[Verse 1]
Listen boy, I'll tell you a thing
I'll make you a career in the business I'm in
I'll make you rich, I'll make you a toy
I'll make you turn over into my little boy
You see I'm going somewhere
I don't know what I'm gonna do when I get there
You know money's a thing
Your only inspiration and your only meaning
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
You can fall when I will climb
But I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind
[Chorus]
Mend that fight (Oh listen to them)
Kickin' up a ball inside a Jericho wall
Mend that fight (Oh it's all twisted through them)
If you ain't rich then you won't go to the ball
[Verse 2]
Having mercy and licking up love
And moving through your ocean like I've never had enough
You see you ain't all I want
You're everything and more that I have ever hoped for
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
You can fall when I will climb
But I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind
[Chorus]
Mend that fight (Oh listen to them)
Kickin' up a ball inside a Jericho wall
Mend that fight (Oh twisted through them)
If you ain't rich then you won't go to the ball
[Post-Chorus] X2
You won't go to the ball
You won't go to the ball
You won't go, you won't go
You won't go to the ball
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
You can fall when I will climb
But I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind
[Chorus]
Mend that fight (Oh listen to them)
Kickin' up a ball outside a No.10 wall
Mend that fight (Oh twisted through them)
I'm rich, you ain't, so you won't go to the ball
No more!
[Post-Chorus] X3
You won't go to the ball
You won't go to the ball
You won't go, you won't go
You won't go to the ball
[Outro]
Yeah, if you ain't got nothing
You'll never go there
(Repeat)
I tried to make you see
I tell you, I'd had enough
Money was a thing, money was a thing
Money was a thing that I believed in
(Repeat)
