[Intro: R. Kelly]
HuuuummmâŚha, ha, ha, huuummmâŚ.
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 wasnât 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 (Iâll be loving you, uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh)?
[Verse 1: Ja Rule]
Wanna keep you flawed with no dough?
Pimpinâ ainât easy. Trust me I know.
When gangstasâ and hosâ,
Go, go, go, go, go, go together like chinchilla and bad weather,
Iâm 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 Iâm livinâ and yâall 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 wonderinâ it ainât just I,
Gotta keep ya cash cominâ and that's on my life.
If it wasnât for the money and the things I got,
Shit, she probably wouldnât like me.
But I keep her and Irv and Jeffrey quite icy
Sip seraphinâ.
Who doesnât like me and the Murderous I-N-C?
[Chorus: R. Kelly and (Ashanti)]
If it wasnât 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 (Iâll 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.
Ainât that right Kelly
( Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!)?
Yâall bitches donât know,
Money ainât a thang.
Mami need a lilâ change,
Girl, Iâm pitchinâ quarters.
Closest to the arches but live in a fortress.
New Benzes, new Porsches,
New cases, new lawyers.
Iâm becoming the infamous Notorious Rule.
Niggasâ, couldnât walk a mile in my shoes,
Niggasâ donât possess the heart that I do.
And itâs a wonder that Iâm still here (Gaw.),
Thought I was gone but Iâm still here (Gaw.),
And all you bitches that left me here (OH!),
Itâs kinda funny (OH!) how you (OH!) right back there
(OH!).
[Chorus: R. Kelly and (Ashanti)]
If it wasnât 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 (Iâll be loving you, uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh)?
[R. Kelly (Ashanti), and {Irv Gotti}]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh (mmmmâŚ)!
Oh, oh, oh, oh (hey-yeahâŚ)!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh (owwwâŚ)!
Oh, oh, oh, oh (hey-yeah, mmmmâŚ)!
{AshantiâŚ}
[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 yoâ kids.
How could you wonder, hey-yeah?
See, I was witâ you through the rain and thunder,
And all that cryinâ and that pain who-cha-grunda.
Now, tell me baby, do you still wonder, hey-yeah?
âCause Iâm that chick from I-N-C;
Some try to front, but then, chicks ainât me.
Straight to the top, yâall all gonâ see; all my ladies say uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh.
Itâs no wonder why we still here (Gaw.,)
And all this hatinâ and we still here (Gaw)
You didnât think that we would be here (OH!),
Ainât (OH!) no mistakinâ, this is (OH!) our year
(OH!).
[Chorus: R. Kelly and (Ashanti)]
If it wasnât 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 (Iâll be loving you, uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh)?
[Outro: R. Kelly]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
Oh, oh, oh, ohâŚ
