[Hook: R. Kelly and Ashanti]
If it wasn't for the money
Cars and movies stars and j**els
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)
[Ja Rule]
Wanna keep you flawed with no dough
Pimpin ain't easy
Trust me I know
When gangstas and hoes
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
Cuz this is how I'm livin and yall women know the secrets
Of how to get it and keep it
How to prey on my weakness
Cuz the power of p-u-s-s-y
Got a lotta n***as 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
sh**, she probably wouldn't like me
But I keep her and Irv and Jeffrey quite icy
Sip seraphim, who doesn't like me
And the murderous I-N-C

Oh, oh, oh
[R. Kelly]
How many girls does it take to get to
Mack status
Player status
Pimps that get
Ya boy half rich fore we hit show biz
But show biz brought next level chicks
Pull them in them hot cars go and buy the whole bar n***a
I came from the dirt what you want me to say
I'm at the top of the world and life's a p**y buffet
And that's why I get m-i-a
Shut the game down so the bustas can't play
Hell yeah I splurge money
Hell yeah I act funny
Look at you like f** you
All the sh** I been thru
It's a wonder why I'm still here
Said I was gone but I'm still here
And all you b**hes that left me here
Its mighty strange how you right back here
[Hook: R.Kelly and Ashanti]

Oh, oh, oh
[Ja Rule and 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 oh)
Yall b**hes 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
n***as couldn't walk a mile in my shoes
n***as don't possess the heart that I do
And it's a wonder that I'm still here
Thought I was gone but I'm still here
And all you b**hes that left me here
Its kinda funny how you right back there
[Hook: R.Kelly and Ashanti]
If it wasn't for the money
