If money makes a man strange, we gots to rearrange that So what makes the world go round If love is against the law, listen I don't know Gotta change how it's goin down If money makes a man strange, we gots to rearrange that So what makes the world go round If love is against the law, listen I don't know Gotta change the way it's goin down

Fell in love with this fish who got caught in my mesh But yo she burned my scene up like David Koresh I guess a diamond ain't nothing but a rock with a name I guess love ain't nuttin but emotion and game It's a lesson well learned so praise is well due I'm sendin off from Big I, to Kenny Calhoun And add a reservation for the resident crew And yo get your bowl cuz we cookin up stew See them Cubans don't care what y'all niggas do Colombians ain't never ran with your crew Why you acting all spicy and shiesty The only Italians you knew was icees, niggas price me I'm keepin it clean, like a washing machine And yo, get your locomotion running to full-steam I'm sending out a greeting to my man Daseem I got a child so I gotsta get the green, right right

If money makes a man strange, we gots to rearrange that So what makes the world go round If love is against the law, listen I don't know Gotta change how it's goin down If money makes a man strange, we gots to rearrange that So what makes the world go round If love is against the law, listen I don't know Gotta change the way it's goin down

I own the deeds to some acres in the West Indies Where my pops is building residence to house my seed Now here's the lead, y'all niggas pray to hot rods and not God While Versace play you bitches like Yahtzee Crackin jokes like you Potsie (When's the last time you had Happy Days?) Blazin up your herb to escape the maze, but the problem stays Think big get it big is my motto You can go and play your lotto, I'll be singin like baby won't you be mine You'll be pressin rewind, you can never see mine Keep your eyes focused, you can't touch this or quote this Style is crazy bogus so you can't try to approach this Stomp you out like roaches, pullin on my coattail Like some horses pullin coaches, whoa your roller coasters It's hotter than the temperature that's cookin in your toasters While the heat'll put you deep into hypnosis (its gettin hot y’all)
