Money Makes the World Go Round Lyrics


QB, Chi town
Money makes the world go round
Money makes the world go round
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 their price
And some cost more than others
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
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
You believe it if you want to
Money makes the world go round
Many say it's wrong 'cuz I love to spend
Ice in everything countin' Benjamin's
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
You believe it if you want to
Money makes the world go round
Yes, it does
Said, money makes the world go round
Nothing but the money makes the world go round
Yes, it does
Feels so good, yeah, yeah
(So good, this life I finally live)
And it feels so real, oh, freedom
(So real this freedom I finally feel)
Show me the money
Money makes the world go round
You believe it if you want to
Money makes the world go round
Said that almighty dollar
Money makes the world go round
Yes, it does
This brother's got to have it
From sun up till the sun goes down
(Money makes the world go round)
Yeah, so much money
(Money makes the world go round)
Much money, much money
Hey, it makes the world go round, yeah
(Money makes the world go round)
Show me a man that don't need money
(Money makes the world go round)
And I'll show you a world standing still, oh
(Money makes the world go round)
Yes, it does, talking 'bout the loot
(Money makes the world go round)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Anthony Cruz (born March 9, 1972 in Brooklyn, New York), better known by his stage name AZ, is a Grammy-nominated rapper currently residing in Englewood, New Jersey. He is mainly known for his close association with Nas, his membership in the hip hop supergroup The Firm, and his multi-syllabic rhyming pattern and deep content within his solo albums. He released his debut album, Doe Or Die, in 1995 and has since released 1998's Pieces of a Man, 2001's 9 Lives, 2002's Aziatic, 2005's A.W.O.L., 2006's The Format and 2008's Undeniable. AZ is currently working on his 10th studio album titled Doe or Die 2 to be released sometime in 2011.

Biography:
AZ was born Anthony Cruz to an African-American mother and a Dominican father. Although he had been rapping since 1992, AZ first came to prominence by appearing on Nas' landmark album Illmatic on the song "Life's a Bitch" (1994)—he was the only guest emcee to appear on that album. After a bidding war, AZ signed with EMI, and soon released Doe Or Die (1995) to more critical acclaim than commercial sales. The album's lead single, "Sugar Hill", became AZ's only major commercial success as a solo artist, reaching the top 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and achieving Gold status. AZ's EMI contract was transferred to sister label Noo Trybe Records/Virgin Records when the EMI Label Group was shut down.

In 1997, he and Nas appeared in an Sprite commercial.

AZ's fanbase grew considerably after he joined The Firm, a supergroup comprised of AZ, Nas, Foxy Brown, and Nature, with Dr. Dre and The Trackmasters producing. The Firm's only album, The Album, was regarded as critically disappointing. Pieces of a Man, AZ's second solo release, didn't sell well. Independently, AZ released S.O.S.A. to little fanfare in 2000. Soon, however, AZ signed with Motown/Universal Records and released 9 Lives.

In 2002, he released Aziatic. A single from the album, "The Essence," was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The video to its first single, "I'm Back," received moderate MTV2 play. AZ was supposed to release an album titled Final Call, around late 2004 or early 2005. Due to massive bootlegging, however, the album was never released. Instead, A.W.O.L. was released on September 6, 2005. This album featured many tracks that were on the unreleased Final Call, as well as some new ones—the first single was the DJ Premier-produced "The Come Up," and it became a moderately popular single.

AZ's sixth solo album The Format , was released on November 7, 2006.

Since The Format, AZ has released a mixtape titled The Memphis Sessions and a J-Love mixtape titled The Return of S.O.S.A. His latest album Undeniable will be released in early 2008.

Style:
AZ is known for his smooth, rhythmic cadence of delivery. He is also known for his use of multi-syllable rhyme schemes, internal rhymes, unconventional rhymes, and a large vocabulary. AZ is "one of the greatest rappers as far as lyrics and longevity", his style and flow are instantly recognizable and comparable to his friend and collaborator Nas.
