[Interlude: Jill Scott]
It's beautiful outside
Looks like it's rainin money mayne, ohh
It's beautiful outside
Looks like it's rainin money mayne, ohh, ohhh

[Jon Connor]
Say what's up to the broke nigga at the rich party (woo!)
Who the fuck let this nigga in? Do it look like I give a fuck? Sorry (yeah!)
Lookin at these hoes and they gold-digger gorgeous tryna get me (woo!)
I run game on a bitch and one Mississippi, two Mississippi (yeah!)
Flint nigga in the spot 'til they pop one then the cops come like (woo!)
Muh'fuckers own a shotgun like a pop gun and they ready like (yeah!)
Civic hood nigga, I'm a Northside nigga 'til I'm gone (woo!)
Do it for the ones in the hood like "Connor gon' put the city on"
Wait - fuck that shit nigga, fuck that shit, go!
Live for my hood, look, this for my block
ride for the hood, gotta spit it like 'Pac
Ain't got shit but I still feel good
nigga can't take what a nigga don't got
Go hard in the paint, you can tell 'em post up
homie in the hood like "Let me hold somethin"
Your mans in the hood talkin all that shit
when they ran up on him lil' buddy froze up
All they be talkin but ain't sayin nothin
niggaz be talkin, that ain't what they want
Ain't no fake shit around here
cause my nigga my city is really as real as the fuck
I be killin this shit, I ain't givin a fuck
you lovin the bitch, she get hit in the truck
You think this sound crazy, this how I grew up
so this for my people who still in the cut!

[Chorus: Jill Scott]
Want that, need that
Root of all evil mayne, ohh (get it, get it)
I said I want that, need that
Root of all evil mayne, ohh
{"For the love of money"}

[Dr. Dre]
Say what's up to the nigga wearin all black at the white party (woo!)
And I'm lookin like I don't give a fuck, just how I get down nigga, sorry (yeah!)
And I'm lookin like I don't play no games, nah nigga don't try me (woo!)
Been that nigga that's spittin that, paid dues like a motherfuckin hobby (yeah!)
If you're on that bullshit nigga better fly that shit right by me (woo!)
Came from the bottom of this bitch and made it out of that shit and that's why we (yeah!)
On top of this motherfuckin world! Damn, look at that body (woo!)
She come along with the territories, turn around, move it for me (yeah!)
Bend it over, end of story

[Anderson .Paak] + (Dr. Dre)
Seems like chasin paper's what's important to you
(Got a relationship with that money)
But that bitch will never be faithful to you
(Even though I know she knows she crazy)
Please just let it go, seems no savin you
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, c'mon!)
(Girl let's ride ride, 'til the motherfuckin wheels fall off in this bitch)
But we can do it for the love
(Yeah! Huh, but I'm never stoppin my poppin - OH NO!)
These numbers don't lie, uh, but your love is superficial
It's the simple shit you need to pay attention to
(Need to pay attention, yeah!)

[Chorus]

"For the love of money..."
"For the love of money..."
"For the love of money..."
