  • Beggars can't be choosers, huh?
    Uh-huh, listen

    Dollar, dollar bill ya'll
    Everybody lookin' for somethin'
    Can make you wanna kill, ya'll
    You can't get somethin' for nothin'

    Work hard and play even harder
    Gotta save up all my nickels and quarters
    Can't ask you for a handout
    It's time to be a man now

    I don't need it, you can keep your money
    I don't want it if you gonna throw it up in my face
    I'm still leavin', you can keep your money
    Because you ain't worth the time
    Can't let it go to waste

    (Money) makes the world go 'round
    (M-m-money) makes the world go 'round
    I'm hungry and you got me goin' (give me my money!)
    I'm hungry and you got me goin' (give me my money!)

    Temporary lay off
    Guess that all the good times are over
    When will it ever pay off?
    I guess I didn't know when to fold em'

    Work long, so I can play all the time
    Gotta save up all my nickels and dimes
    Can't ask you for a handout
    It's time to be a man now

    I don't need it, you can keep your money
    I don't want it if you gonna throw it up in my face
    I'm still leavin', you can keep your money
    Because you ain't worth the time
    Can't let it go to waste

    (Money) makes the world go 'round
    (M-m-money) makes the world go 'round
    I'm hungry and you got me goin' (give me my money!)
    I'm hungry and you got me goin' (give me my money!) Writer/s: JAMES DAVID WASHINGTON, TIMOTHY MOSLEY
