There are 2 types of hunger¡ Broke hunger will leave you feeling like you might collapse the next minute, but once the credit alert rings in, that becomes Rich Hunger, all of a sudden you're not that hungry anymore without eating anything? Why, if you ask me I'd say its one of the mysteries of this world we might never uncover.

LYRICS


[Intro: R. Kelly]

Huh
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus: R. Kelly & Ashanti]

If it wasn't for the money, cars, and movie stars, and jewels
And all these things I've got
I wonder, hey
Would you still want me? (Want you)
Would you still be calling me? (Still calling you)
You be loving me? (I'll be loving you)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1: Ja Rule]

Wanna keep you fly with no dough
Pimpin ain't easy, trust me, I know
But gangstas and hoes
Go, go-go-go-go-go together

Like chinchilla and bad weather
I'm good but been better
All my bros, cheddar and glamorous things

Copped a few cars, a crib with a east and west wing
'Cause this is how I'm livin' and y'all women know the secrets of how to get it and keep it

How to prey on our weakness
It's the power of P-U-S-S-Y, got a lotta niggas wonderin', it ain't just I

Gotta keep the cash comin' and that's on my life
If it wasn't for the money and the things I got, shit
She probably wouldn't like me

But I keep her and Irv and Jeffrey quite icy
Sip Sarafem, who doesn't like me?
And the murderous I-N-C

[Chorus: R. Kelly & Ashanti]

If it wasn't for the money, cars, and movie stars, and jewels
And all these things I've got
I wonder, hey

Would you still want me? (Want you)
Would you still be calling me? (Still calling you)
You be loving me? (I'll be loving you)
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2: R. Kelly]

But how many girls does it take to get to
Mack status? Player status?
Pimps that get
Ya boy half rich 'fore we hit show biz
But show biz brought next level chicks

Pull up in them hot cars, go and buy the whole bar, nigga
I came from the dirt, what you want me to say?
I'm at the top of the world and life's a pussy buffet (hey)

And that's why I get M-I-A (Oh)
Shut the game down so the bustas can't play (Oh)
Hell yeah, I splurge money
Hell yeah, I act funny
Look at you like, "Fuck you"
All the shit I been through

It's a wonder why I'm still here ('Cause)
Said I was gone but I'm still here ('Cause)
And all you bitches that left me here (Oh)
It's mighty strange how you right back here (Oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus: R. Kelly & Ashanti]

If it wasn't for the money, cars, and movie stars, and jewels
And all these things I've got
I wonder, hey

Would you still want me? (Want you)
Would you still be calling me? (Still calling you)
You be loving me? (I'll be loving you)
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3: Ja Rule & R. Kelly]

I wonder why love is about money
And why you wanna take it all from me, honey
My life is dark but it's lovely
Crimes, cars, cribs, ain't that right, Kelly? (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Y'all bitches don't know
Money ain't a thang
Mami need a lil' change, girl, I'm pitchin' quarters
Closest to the arches but live in a fortress

New Benzes, new Porsches
New cases, new lawyers
I'm becoming the infamous notorious Rule

Niggas couldn't walk a mile in my shoes
Niggas don't possess the heart that I do
And it's a wonder that I'm still here ('Cause)
Thought I was gone but I'm still here ('Cause)

And all you bitches that left me here (Oh)
It's kinda funny how you right back there (Oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus: R. Kelly & Ashanti]

If it wasn't for the money, cars, and movie stars, and jewels
And all these things I've got
I wonder, hey

Would you still want me? (Want you)
Would you still be calling me? (Still calling you)
You be loving me? (I'll be loving you)
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Outro: R. Kelly]

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh


Album: R.U.L.E (2004)

United States Revokes Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka's Visa

By Michael Ehindero

Nigerian Nobel laureate Professor Wole Soyinka on Tuesday disclosed that the United States has revoked his visa, effectively barring him from entering the country for the time being. Speaking during a media session at Kongi’s Harvest Gallery in Freedom Park, Lagos, Soyinka said he was shocked by the development, stressing that he was unaware of any action that could have triggered the decision. “I felt it necessary to call this conference so those in the United States expecting me for engagements don't waste their time,” he said. “I have no visa; I am banned, obviously, from the United States. And if you want to see me, you know where to find me.” Soyinka previously held permanent residency in the U.S., but relinquished his green card in 2016 in protest against the election of former President Donald Trump.
