I Makes Money (Money Don’t Make Me)

I makes money, money don't make me

That's the way I am and it's plain to see

You get right with yourself, can't put you on a shelf

It's live and let live and it's plain enough

There ain't a dollar in the world to make me change my stuff

Now I met a lot of men who told me when they finally

Make their first million

Gonna live like kings, gonna try everything

Gonna flatter pretty women

If they know how to do it, why don't they get to it

Instead of waitin' all their lives?

'Cause life is only doing what you think is worth pursuing

Instead of waiting all the time

Well, I makes money, money don't make me

That's the way I am and it's plain to see

You get right with yourself, can't put you on a shelf

It's live and let live and it's plain enough

There ain't a dollar in the world to make me change my stuff

If you find yourself waiting and you know you're hesitating

Get your butt off the ground

Ain't your money or your honey, and you know it's kind of funny

When it's all boiled down

If you wanna be the man, you certainly can

Just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it

Clothes don't make the man, money won't help you stand

Any truer than you're doin'

I makes money, money don't make me

That's the way I am and it's plain to see

You get right with yourself, can't put you on a shelf

It's live and let live and it's plain enough

There ain't a dollar in the world to make me change my stuff

Well, you'll never find the endin' if you're sittin' and pretending

That should do it sometimes

Keep knocking on wood, that's exactly what you should

To save enough dimes

Build 'em up higher so you can retire

To your castle in the blue

And you find it's all behind and it's probably slipped your mind

But you're too pooped to toot

I makes money, money don't make me

That's the way I am and it's plain to see

You get right with yourself, can't put you on a shelf

It's live and let live and it's plain enough

There ain't a dollar in the world to make me change my stuff, wooh
