Arab Money Lyrics

[Intro: Busta Rhymes]
Ron Browz, yes!
Oh, we back in the most amazin' way
Well, lemme introduce you to the new talk
Let's get straight to it
C'mon!

[Chorus: Ron Browz]
Shalai Lai Lai Halilili Hai Lo!
Hi Li Ba Lai Hey Hi Li Bai Lo!
We gettin' Arab money!
We gettin' Arab money!
Ha La Shiki Hai Lili Ba La!
Milli Ai Lai Shi Lili Ba La!
We gettin' Arab money!
We gettin' Arab money!

[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes]
Now, there ain't no way that you could kill the beast dead
I got Middle East women and Middle East bread
I got oil well money in the desert playing golf
Dolce shorts, dashiki with a Louie Scarf
Chest cold, diamonds make a nigga wanna cough
In Dubai, 20 million on the villa loft
And then I step up in the club and then these other niggas mad as shit
The way I make the people wanna sing the hook in Arabic!

[Chorus: Ron Browz]
Shalai Lai Lai Halilili Hai Lo!
Hi Li Ba Lai Hey Hi Li Bai Lo!
We gettin' Arab money!
We gettin' Arab money!
Ha La Shiki Hai Lili Ba La!
Milli Ai Lai Shi Lili Ba La!
We gettin' Arab money!
We gettin' Arab money!

[Verse 2: Busta Rhymes]
Seven star hotels, Maybach, movie sick
Big bitches, knock-kneed camel-toed groupie shit
Women walk around while security on camelback
Club on fire now, niggas don't know how to act
Sittin' in casinos while I'm gamblin' with Arafat
Money long, watch me purchase pieces of the Almanac
Y'all already know, I got the streets buzzin'
While I make you bow down and make Salaat like a Muslim

[Chorus: Ron Browz]
Shalai Lai Lai Halilili Hai Lo!
Hi Li Ba Lai Hey Hi Li Bai Lo!
We gettin' Arab money!
We gettin' Arab money!
Ha La Shiki Hai Lili Ba La!
Milli Ai Lai Shi Lili Ba La!
We gettin' Arab money!
We gettin' Arab money!

[Verse 3: Busta Rhymes]
See, now I take trips to Baghdad dummy
While I use stacked chips and count Arab money now
I don't need to get fresh, about to grow a beard duke
So much cake even the money look weird too
Domestic bread, and I'm broad, I'm tryna eat right
Prince Alwali, Bin Talal, Al Saul
They respect the value of my worth in Maui, Malaysia
Iran and Iraq, Saudi Arabia!

[Chorus: Ron Browz]
Shalai Lai Lai Halilili Hai Lo!
Hi Li Ba Lai Hey Hi Li Bai Lo!
We gettin' Arab money!
We gettin' Arab money!
Ha La Shiki Hai Lili Ba La!
Milli Ai Lai Shi Lili Ba La!
We gettin' Arab money!
We gettin' Arab money!

Well, my opinion is that it is not disrespectful because T-pain and Akon are both muslim..

My Opinion

just because someone says they are muslim, it doesn't mean they are. And its not like they are practising muslims, they are just saying that to get away with this song.

Not Valid

they are muslims and they agree to appear in the song, surely that shows its not actually offensive to them

Not Valid

I just wanna point out that hating musilms are not racist...it's stupid, but it's not racist. If you hate arabic people or people from the middleeast, then thats racist. Anyway, first i thought this song was a critique of religion and wealth, and how that interact with eachother, mainly because he said something about he didn't need to grow a beard...but after reading the lyrics I can see im probably way off.

This song is very offensive to me, it was rasict and very disrespectful .. I was left in a state of shock upon hearing it at first not sure whether it was real or a joke. It is a very ignorant song sung by a bunch of ignorant artists, people (half of which claim to be "muslims") who dont understand anything about the arabic and islamic world and culture.

This song stereotypes muslims and arabs in a very negative light and should be banned. The remix is even more offensive as it uses words from the Holy Quran in the chorus, which is blasphemous as the words are sacred.

I don't really understand what his target audience is or if he just wants the attention.

It would be really pathetic if he was just doing this for the publicity and even more so if he actually believes in the things he's rapping about because it would prove how ignorant and closed minded of a person he really is.

My Opinion

First off the song is not about Busta Rhymes wanting to steal the Arab money or anything to that affect. He is basically saying he wants to be rich like the Arabs. One of the richest people in this world is a Arab that's all he is trying to say. If it weren't for people trying to alway's make accusations about what rappers are trying to rap about this world be be a better place.

Not Valid

even if the song is offensive you can't ban it. banning music is censoring thier voices which is wrong no matter how ignorant or stupid thier view is

Not Valid

That is the lamest, sorriest excuse for putting down Arabs. It should be banned. It;s not even a song! They're just making people who don't know anything about us more ignorant! It's a very ignorant view and I don't care about censoring their voices. Their voices suck. The world would be a better place without them. And if it's just about being rich like an Arab, say that. Don't undermine good people without even knowing who they are and make it as if all muslims act like non-practising "muslim" rappers.
