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 (yeah, yeah)
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 (check it out)


Fell in love with this fish who got caught in my mesh (what?)
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 ′cause we cookin' up stew

See them Cubans don't care what y′all - do
Colombians ain′t never ran with your crew
Why you acting all spicy and shiesty
The only Italians you knew was icees, - price me
I'm keepin′ it clean, like a washing machine
Ayo, 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


Itzsoweezee (it′s gettin' hot this year)
Itzsoweezee (it′s gettin' hot)
Itzsoweezee (it′s gettin' hot this year)
Itzsoweezee (it′s gettin' hot)
Itzsoweezee (it's gettin′ hot this year)
Itzsoweezee (it′s gettin' hot)
Itzsoweezee (it′s gettin' hot this year)
Itzsoweezee (it′s gettin' hot)

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 - pray to hot rods and not God
While Versace play you - 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 (it′s gettin' hot, y′all)

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

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
