Like coin, cha-ching
The root of evil strikes again, this could sting

from Nas (Ft. Jay-Z) – Black Republican Lyrics on Rap Genius

This is a bible reference. In First Timothy, chapter six, verse ten, it says that the love of money is the root of all evil. Here Jay is saying that coin, and “the root of evil” (the love of money)
Forces conflict where it shouldn’t be.
