  • You say that you wanna go
    To a land that's far away
    How are we supposed to get there
    With the way that we're living today?

    You talk lots about God
    Freedom comes from the call
    But that's not what this bitch wants
    Not what I want at all

    I want money, power and glory
    I want money and all your power, all your glory
    Hallelujah, I wanna take you for all that you got
    Hallelujah, I'm gonna take them for all that they got, baby

    The sun also rises on those who fail the call
    My life, it comprises of losses and wins and fails and falls
    I can do it if you really, really like that
    I know what you really want, b-baby
    I can do it if you think you like that
    You should run, boy, run

    I want money, power and glory
    I want money and all your power, all your glory
    Hallelujah, I wanna take you for all that you got
    Hallelujah, I'm gonna take them for all that they got, baby

    Dope and diamonds
    Dope and diamonds
    Diamonds
    Dope and diamonds
    Dope and diamonds
    That's all I am

    Dope and diamonds
    Dope and diamonds
    Diamonds
    Dope and diamonds
    Dope and diamonds
    Diamonds

    I want money, power and glory
    I want money and all your power, all your glory
    Hallelujah, I wanna take you for all that you got
    Hallelujah, I'm gonna take them for all that they got, baby Writer/s: Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, Gregory Allen Kurstin
