Money never bought me love

Money oh money oh money oh money

T-t-t-t-this is Seeed, y'all! Yeah!

Big house, man I'm rich

Big belly, money for life

Spend it all, shop for anything

Yes, I admit it, money sets you free

Come with me, I got money with me

Come, I'll pay for your beer, I got money for two

Between you and me, a different vibe

99 problems, but money ain't one

(Big money) Buying love, hey money for Thais

Buying peace, giving money to the enemy

Tower in the desert, money Dubai

Bon Appetit! Frank Ribéry, golden calf

Who scrubs the bathroom, money is time

Fifty Cent, money on the mic (I got the money)

Fifty cent, money for booze

Third Advent, I feel sorry for them

Bread for the world, money for rice (big money)

Lottery king, man is rich (ah king king)

Everything sunk, money bye bye

The woman moves in with Willi, man alone

Hairdryer in the tub, over and out

Thyssenkrupp, money is old

Robin Hood, money in the forest

If someone distributes the money more fairly

He gets punched in the face, the money is mine

Money oh money oh money oh money

Yeah, I make money in my sleep

Money oh money oh money oh money

But money can't buy me love

Money oh money oh money oh money

Yeah, I make money in my sleep

Money oh money oh money oh money

But money can't buy me love

I wander through all your hands, baby come dance with me

I gladly let myself be wasted, will never lose my shine

I wander through all your hands, baby come dance with me

I'm your money oh money oh money, don't be afraid of me

Money oh money oh money oh money

Money oh money oh money oh money

Money can't buy me love

Key Grammar Structures

• Dickes Haus, Mann ich bin reich

  ➔ Adjective agreement in nominative case (masculine/neuter)

  ➔ "Dickes" (fat) agrees with "Haus" (house), which is neuter. In German, adjectives before nouns must agree in case, gender, and number.

• Ja ich geb es zu, money macht frei

  ➔ Infinitive without "zu" after modal-like verb "machen"

  ➔ "Macht frei" literally translates to "makes free," but it means "sets free." "Machen" often takes an infinitive without "zu" when expressing causation or effect.

• 99 Probleme, aber money is keins

  ➔ Use of "kein" as a negated pronoun

  ➔ "Keins" is the neuter form of "kein" used as a pronoun, meaning "none" or "not one". It refers back to "Probleme" (problems), implying money is not one of the problems.

• Komm ich zahl dein Bier, hab money für zwei

  ➔ Dative Case - "dein Bier"

  ➔ "Dein Bier" (your beer) is in the accusative case here, as it is the direct object of the verb "zahl" (pay).

• Kids kaufen für money nur Scheiss

  ➔ Word order with adverb 'nur'

  ➔ The adverb "nur" (only) usually comes directly before the element it modifies. Here, it modifies "Scheiss", meaning they only buy crap.

• Alles versenkt, money bye bye

  ➔ Participle II as adjective

  ➔ "Versenkt" is the Past Participle of the verb "versenken" (to sink, to submerge). Here it functions as an adjective, describing the implied subject (everything). Meaning: "Everything is sunk/submerged."

• Ich wander durch all eure Hände, Baby komm tanz mit mir

  ➔ Separable Verb "mit tanzen"

  ➔ "Tanz mit mir" is the imperative form of the separable verb "mittanzen" (to dance with). The prefix "mit-" is separated and placed at the end of the sentence.
