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
