Lyrics Ain't About the Money - Yazz , Empire Cast , Jussie Smollett

Waaaaaaaah
Waaaaaaaah

If you know like I know say
Ain't about the money
It's about the power (Say)
Ain't about the money
It's about the power (You know like I know say)
Ain't about the money
It's about the power (Say)
Ain't about the money
It's about the power

Think about it, think about it
Ain't no need to think about it
Get that money, keep that power
No, they not the same thing
Money can be anybody
This somebody, that nobody
When it comes to power
Circle, super small, and maintain

Money make 'em do it, 'cause of what you give to it
Power make 'em do it, 'cause you told 'em to do it
Money make you fly
Power never die, don't know why
Money can be lost
Power never need an alibi

Blood thicker than the champagne
Power in my pride, power in my last name

Said if I don't know nothin', I know this paper
Bigger than the world, steppin' over skyscrapers
If I don't know nothin', one thing I know
Power over money, man, that's just how it go

If you know like I know say
Ain't about the money
It's about the power (Say)
Ain't about the money
It's about the power (You know like I know say)
Ain't about the money
It's about the power (Say)
Ain't about the money
It's about the power

When I'm in your presence you can feel the power
Even if the company was built from powder
Girls, kissin' on the couch
Women in the shower
Surround myself with kings, you can keep the cowards
Everytime I reminisce, I'm reppin' different bitches
Blood is thicker than water, but BS is the thickest
Let the chain 'round my neck tell my life story
Born into the money, but would die for glory
Get ready for the takeover
That face lift and that makeover
That case that I break open
That Great Fifth like Beethoven
If you wanna get it poppin', I can be in the team
34 in a rocket, 'cause Hakeem's the dream
Get it?
(They don't get it)

Ooh, we're makin' moves
You're only doin' what my power let you do
You see that money isn't everybody thing
When it comes to power, can only be one king

Said if I don't (Aye) know nothin', I know this paper
Bigger than the world, steppin' over skyscrapers
If I don't know nothin', one thing I know
Power over money, man, that's just how it go

If you know like I know say
Ain't about the money
It's about the power (Say)
Ain't about the money
It's about the power (You know like I know say)
Ain't about the money
It's about the power (Say)
Ain't about the money
It's about the power
