[Chorus: R. Kelly & Ashanti] If it wasn't for the money, cars and movies Stars and j**els and all these things I've got I wonder, hey Would you still want me? Want you Would you still be calling me? Still calling you You'll be loving me? I'll be loving you [Verse 1: Ja Rule] Wanna keep you flawed with no dough Pimping 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 get cheddar and glamorous things Copped a few cars, a crib with east and west wing 'Cause this is how I'm living and y'all women know the secrets Of how to get it and keep it, how to prey on my weakness The power of P-U-S-S-Y Got a lot of n***as wondering, it ain't just I Gotta keep your cash coming and that's on my life If it wasn't for the money and the things I got 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 [Chorus: R. Kelly & Ashanti] If it wasn't for the money, cars and movies Stars and j**els and all these things I've got I wonder, hey Would you still want me? Want you Would you still be calling me? Still calling you You'll be loving me? I'll be loving you [Verse 2: Ja Rule & R. Kelly] I want to know why love is about money And why you wanna take it all from me Honey, my life is dark, but it's lovely Crimes, cars, cribs, ain't that right, Kelly? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Y'all b**hes don't know money ain't a thang Mami need a little change Girl, I'm pitching 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 It's no wonder that I'm still here Thought I was gone but I'm still here And all you b**hes that left me here It's kind of funny how you right back there [Chorus: R. Kelly & Ashanti] If it wasn't for the money, cars and movies Stars and j**els and all these things I've got I wonder, hey Would you still want me? Want you Would you still be calling me? Still calling you You'll be loving me? I'll be loving you [Bridge: R. Kelly] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh oh oh oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh oh oh oh Ashanti... [Verse 3: Ashanti] Now, how many nights does it take to make you believe my love? Through all these years, done had your kids How could you wonder? See, I was with you through the rain and the thunder And all the crying and the pain, who'd you run to? Now tell me, baby, do you still wonder? 'Cause I'm that chick from I-.N-C Some try to front, but them chicks ain't me Straight to the top, you all gonna see All my ladies say, "Oh, oh, oh, oh" It's no wonder why we still here And all this hating and we still here You didn't think that we would be here Ain't no mistaking, this is our year [Chorus: R. Kelly & Ashanti] If it wasn't for the money, cars and movies Stars and j**els and all these things I've got I wonder, hey Would you still want me? Want you Would you still be calling me? Still calling you You'll be loving me? I'll be loving you [Outro (repeats until fade): R. Kelly] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh oh oh oh
