will be nice
And you can go and send me on my way
You're such a sweet young thing why did you do this to yourself?
She looked at me and she said
No no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money dont grow on trees
I got bills to pay i got mouths to feed
Ain't nothing in this world for free
And no i cant slow down
I cant hold back
Though you know i wish i could
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
Not even fifteen minutes later
I'm still walkin' down the street
When i saw the shadow of a man
Creep out of sight
And then he swept up from behind he put a gun up to my head he made it clear he wasn't lookin' for a fight
He said give me all you got i want your money not your life.
But if you try to make a move i won't think twice.
I said take my cash but first i gotta ask what made you live this kind of life?
And he said
No no there aint no rest for the wicked
Money dont grow on trees
I got bills to pay i got mouths to feed
Ain't nothing in this world for free
And no i cant slow down
I cant hold back
Though you know i wish i could
No there aint no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
Well now a couple hours passed and i was sitting in my House the day was winding down and coming to an end
So i turned on the tv and flipped it over to the news
And what i saw i almost couldn't comprehend
I saw a preacher man in cuffs taken money from the church Stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
But i cant say much because i know we're all the same
We all need to satisfy those thrills
No no there aint no rest for the wicked
Money dont grow on trees
I got bills to pay i got mouths to feed
Ain't nothing in this world for free
And no i cant slow down
I cant hold back
Though you know i wish i could
No there aint no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
