Ask for money, and get advice
Ask for advice, get money twice
I'm from the Dirty, but that chico nice
Y'all call it a moment, I call it life

One day when the light is glowing
I’ll be in my castle golden
But until the gates are open
I just wanna feel this moment (oh)

I just wanna feel this moment (oh)

I just wanna feel this moment

Mr Worldwide
Christina Aguilera
Oye mamita, come on, dale, que la cosa esta rica

(I wanna feel this moment)

Feel this moment

Reporting live, from the tallest building in Tokyo
Long ways from them hard ways
Bill sos, and oh yeas
Dade County, always, 305 all day
Now baby we can parle, oh baby we can party
She read books, especially about red rooms and tie ups
I got her hooked, 'cause she seen me in a suit with the red tie tied up
Meet and greet, nice to meet ya, but time is money
Only difference is I own it, now let's stop time and enjoy this moment

One day when the light is glowing
I’ll be in my castle golden
But until the gates are open
I just wanna feel this moment (oh)

I just wanna feel this moment (oh)

I just wanna feel this moment

Feel this moment

I see the future but live for the moment, make sense don't it
Now make dollars, I mean billions, I'm a genius, I mean brilliant
The streets is what schooled 'em
And made 'em slicker than Slick Rick the Ruler
I've lost a lot, and learned a lot
But I'm still undefeated like Shooter
I'm far from cheap, I break down companies with all my peeps
Baby we can travel the world
And I can give you an all you can see
Time is money
Only difference is I own it, like a stop watch, let's stop time and enjoy this moment

One day when the light is glowing
I’ll be in my castle golden
But until the gates are open
I just wanna feel this moment (oh)

I just wanna feel this moment (oh)

I just wanna feel this moment

Come one, feel this moment

(Oh) I just wanna feel this moment
(Oh) I just wanna feel this moment
