[D]
[A]
I know that he's powerful, that he's got the people in his power, the power to say something.
[A]
Started at the bottom and he works his way up [D] now, he'll stay on the goal until he reaches the top.
[A]
It's the same old [D] story, it's [A] the same old [D] dream, power that, [D] power that, and all that [A] can bring.
If you want money, better spend it on [D] a lot of jewelry and a pickin' up the nickels and [A] dimes.
[Eb] [A]
Call him lame, but he's sense [Eb] and grit, [D] everybody else just a sucker to him.
[A] [G] [A]
[A] And he's got my [D] money, [A] but I've got my [D] flame, power that, power that, I'll never feel asleep.
It's the same old [D] story, [A] it's the same [D] old game, power that, power that, it's drivin'
me [A] insane.
[G]
[D] [A]
He tried to come to the [D] world, [F] I'm still in charge, I'm [C] leanin' too, [A]
I don't need your
[D] mind, I don't need no [F] guns, I'm money [C] only.

I'm not rich and I'm [Gm] not free, [D] but I got my gal and she got me.

[D] [A]
And she's got me [D] goin', [A] and she keeps me [D] sane, power that, power that, got money on [A] the brain.
It's the same old story, [A] it's the same old [D] game, power that, power that, it's drivin'
