It Ain't the Money (feat. Pharoahe Monch) Lyrics

Heart of mine, milk and honey
It ain't the money, now we know
Doin' lines, ain't it funny
It ain't the money, now we know

After the money they lust sell their souls for the unlimited cash flow
In God we trust but that's never in class
Though Enron, WorldCom, CEO assholes
A monopoly to collect whenever they pass go

Big screen TV's, nigga please
There will be no alerts before they search the siege
13 hrs in the seal with the 13 leaves
13 steps that it takes to see 13 thieves

Hidee high, lowdy low
Get up and go to the show
Every time I get low
Get up and go to the show

I fell in love with her once, she was evil, I remember
Her 18th birthday she became legal tender
Some say she was heaven sent with skeletons in her closet
Traded herself for drugs and stayed inside of my wallet

I know women who couldn't have her who became alcoholics
In the fetal position bent over toilets
And calling for earl with pains in their bladders
So, people listen, when I tell you, it really don't matter

Betcha giving head to a movie star
Betcha gotta llama riding in your car
Betcha you gotta TV built in your jet skis

Betcha giving head to a movie star
Betcha gotta llama riding in your car
Betcha you gotta TV built in your jet skis

Hidee high, lowdy low
Get up and go to the show

Ain't it funny how the money
Makes the honey taste like nothing
You can't have no more, now we know
(Now we know that it don't mean nothing)

Ain't it funny how the money
Makes the honey taste like nothing
You can't have no more, now we know
(Now we know that it don't mean nothing)

Peace of mind, fill my tummy
It ain't the money, now we know
Hard to find, got my something
It ain't the money, now we know
(Now we know that it don't mean nothing)

Hidee high, lowdy low
Get up and go to the show

Ain't it funny how the money
Makes the honey taste like nothing
You can't have no more, now we know
(I'm in the kitchen cooking up food)
Now we know
(Now we know that it don't mean nothing)

Ain't it funny how the money
Makes the honey taste like nothing
You can't have no more
(Now we know that it don't mean nothing)
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]

Macy Gray (born Natalie McIntyre September 6, 1967) from Canton, Ohio is a Grammy Award winning neo soul/R&B singer, songwriter, record producer and actress. To date, Macy has released five studio albums, one compilation album and a live album. She has acted in a number of movies including Training Day, Idlewild, and Lackawanna Blues, Gray is best known for her international hit single "I Try", taken from her multi-platinum debut album On How Life Is. Other hits include "Sweet Baby," "Do Something," "When I See You," and "Beauty in the World."

Macy Gray was originally hesitant to record a studio album due to what is, arguably, her most recognizable feature -- her voice. She started her music career as a songwriter. Her first album was actually a mistake; she was at the studio waiting for the person who was supposed to be singing her song, and the producer wanted to hear what one of the songs was supposed to sound like. Once she started singing, the producer liked the rough sound of her voice so much he offered her a record deal.
