Money Don't Mean A Thing Lyrics


(Chorus)
Money dont mean a thing
Id rather have someone that makes me happy
Know the one, Me, her, love
Holdin each other, watchin the sun come up
And I would give up everything
Just to have a shorty that loves me
For me(Verse 1)
I got a house on a hill with 17 niggas around me
But it feels empty (yes it does)
And I can call two or three girls at the same time to make love to me
But I still feel lonely (so lonely)
Now I can go from 0 to 60 in my V-1-2 with the chromed out shoes
But it feels like Im standing still (standing still)
We can take a cruise around the world
And Ill pay the cost
But I feel lost (I feel so lost)
Money dont mean a thing

(Chorus)(Verse 2)
When I look out my window I can see a small body of water
And I wish I could sail away (sail away)
For it aint that far
I can probably can get from here to Amsha
A place in the motherland, Yall dont understand
From the outside, looking in, I live the perfect life
But that aint right no, no, no (so far from right)
So I do what I gotta do
Just to take it through (Im waitin on you)
Cause it dont mean a thing, without you
Money dont mean a thing
(Chorus)Money dont mean a thing (money dont mean a thing, no)
Money dont mean a thing
Money dont mean a thing
How many times have you had money in your life
But it didnt make things right
Money dont mean a thing
(Chorus) fade away

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Andwele Gardner (born February 14, 1978 in Detroit, Michigan), better known simply as Dwele, is an American R&B and soul singer-songwriter and producer known for his work with Slum Village, J Dilla and Kanye West. After self-releasing the demo tape Rize in 2000, he released his debut studio album Subject in 2003 through Virgin Records, his second album Some Kinda followed in 2005 and his third studio album Sketches of a Man was released in 2008. His fourth studio album W.W.W. (W.ants. W.orld. W.omen) was released in 2010.

Although Dwele has had somewhat of a short career as a commercially avaliable artist, he has a vast catalogue of material currently unreleased that die-hard fans revere as some of his best work, considerably superior to his material released as a signed artist that showcases the true depth of his artistic and diverse talent, displayed without constraint.

Gardner was raised on the west side of Detroit in a musical family. He played piano from the age of six, later taking up trumpet, bass and guitar. He was deeply affected by the fatal shooting of his father outside his home when he was age ten, later stating "I learned to put my emotions into music; it was my therapy."

He cites Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Roy Ayers, Miles Davis, and Freddie Hubbard as favorite artists, and took inspiration from hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest, becoming an MC, and working with Slum Village. Gardner recorded a demo in his bedroom, called, The Rize, and sold it out of the trunk of his car. He had about 100 copies, which sold out within a week. He caught the ears of local heroes Slum Village and more specifically their world-renowned producer J Dilla. Slum Village invited Dwele to sing the hook of the song "Tainted" for their album Trinity (Past, Present and Future). It became an instant classic and led to more high profile work with female rapper Bahamadia, the all-star group Lucy Pearl and London's New Sector Movement. Dwele signed to Virgin Records in 2003, who released his debut album, Subject, which mixed neo soul and hip hop. In a 2005 review in The Independent, his style was summed up: "Dwele's rooted in vintage soul but isn't stuck in the past, overly reverential or an exercise in pastiche - there's a major hip-hop edge which betrays his original incarnation as a rapper." A second album, Some Kinda..., followed in 2005. He then later signed with RT Music Group and KOCH records in March, 2008. He is coming out with his fourth album titled, W.W.W. (W.ants. W.orld. W.omen) coming out June 29, 2010. Dwele was recently featured on the first single off of Kanye West's fifth studio album, Good Ass Job. The song was entitled "Power" and was leaked on May 28, 2010.
