Cake
50 Cent Lloyd Banks Lyrics

Money, money, money, money
Repetition of the importance of money

Cake
Referring to money as cake

I need the cake nigga
Expression of desire for money

The Unit don't play, we rap but we strapped
The group is serious and armed

Buck got the shotgun, 50 got the mack
Each member of the group has a specific weapon

Spida got the sweeper and you bound to hear it clap
Spida has a powerful gun that makes a loud noise

You won't have another birthday cake afta that
Warning that violence will occur and there won't be another celebration

Cause Yayo got a temper and he don't know how to act
Yayo has a bad temper and can be unpredictable

I've been gone all winter but now a nigga back
The singer has been gone for a while but is now back

And you mutha fuckas lookin' like steak
Other people look like easy targets for the group to take advantage of

Food on the plate for the wolves, follow wolves
The group will take what they want and others should follow their lead

Don't get moved by the tools
Don't be afraid of the group's weapons

Blood will ooze on ya shoes wait, control ya hate
Violence will occur but don't let emotions control your actions

You ain't ridin' in dem 6s
You don't have nice cars because you spend all your money on women

Cause you spendin' all ya cake on dem bitches
Explanation of why you don't have nice cars

I need the bread lil' niggas need Christmas
The singer needs money and others also have desires they need money for

Banks don't rap wit a back pack
Banks doesn't carry unnecessary items while rapping

You heard Banks said so I know I got the mack
Banks has a powerful weapon

I pull up, pull out spray hollows at your back
A violent and aggressive action

I done been through every hood, dead niggas gone rap
The singer has seen and experienced a lot

In the heart of a victim murda is monumental
Murder is a monumental event for those involved

I don't complicate shit, yeah I keep it simple
The singer doesn't overthink things and keeps it simple

My bullet wounds will tell you a story 'bout wut I been through
The singer has scars and wounds from violence they have encountered

Southside trama drama wit' gallamas
Violent and dramatic events happen in the southside area

I conversate wit' killas, it's usually about life
The singer associates with violent individuals and they talk about life

Politicate wit' lawness, it's usually 'bout white
The singer speaks with law enforcement about drugs

I'm da poster child of violence, I'm the boy on the poster
The singer is known for their violent behavior

When the shots start to rang out I'm the boy wit' the toaster
The singer has a gun and responds to violence with violence

Yeah, listen up clicko, I hustle I get though
The singer is determined to succeed with their hustle

You fuckin' wit a sicko, I spazz let a clip go
The singer is willing to use their weapon aggressively and unpredictably

Cannon out da rental, beam to ya temple
The singer uses a powerful gun that can cause severe damage

I squeeze blow your mental, all ova ya friends
The singer's actions will impact others around the victim

Me I'm from the street, where nothin' sweet
The singer is from a tough neighborhood

The home of the hommies, there's a body every week
People from the neighborhood die often

Now I don't hear the sirens but they prolly gonna creep
The singer is aware that the police are watching and could come at any time

Plottin' to pull me ova, put the cake in my jeep
The police are trying to catch the singer with their money

So I'll be skippin' cities seven states in aweek
To avoid the police, the singer will travel a lot

Can't a mutha fuckin' breathin' tell me I can't eat
The singer is determined to make money regardless of anyone else's opinions

Show me the money, the money
Repetition of the importance of money

Niggas slow down, pump ya breaks
Advice to others to slow down and be careful

No mistakes cause the jakes, run the plates
Be careful not to make mistakes because the police are watching

Then you headed up state for rollin' 'round wit' a steak
If you get caught with a weapon, you will go to prison

Niggas start up the beef and run straight to the cops
People start arguments and then immediately report them to the police

You a bitch ass nigga, the cupcake of the block
Insult to someone who isn't tough

Any nigga disrespect the click gettin' shot
Anyone who disrespects the group will experience violence

'Round here niggas get found upside down
Violence is common and deadly

Ova the money, the money
Repetition of the importance of money

The money, the money, the cake
Repetition of referring to money as cake

Cake
Referring to money as cake

Money, money, money, money
Repetition of the importance of money
