Let's talk about money, raise or shine
We want a penthouse over the skyline
Gettin' lifted everyday with the herb on rewind
Girls in the front an' the men from behind
Go an' get a job, nuh badda with no crime
If you lookin' every day, it's not very hard to find
Working hard for money, everything takes time
To get a good job, you must start with a dime
Life funny, oh yes, the life funny
(It's so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money
(Life is so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny, oh yes, the life funny
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money
(Life is so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny, oh yes, the life funny
(It's so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money
(Life is so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny, oh yes, the life funny
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money, money
Life funny if you broke, but that ain't no joke
How do you cope when you're flat fuckin' broke?
Can't stand it
No no no no no
Can't take it
No no no no no

We wake up very early one Saturday
Run to di likka store to buy some Alizé
True you neva know dat everyt'ing is okay
Gather up all mi fren, an' we start it to play
Hip-hop, disco, an' also reggae
Everybody dem a jump an' bawl, "Hip-hip-hooray!"
People a laugh, havin' fun, because it's payday
You better save your money for a rainy day
Life funny, oh yes, the life funny
(It's so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money
(Life is so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny, oh yes, the life funny
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money
(Life is so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny, oh yes, the life funny

Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money
(Life is so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny, oh yes, the life funny
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money, money
Life funny if you're broke, but that ain't no joke
How do you cope when you're flat fuckin' broke?
Can't stand that
No no no no no
Can't take it
No no no no no

See your friends yesterday an' today
Some disappear, some have nuttin' to say
Because them have no money to go spend today
Feelin' sad, feelin' lonely, an' the rest run away
With the spoon to use, to eat from, yes, the other day
So keep a strong mind an' have a good day
You nuh borrow, you nuh lend, you have to save it anyway
Life funny, funny money, all over the USA
Life funny, oh yes, the life funny
(It's so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money
(Life is so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny, oh yes, the life funny
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money
(Life is so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny, oh yes, the life funny
(It's so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money
(Life is so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny, oh yes, the life funny
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money (money...)
We used to watch Benzes-es and Lexuses
Imaginin' I was behind the wheel
Catchin' mad sex appeal
Dead presidents open up common sense - pennies, if any
Hallucinatin' riches: mansions, picket fences
Chickenhead stress, triple-beam dreams
Let's talk about money
Funny how honeys never look, now they can't get shook
I wanna twist the cap - Moëts, forties bore me, subway bound
Talkin' 'bout money
Chauffeur-driven limousines
In fact, I sound daydreams
Lookin' at the sky
Red eyes, blunted, reminiscin'
I vision my sights: Lucci, Gucci
Watches, poppin' coochie
And all that other good stuff
You know my lifestyle, I keep it real
McDonald's meals, no deals, Big Macs, no fries
Tears in my eyes, realize
I recognize gold watches
Gettin' lifted, backstage, rage
Build these by green pages
I wake, I'm still asleep
My weak pockets, eye sockets stare at lit
Ain't life funny? (funny?...)
Life funny, oh yes, the life funny
(It's so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money
(Life is so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny, oh yes, the life funny
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money
(Life is so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny, oh yes, the life funny
(It's so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money
(Life is so funny)
Oh yes, the life funny, oh yes, the life funny
Oh yes, the life funny when you talkin' about money (money...)
