[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!
[Refrain] :
[R. Kelly] 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
[Ashanti] Want you?
Would you still be calling me
[Ashanti] Still calling you?
You be loving me
[Ashanti] I'll be loving you, uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh?
[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?
[Refrain]
[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
([R. 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 ([R. Kelly:] Gaw.),
Thought I was gone but I'm still here ([R. Kelly:] Gaw.),
And all you bitches that left me here ([R. Kelly:] OH!),
It's kinda funny ([R. Kelly:] OH!) how you ([R. Kelly:] OH!) right back there
[R. Kelly] OH!.
[Refrain]
[R. Kelly, Ashanti, and Irv Gotti]:
[R. Kelly] Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh ([Ashanti] mmmm...)!
Oh, oh, oh, oh ([Ashanti] hey-yeah...)!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh ([Ashanti] owww...)!
Oh, oh, oh, oh ([Ashanti] hey-yeah, mmmm...)!
[Irv Gotti] Ashanti...
[Ashanti and 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 ([R. Kelly:] Gaw.),
And all this hatin' and we still here ([R. Kelly:] Gaw.).
You didn't think that we would be here ([R. Kelly:] OH!),
Ain't ([R. Kelly:] OH!) no mistakin', this is ([R. Kelly:] OH!) our year
([R. Kelly:] OH!).
[Refrain]
[R. Kelly] x4:
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
