Jericho (12’’ extended mix; 2021 remaster) Songtext
Listen boy, I′ll tell you a thing
I'll make you a career in the business I′m in
I'll make you rich, I'll make you a toy
I′ll make you turn over into my little boy
You see, I′m going somewhere
I don't know what I′m gonna do when, when I get there
You know money's a thing, your only inspiration
And your only meaning
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
You can fall when I will climb
But I′ll be falling over just by having you in my mind
(Mend that fight) oh, listen to them
Kickin' up a ball inside a Jericho wall
(Mend that fight) all twisted through them
If you ain′t rich then you won't go to the ball
You won't go to the ball
You won′t go to the ball
You won′t go, you won't go, you won′t go to the ball
You won't go to the ball
You won′t go to the ball
You won't go, you won′t go, you won't go to the ball
Having mercy and licking up love
And moving through your ocean like I've never had enough
You see, you ain′t all I want
You′re everything and more that I have ever hoped for
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
You can fall when I will climb
But I'll be falling over just by having you in mind
Mend that fight
If you ain′t rich then you won't go to the ball
(Mend that fight) oh listen to them
Kickin′ up a ball outside a number ten wall, yeah
(Mend that fight) all twisted through them
I'm rich, you ain′t, so you won't go to the ball, no more
You won't go to the ball
You won′t go to the ball
You won′t go, you won't go, you won′t go to the ball
You won't go to the ball
You won′t go to the ball
You won't go, you won′t go, you won't go to the ball
You won't go to the ball (if you ain′t got nothin′)
You won't go to the ball (hey)
You won′t go, you won't go (you never go there, you never go there)
You won′t go to the ball (you never go there)
You won't go to the ball (if you ain′t got nothin')
You won't go to the ball (oh, nothin′)
You won′t go, you won't go (you never go there, you never go there)
You won′t go to the ball (you never go there)
I tried to make you see
I tell you, I'd had enough
Money was a thing, money was a thing
Money was a thing that I believed in
I tried to make you see
I tell you, I′d had enough
Money was a thing, money was a thing
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money
You know I may (you know I may)
Money was a thing, money was a thing
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money
(Ooh-whoo-whoa-yeah) money was a thing, money was a thing
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money
Yeah, whoo
I'll make you a career in the business I′m in
I'll make you rich, I'll make you a toy
I′ll make you turn over into my little boy
You see, I′m going somewhere
I don't know what I′m gonna do when, when I get there
You know money's a thing, your only inspiration
And your only meaning
You must think that all I do

(Mend that fight) all twisted through them
If you ain′t rich then you won't go to the ball
You won't go to the ball
You won′t go to the ball
You won′t go, you won't go, you won′t go to the ball
You won't go to the ball
You won′t go to the ball
You won't go, you won′t go, you won't go to the ball
Having mercy and licking up love
And moving through your ocean like I've never had enough

You won't go to the ball
You won′t go to the ball
You won't go, you won′t go, you won't go to the ball
You won't go to the ball (if you ain′t got nothin′)
You won't go to the ball (hey)
You won′t go, you won't go (you never go there, you never go there)
You won′t go to the ball (you never go there)

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money
(Ooh-whoo-whoa-yeah) money was a thing, money was a thing
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money
Yeah, whoo
