Money Makes the World Go Round Lyrics

[Nas]
QB
Chitown
Money make the world go round
Money make the world go round
(What? Go money)
Money makes the world go round
TM

Yo, for those who live the way that I live
We came a long way
From wiping coal outta eyelids, to rap's hottest
Fake Gazelles to black Pradas
Selling nicks to trey bags, to making hits like Kidada Jones' father
OG's would send me to the store with a dollar
Hit me with some wise advice for me to follow
Ain't nothing free in the world in life
No matter who you are, everybody got they price
And some cost more than other's
When you poor, it's like life ain't even worth living
But when you rich, it's every fat ass worth hittin'
With no chips, your drawers just stay on your hips
I play with the six cuz money make the whole world spin
But without the Franklin faces, you see who's your real friends
It's V-12's, honeys on the cell, bobbin' out the JBL
It's Nas and R. Kell

[R. Kelly]
Never thought that I'd ever live this life
Money stacked in rolls, honeys on each side
Anything I want, I can say it's mine
No more worries 'bout how can I provide

Money makes the world go round
(Nothin' move but the money)
You believe it if you want to
Money makes the world go round
(Said nothin' move but the money)

[R. Kelly]
Oh, many say it's wrong cause I love to spend
Ice in everything countin' Benjamins
All I wanna do try, and let you know
If you don't believe, ask someone who's broke

Money makes the world go round
(Money makes the world go round)
You believe it if you want to
Money makes the world go round
Yes it does
(Still nuttin' move but the money)
Said money makes the world go round
(Money make the world go round, what?
Still nuttin' move but the money)
Nothing but the money
Money makes the world go round
Yes it does

Feels so good, yeah, yeah
So good, this life I finally live
And feels so real
So real this freedom I finally feel
Show me the money

Money makes the world go round
(Go money, go money)
You believe it if you want to
Money makes the world go round
(Go money, go money, yo)
Said that almighty dollar
Money makes the world go round
Yes it does
(Still don't nuttin' move but the money)
This brother's got to have it
Money makes the world go round
From sun up till the sun goes down
(Yeah, what?)
So much money

Money makes the world go round
Hey, makes the world go round
Money makes the world go round

Money makes the world go round
Show me a man that don't need money
Money makes the world go around
And I'll show you a world
(Show me a world)
Standing still, oh
Money makes the world go round
Yes it does, talking 'bout the loot
Money makes the world go round

What is the Meaning of Money Makes the World Go Round?

In this collaboration, R. Kelly and Nas eloquently articulate the pervasive influence of money on various facets of life. The lyrics compellingly underscore a socioeconomic dichotomy, positing that financial resources can drastically alter one's quality of life. Nas's verses recount a personal journey from poverty to affluence, emphasizing how wealth acquisition impacts social interactions and personal fulfillment. He highlights the value placed on material wealth, insinuating that true friends are revealed in times of financial scarcity. R. Kelly's chorus and verse extend this narrative, asserting that money is a critical enabler of desires and a buffer against life's insecurities. The repetition of the assertion, "Money makes the world go round," serves as a critical commentary on the fundamental role of money in shaping human experiences and societal dynamics, thereby suggesting that financial capital is indispensable for both personal and communal progress.
