Lyrics:

Rent to the landlord baby
that's his business, that's his business, that's his business
Rent to the landlord baby
that's his business, that's his business, that's his business
Papa used to tell me it was, the electric, the electric, the electric
Momma used to tell me it was so expensive, its expensive just to live...

Ahhhhh ahhhh, and the money's always gone
Ahhhhh ahhhh, poppa workin so hard just to get paid

(chorus)
We make money, make money, to spend,
people want, people need, cause it never ends, now baby...
It takes money, takes money my friend,
people need, people want, cause it never ends...

I slip to the bottom of my empty pocket, empty pocket, empty pocket
Slip to the bottom of my empty pocket, empty pocket, empty pocket

Overdrawn again baby, insufficient, insufficient, insufficient
How many more times must i sing this song?? ohhhhh...

Ahhhhh ahhhh, and the money's always gone
Ahhhhh ahhhh, momma workin so hard just to get paid

(chorus)
We make money, make money, to spend,
people want, people need, cause it never ends, now baby...
It takes money, takes money, my friend,
people need, people want, because it never ends...

(Interlude)

Momma used to tell me it was, be electric, be electric boy, be electric
Rent to the landlord baby
that's his business, that's his business, that's his business
How could I ever thank you my girl?

Ahhhhh ahhhh, when the money's always gone
Ahhhhh ahhhh, now I'm workin so hard just to get paid

(chorus)
We make money, make money, to spend,
people want, people need, cause it never ends, now baby
It takes money, takes money, to spend,
people need, people want, because it never ends yeah

It takes money, as everyone knows
Here it comes, there it goes
Here it comes, there it goes
It takes money, as everyone knows
Cost is high, pay is low
Cost is high, pay is low

Momma workin so hard just to get me by
How could i ever thank you, my girl...
