[R. Kelly]
  No matter what ya'll say or do
  We gotta get this money
  Watch out playa, we come for you
  Take all of your honies
  First of the month and rent is due
  We gotta get this paper
  Come for us, we'll wait for you
  A million men can't take us
    [1] - Did you ever think that you would be this rich
  Did you ever think that you would have these hits
  Did you ever think that you would be the don
  Have a crib with a fifty acre lawn
    Did you ever think that you would be this paid
  Were there times when your ass was real afraid
  Did you ever think that you would sell out tours
  Have a show with fifty million viewers
    I used to think about how I was gonna make it
  Struggling day to day just trying to get this paper
  Hoping the day would come when things would go my way
  But now I'm living lavish and all I do is hear them say

  Hey yo
  Now who knows poverty like Robert and me
  Q, did you ever think you'd be dancin' and vibin' with me
  Q, did you ever think you'd push a Ferrari, blast a Nas CD
  With 5 TV's and DVD's, come on ride with me
  Hey then you fly like me
  Honey you heard about the style I got
  We from the wildest plot, we're police
  May the rest carry heat where best, we ghetto
  Never thought we'd ever reach this level
  My people behind metal
  The streets coulda had us, but now we live lavish
  Our preach be the baddest
  Bus 'em out while maids change the sheets on the mattress
  It's deep cuz I never thought I'd reach this status
  Walk around and grown women stop and look
  They recognize me, no longer hide they pocketbooks
  Hate me now cuz I ain't gonna stop, you're stuck
  The remix is R. Kelly, please drop the hook
  Come on
