Ain't About The Money (feat. Jussie Smollett and Yazz) - Empire Cast

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 (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

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 them to do it

Money make you fly, power never die, don't know why

Money can't 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 nothing, I know this paper

Bigger than the world stepping over skyscrappers

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 (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

When I'm in your presence you can feel the power

Even if this 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, lip 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

Thirty-four, in a, rocket cause Hakeem's the dream

(Get it? They don't get it)

Oooh, we're makin' moves

You want me doing what my power let you do

You see that money isn't everybody's thing

When it comes to power, can only be one king

Said if I don't know nothing, I know this paper

Bigger than the world stepping over skyscrappers

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 (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
