Butterfly, I can't deny 
You've been floating all through my mind 
With a lil time, you & I 
Can set the world on fi-yiy-ire 

But you tell me that your time is money 
So I gotta make it do what it do 
But when you got the power, why work for the dollar 
When the dollar can work for you? 

Money ain't gotta thang on me 
Ain't gotta thang on me oh no no no! 

Brother man, I know that I can 
Make a hundred grand workin for the other man 
But I understand, when it's time to switch 
Cause makin money don't make you rich 
When you're stretched out, all stressed out 
Knowin somethin ain't right, and you're left out 
Can't let that 9-5, put a seatbelt on my mind 

When the tell you that your time is money 
So you gotta make it do what it do 
But when you got the power, why work for the dollar 
Whe the dollar can work for you? 

Money ain't gotta thang on me 
Ain't gotta thang on me oh no no no! 

For the dolla, put your heart on a collar, say: no no no! 
No no no! 
For the green, givin up on your dream, say: no no no! 
No no no! 
You're getting paid, but your souls a slave, say: no no nooo! 
No no nooooo! 
Baby I got too much drive, to put a seatbelt on my mind 

But you tell me that your time is money 
So I gotta make it do what it do 
But when you got the power, why work for the dollar 
When the dollar can work for you? 

Money ain't gotta thang on me 
Ain't gotta thang on me oh no no no!
