Butterfly, I can't deny
You've been floating all through my mind
With a lil time, you & I
Can set the world on fi-yiy-ire
But you tell me that your time is money
So I gotta make it do what it do
But when you got the power, why work for the dollar
When the dollar can work for you?
Money ain't gotta thang on me
Ain't gotta thang on me oh no no no!
Ain't gotta thang on me oh no no no!
Ain't gotta thang on me oh no no no!
Brother man, I know that I can
Make a hundred grand workin' for the other man
But I understand, when it's time to switch
Cause makin' money don't make you rich
When you're stretched out, all stressed out
Knowin' somethin' ain't right, and you're left out
Can't let that 9-5, put a seatbelt on my mind
When the tell you that your time is money
So you gotta make it do what it do
But when you got the power, why work for the dollar
Whe the dollar can work for you?
Money ain't gotta thang on me
Ain't gotta thang on me oh no no no!
Ain't gotta thang on me oh no no no!
Ain't gotta thang on me oh no no no!
For the dolla, put your heart on a collar, say: no no no!
No no no!
For the green, givin' up on your dream, say: no no no!
No no no!
You're getting paid, but your souls a slave, say: no no no!
No no no!
Baby I got too much drive, to put a seatbelt on my mind
But you tell me that your time is money
So I gotta make it do what it do
But when you got the power, why work for the dollar
When the dollar can work for you?
Money ain't gotta thang on me
Ain't gotta thang on me oh no no no!
Ain't gotta thang on me oh no no no!
Ain't gotta thang on me oh no no no!
