Lyrics Money Talks - Rick James

Money Talks

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 talkin'
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Money talk
Money, money
I say yeah
Money talk
Money, money
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Money talk
Money, money
I say yeah
Money talk
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
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Money talkin'
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Money talkin'
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh Yeah
Money talkin'
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Money, money

Bullshit walk
