IT AIN'T THE MONEY Sign in or register

 
Heart of mine
Heart of mine
Milk and honey
Mild and honey
It ain't the money
It ain't the money
Now we know
Now we know
Doing lines
Doing lines
Ain't it funny
Ain't it funny
That it ain't the money
It ain't the money
Now we know
Now we know

After the money they lust
Sell their souls for the unlimited cash flow
In god we trust but that's never in class though
Enron
Worldcom
CEO assholes
A monopoly to collect
Whenever they pass go
Big screen TVs nigga please
There will be no alerts before they search the siege
Thirteen hours in the seal with the thirteen leaves
Thirteen steps that it takes to see thirteen thieves

Hi-dee-hi
Hi-dee-hi
Lo-dee-lo
Lo-dee-lo
Get up and go
Get up and go
To the show
To the show
Every time
Every time
I get low
I get low
Get up and go
Get up and go
To the show
To the show

I fell in love with her once
She was evil I remember
Her eighteenth birthday she became legal tender
Some say she heaven sent
With skeletons in her closet
Trading herself for drugs
And stayed inside of my wallet
I know women who couldn't have her who became alcoholics
In the fetal position bent over toilets
And calling for earl with pains in their bladder
So people listen when I tell you it really don't matter

Bet you're giving head to a movie star
(???)
Bet you're gonna love me riding in your car
(???)
Bet you got a TV built in your jet skis
Yeah jet ski
Bet you're giving head to a movie star
Bet you're gonna love me riding in your car
Bet you got a TV built in your jet skis
Damn

Hi-dee-hi
Hi-dee-hi
Lo-dee-lo
Lo-dee-lo
Get up and go
Get up and go

Ain't it funny how the money
Makes the honey taste like nothing
You can't have no more
Now we know
Now we know that it don't mean nothing
Ain't it funny how the money
How the money makes the honey taste like nothing
Makes the honey taste like nothing
You can't have no more
People act like they have but they're bluffing
Now we know
Now we know that it don't mean nothing

Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Fill my tummy
Fill my tummy
It ain't the money
It ain't the money
Now we know
Now we know that it don't mean nothing
Hard to find
Ain't it funny how
Got my something
And it ain't the money
People act like they have but they're bluffing
Now we know
Now we know that it don't mean nothing

Hi-dee-hi
Bet you're giving head to a movie star
Lo-dee-lo
Bet you're gonna love me riding in your car
Get up and go
Bet you got a TV built in your jet skis
To the show
Ain't it funny how the money
Bet you're giving head to a movie star
Makes the honey taste like nothing
Bet you're gonna love me riding in your car
You can't have no more
Bet you got a TV built in your jet skis
Now we know
I'm in the kitchen cooking up food
Now we know
Now we know that it don't mean nothing
Ain't it funny how the money
Ain't it funny how
Makes the honey taste like nothing
You can't have no more
People act like they have but they're bluffing
Now we know that it don't mean nothing
