Money Talks - Rick James

When you’re out walkin'

And money’s talkin'

Just stop and listen

To what’s it’s sayin'

Don’t need a dollar

To be a scholar

Drop all your money

And don’t you holler

Where do all the cash

And the dough

And those greenback dollars go?

Money’s walkin', the money’s walkin'

People need to eat

To put shoes

On their little baby’s feet

That’s money talkin', yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

Oh yeah

Money talkin'

Yeah yeah yeah

Oh yeah

Ronnie ran for President

Because he wants to control

Where the money’s spent

What about the poor and destitute?

Well, they don’t matter

They do not compute

What about the blacks

And the whites

And the reds are so uptight

'Cause money’s walkin', the money’s walkin'

Taxes rising high

'Til my cup

Is so empty I could cry

Money’s talkin', yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

Oh yeah

Money, money

Money talkin' loud and clear

In my ear

She works the corner

Of 12th and Vine

Making her tax free money

Pinching every dime

She has to hustle

To make ends meet

Even a workin' lady

Finds it hard to eat

What will be the deal

In the end

If to live we’ve got to steal?

'Cause the money’s walkin', money’s walkin'

Ronnie find the cure

This is just too much for us to endure

That’s Ricky talkin', yeah
