[Intro: R. Kelly]
| Huuuummm…ha, ha, ha, huuummm….
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
| Oh, oh, oh, oh!
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
| Oh, oh, oh, oh!
|
| [Chorus: R. Kelly and (Ashanti)]
| If it wasn’t for the money, cars and movies stars and jewels
| And all these things I got, I wonder, hey.
| Would you still want me (Want you)?
| Would you still be calling me (Still calling you)?
| You be loving me (I’ll be loving you, uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh)?
|
| [Verse 1: Ja Rule]
| Wanna keep you flawed with no dough?
| Pimpin’ ain’t easy. Trust me I know.
| When gangstas’ and hos’,
| Go, go, go, go, go, go together like chinchilla and bad weather,
| I’m good but been better.
| All my bros, chedda and glamorous things, copped a few cars.
| A crib with a east and west wing.
| Cause this is how I’m livin’ and y’all women know the secrets of how to get it and keep it, how to prey on my weakness,
| Cause I want the P-U-S-S-Y.
| Got a lotta niggaz wonderin’ it ain’t just I,
| Gotta keep ya cash comin’ and that's on my life.
| If it wasn’t for the money and the things I got,
| Shit, she probably wouldn’t like me.
| But I keep her and Irv and Jeffrey quite icy
| Sip seraphin’.
| Who doesn’t like me and the Murderous I-N-C?
|
| [Chorus: R. Kelly and (Ashanti)]
| If it wasn’t for the money, cars and movies stars and jewels
| And all these things I got, I wonder, hey.
| Would you still want me (Want you)?
| Would you still be calling me (Still calling you)?
| You be loving me (I’ll be loving you, uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh)?
|
| [Verse 2: Ja Rule (R. Kelly)]
| I wonder why love is about money
| and why you wanna take it all from me?
| Honey,
| My life is dark but its lovely.
| Crimes, cars, cribs.
| Ain’t that right Kelly
| ( Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!)?
| Y’all bitches don’t know,
| Money ain’t a thang.
| Mami need a lil’ change,
| Girl, I’m pitchin’ quarters.
| Closest to the arches but live in a fortress.
| New Benzes, new Porsches,
| New cases, new lawyers.
| I’m becoming the infamous Notorious Rule.
| Niggas’, couldn’t walk a mile in my shoes,
| Niggas’ don’t possess the heart that I do.
| And it’s a wonder that I’m still here (Gaw.),
| Thought I was gone but I’m still here (Gaw.),
| And all you bitches that left me here (OH!),
| It’s kinda funny (OH!) how you (OH!) right back there
| (OH!).
|
| [Chorus: R. Kelly and (Ashanti)]
| If it wasn’t for the money, cars and movies stars and jewels
| And all these things I got, I wonder, hey.
| Would you still want me (Want you)?
| Would you still be calling me (Still calling you)?
| You be loving me (I’ll be loving you, uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh)?
|
| [R. Kelly (Ashanti), and {Irv Gotti}]
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh (mmmm…)!
| Oh, oh, oh, oh (hey-yeah…)!
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh (owww…)!
| Oh, oh, oh, oh (hey-yeah, mmmm…)!
| {Ashanti…}
|
| [Verse 3: Ashanti (R. Kelly)]
| Now, how many nights does it take to make you,
| To be my love, through all these years?
| Done had yo’ kids.
| How could you wonder, hey-yeah?
| See, I was wit’ you through the rain and thunder,
| And all that cryin’ and that pain who-cha-grunda.
| Now, tell me baby, do you still wonder, hey-yeah?
| ‘Cause I’m that chick from I-N-C;
| Some try to front, but then, chicks ain’t me.
| Straight to the top, y’all all gon’ see; all my ladies say uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh.
| It’s no wonder why we still here (Gaw.,)
| And all this hatin’ and we still here (Gaw)
| You didn’t think that we would be here (OH!),
| Ain’t (OH!) no mistakin’, this is (OH!) our year
| (OH!).
|
| [Chorus: R. Kelly and (Ashanti)]
| If it wasn’t for the money, cars and movies stars and jewels
| And all these things I got, I wonder, hey.
| Would you still want me (Want you)?
| Would you still be calling me (Still calling you)?
| You be loving me (I’ll be loving you, uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh)?
