[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 (Leads into Verse #4): Ashanti & (R. Kelly)]
|
Now, how many nights does it take to make you,
|
belive 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-run to
|
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.
|
|
[Bridge: Ashanti]
|
Straight to the top, y¡¯all all gon¡¯ see; all my ladies say uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh.
|
|
[Verse 4: Ashanti & (R. Kelly)]
|
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)?
|

Oh, oh, oh, oh!
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
