See I believe in money, power and respect
  First you get the money
  Then you get the motherf--kin' power
  And after you get the f--kin' power
  You get the f--kin' ni--az to respect you
  
  chorus (Lil' Kim)
  
  It's the key to life
  Money power respect
  That you need in life
  Money power respect
  You'll be eatin' right
  Money power respect
  You can sleep at night
  You'll see the light
  It's the key to life
  Money power respect
  That you need in life
  Money power respect
  You'll be eatin' right
  Money power respect
  Money power respect
  Money power respect
  
  Verse One: Sheek
  
  Aye yo my whole click bout it bout it
  We take yours while you pout about it
  Truck, step out the Horace wanna crowd around it
  You can see me on Optimum TV, or in the bathroom
  Turn the light out, scream!
  Bloody Mary, one two three
  Sheek ain't ya usual friend, but I can set you up like Kaiser
  Walk straight up the end, I'm done with ice and charms
  I'm tryin' to ice my whole caskit when I'm gone
  Pull up with class on the Don, once I meet 'em I greet 'em
  Kiss his feet for freedom, tell him thank you Lord
  Cause on Earth I was getttin' bored
  Now resurect me back to this cat called Sheek
  So I can make this album get back the cats that's weak
  230, 6'2", need funds from you that's like a cat versus a pitbull
  Gun, no flip for, keep hunger
  And plan for the future cause you figure you gon' be older
  When way longer then ya gon' be younger
  
  chorus (Lil' Kim)

  Verse Two: Styles
  
  (clock tickin') Only time can tell how the clock tick
  I really love here but I'm still a hostage
  Two personallities, check the posture
  Smoke out the mouth, clear out the nostrals
  Thinkin' death, the life seems scarey
  I'm passin' graveyards, seeing people Hail Mary
  I ain't chillin', till I'm out
  Parash you and race my man in mild climate
  Called out ten diamonds, twenty five thousand a peice
  F--k streets, tryin' to own the island forget about woulin'
  Tri ridin', in the car that be glidin'
  If I should you were I lived you would think I was hottest
  Sling dick to the chicks who that don't speak English
  Wake up to Trinidad, like f---in' I'm rich
  Come back, probably jet, live on set
  If you can sh-t go out and spit bragoits
  
  chorus (Lil' Kim overlaps last line)

  Verse Three: Jadakiss
  
  Yo yo yo yo yo nuttin' but the hotness, whenever we drop this
  Monotnis, for ya'll to keep hatin'
  Cause ya'll never gon' stop us, I keep my rocks spotless
  And my ho-s topless, take time try to figure out who The Lox is?
  Spare no one, keep rhymes like Shogun
  You scared to blow one, get robbed with your own guns
  If I don't respect you I'ma check you
  And if I don't kiss you I'm gon' peck you
  Right before I wet you, I sneeze on tracks and bless you
  I'm special, and if you like workin' out then I'm gon' strech you
  Hustilin' is dead but we still get red, turn the spots in the bakery
  To give back bread, and ya'll said my money spent
  But it's in the bed, so when the feds come the dogs can't get a scent
  And my story, self explainitory
  That I'm the hotess thing on the streets
  And ya'll ain't got nothing for me
  
  chorus (Lil' Kim)
  
  It's the key to life

  You'll see the light
  It's the key to life
  Money power respect
  That you need in life
  Money power respect
  You'll be eatin' right
  Money power respect
  Money power respect
  Money power respect
  
  Verse Four: DMX
  
  (arff! arff!) This is the beat that I can freak it
  Just drop the reals, plus the ni--a with the ill
  Ya'll ni--az know my skills, ask from the grills
  Get 'em up, spit 'em up
  Red 'em up, then watch them come
  Get 'em up, set 'em up
  Rather do dirt then get dirt, b--ch I make ya sh-t hurt
  Then step back, like I did work
  This ain't no fu--in' game, what'cha think I'm playin'
  Till you layin', so where the junkyard decayin'
  Moms at home prayin', till you comin' home but you not
  Just sittin' up in the trunk startin' to rot
  And Hell is hot, only cause I'm here now baby
  It's goin' down baby, peep the four pound baby
  And let off up in a n--a, specially if he think he bigga
  Then my motherfuckin' trigga, did I?
  Can I get mine, is it gone
  DMX representin' one time it's on
