Intro: Lil' Kim



See I believe in money, power and respect

First you the money

Then you get the motherf--kin' power

And after you get the f--kin' power

You get the f--kin' ni--az to respect you



chorus (Lil' Kim)



It's the key to life

Money power respect

That you need in life

Money power respect

You'll be eatin' right

Money power respect

You can sleep at night

You'll see the light

It's the key to life

Money power respect

That you need in life

Money power respect

You'll be eatin' right

Money power respect

Money power respect

Money power respect



Verse One: Sheek



Aye yo my whole click bout it bout it

We take yours while you pout about it

Truck, step out the Horace wanna crowd around it

You can see me on Optimum TV, or in the bathroom

Turn the light out, scream!

Bloody Mary, one two three

Sheek ain't ya usual friend, but I can set you up like Kaiser

Walk straight up the end, I'm done with ice and charms

I'm tryin' to ice my whole caskit when I'm gone

Pull up with class on the Don, once I meet 'em I greet 'em

Kiss his feet for freedom, tell him thank you Lord

Cause on Earth I was getttin' bored

Now resurect me back to this cat called Sheek

So I can make this album get back the cats that's weak

230, 6'2", need funds from you that's like a cat versus a pitbull

Gun, no flip for, keep hunger

And plan for the future cause you figure you gon' be older

When way longer then ya gon' be younger



chorus (Lil' Kim)

Verse Two: Styles



(clock tickin') Only time can tell how the clock tick

I really love here but I'm still a hostage

Two personallities, check the posture

Smoke out the mouth, clear out the nostrals

Thinkin' death, the life seems scarey

I'm passin' graveyards, seeing people Hail Mary

I ain't chillin', till I'm out

Parash you and race my man in mild climate

Called out ten diamonds, twenty five thousand a peice

F--k streets, tryin' to own the island forget about woulin'

Tri ridin', in the car that be glidin'

If I should you were I lived you would think I was hottest

Sling dick to the chicks who that don't speak English

Wake up to Trinidad, like f---in' I'm rich

Come back, probably jet, live on set

If you can sh-t go out and spit bragoits



chorus (Lil' Kim overlaps last line)

Verse Three: Jadakiss



Yo yo yo yo yo nuttin' but the hotness, whenever we drop this

Monotnis, for ya'll to keep hatin'

Cause ya'll never gon' stop us, I keep my rocks spotless

And my ho-s topless, take time try to figure out who The Lox is?

Spare no one, keep rhymes like Shogun

You scared to blow one, get robbed with your own guns

If I don't respect you I'ma check you

And if I don't kiss you I'm gon' peck you

Right before I wet you, I sneeze on tracks and bless you

I'm special, and if you like workin' out then I'm gon' strech you

Hustilin' is dead but we still get red, turn the spots in the bakery

To give back bread, and ya'll said my money spent

But it's in the bed, so when the feds come the dogs can't get a scent

And my story, self explainitory

That I'm the hotess thing on the streets

And ya'll ain't got nothing for me



chorus (Lil' Kim)



It's the key to life

Money power respect

You'll be eatin' right

Money power respect

You can sleep at night

You'll see the light

It's the key to life

Verse Four: DMX



(arff! arff!) This is the beat that I can freak it

Just drop the reals, plus the ni--a with the ill

Ya'll ni--az know my skills, ask from the grills

Get 'em up, spit 'em up

Red 'em up, then watch them come

Get 'em up, set 'em up

Rather do dirt then get dirt, b--ch I make ya sh-t hurt

Then step back, like I did work

This ain't no fu--in' game, what'cha think I'm playin'

Till you layin', so where the junkyard decayin'

Moms at home prayin', till you comin' home but you not

Just sittin' up in the trunk startin' to rot

And Hell is hot, only cause I'm here now baby

It's goin' down baby, peep the four pound baby

And let off up in a n--a, specially if he think he bigga

Then my motherfuckin' trigga, did I?

Can I get mine, is it gone

DMX representin' one time it's on
