If I was a wealthy girl, (step off!)
No man could test me, impress

You can taste this wealthy girl
What kind of rich gets a million rich?
Them a kinda rich where ya make mon switch
What kind of rich get a million rich?
Them a kind of rich where ya make mon sick
And if me rich
Would I take a mon offa the streets
And if me rich, would I build up a school and teach in a-it
And if me rich, tings would I run neatly
And if me rich, could I live all my life properly
Say if I was a rich girl, na na na na na, na na na na na nah (ya hear?)
Say I'd have all the diamonds and the pearls
If I was a wealthy girl

Money money, money can't buy love
Money can buy you a cab to drive in
Money can buy you a house to live in

Reap you reap but you never did sow
Rich today you could be poor tomorrow
Mind your back and watch your enemies grow
Money, it is nice but can lead to sorrow

The song "Rich Girl" by Michie One and Louchie Lou is an anthem for every girl who dreams of being wealthy, having all the money in the world, and never worrying about anything ever again. The song is about how if they were rich, no man could test, impress, reject or reselect them. They would also be able to taste the life of a wealthy girl, which includes having all the diamonds and pearls they could ever want. If they were rich, they would be able to gamble and play the horsies without ever losing, and they could also build schools, run things neatly and live their lives properly.
The song's chorus is very catchy and has a worldwide appeal. It talks about how the rich seem to be getting richer while the poor get stink, highlighting the unfairness of wealth distribution in society. It says that while money can buy a lot of things, it cannot buy love, and it is always important to mind your back and watch your enemies grow.
Overall, the song talks about how being wealthy could make life so much easier, but at the same time, it warns that money shouldn't be the most important thing in life, and it is always important to remain grounded and true to oneself.

I feel betrayed that I was given the Gwen Stefani version growing up and I only found this like last week 🤦🏽♀️ so good ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Dr.Mega_Music
Good that you are doing your research, some people just settle to the trending songs or whatever the platforms are showing them
@DanielRoberts-vn6ox
This version is superior in every way! I remember when the Gwen Stefani version came out I was super disappointed there was no callback to this.
@skemezpopov
Welcome to the right one

The original version (If I was a rich man) is even better in my opinion.

If you're from the Carribean you got to appreciate the music from the islands. This music was popular in Puerto Rico & Puerto Rico appreciates reggae/dancehall music. Carribean Connection!
