Wonderful (12" Version) (Feat. R. Kelly & Ashanti)

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

Wanna keep you flawed with no dough
Pimpin ain't easy, trust me I know
When gangstas and h'
Go, go, go, go, go, go together
Like chinchilla and bad weather
I'm good but been better
All my bros, chedda' and glamorous things
Copped a few cars, a crib with a east and west wing
Cuz 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 my weakness
Cuz the power of 's-s-y
Got a lotta n' wonderin' it, it ain't just I
Gotta keep ya cash comin' and that's on my life
If it wasn't for the money and the things I got
She probably wouldn't like me
But I keep her and Irv and Jeffrey quite icy
Sip Seraphim, who doesn't like me
And the murderous I-N-C

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

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 the show biz brought next level chicks
Pull up in them hot cars go and buy the whole bar
I came from the dirt, what you want me to say?
I'm at the top of the world and life's a p' buffet
And that's why I get MIA
Shut the game down so the bustas can't play
Hell yeah, I splurge money
Hell yeah, I act funny
Look at you like f'you
All the s'I been thru

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

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

I wonder why love is about money
And why you wanna take it all from me
Honey, my life is dark, but its lovely
Crimes, cars, cribs, ain't that right, Kelly?
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Y'all b' 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
Couldn't walk a mile in my shoes
Don't possess the heart that I do

It's a wonder why I'm still here (gone)
Said I was gone but I'm still here (gone)
And all you b' that left me here (oh)
It's kinda funny how you right back here (oh, oh, oh)

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