Back to the Money
B.G. & Magnolia Chop Lyrics

I apologize to the streets, my bad (my bad)
Sorry for being away from the streets for so long

For taking so long
Apologizing for being away from the streets for an extended period

You know I don't do it like that
My approach to the money is unique

Real niggas understand (uh)
People in the know understand my methods

Now let's get back to it (too hood to be Hollywood)
It's time to focus on making money again, not interested in Hollywood

Let's get this money uh uh uh
We need to put our energy and focus into making money

It's back to the money (money), back to the block (block)
Returning to the roots and the streets to make money

Back on the charts (charts), straight to the top (top)
Ready to climb to the top of the music charts again

Me I'm a hustla I can't stop won't stop
I'm a hustler and won't stop until I achieve my goals

If I ain't on the route I'm in the one stop shop (yeah)
If I'm not out hustling, I'm working to make money in other ways

Everywhere I go they ask me 'Geezy where ya been?'
People are curious about where I've been and why I haven't been making as much money

You ain't been looking hard enough I tell em look again (look again)
People haven't been searching deeply enough to find me, suggesting that I'm still in the game

I hit the sit back, clock plan strategize
I take time to relax, plan, and strategize how to make more money

I look in the mirror and all I see is dollar signs (signs)
My focus is on making money; it's all I see and think about

I can't lie, I had started to feel the recession
The economic downturn affected my ability to make money

I signed my deal but I really wasn't feeling progression
Signing a contract didn't lead to much career growth, and I was disappointed

But I'm a go getta, by all means I'm a get it
I'm determined to make money and will stop at nothing to achieve my goal

I'm a executer if I started then I'm a finish
If I start something, I'll see it through to completion

No bullshit, no frontin' no stunnin' (stunnin)
No lies, no pretending, and no showing off

All on my money is getting back to the money (money)
All the money I make is going back into making more money

Back to the cheese (cheese) back to the cheddar (cheddar)
Returning to making and accumulating money

Back to the green (green) and for that it's whatever (whatever)
Returning to making money, no matter what it takes

Know when you on the hustle (hustle) nigga it's no sleep (sleep)
When you're hustling to make money, there's no rest

You know when you on the grind ya gets no seeds (no seeds)
When you're trying to make money, there's no room for failure or making mistakes

It's all work no play with the young thug
A young hustler must be focused entirely on making money

I bust a snitch that I lost my number one thug (fuck em)
I cut ties with someone who betrayed me and was once my top confidant

But I ain't trippin' cause I keep a line on that yay (yay)
I'm not worried because I have a source for drugs to sell to make money

And everyday it's all work and no play (play)
Every day is spent working to make money, with no time for leisure

I been on the low (low) I been in the cut (cut)
I've been staying out of the spotlight, lying low, and keeping to myself

But if you really know me you know I been on one
If you really know me, you know that I'm always hustling to make money

Yeah, it's back to the streets (streets) back to the block (block)
Returning to the place where I've made money before

Back to the same spot where I made it hot (hah hah)
Going back to a location where I once made a lot of money and was very successful

Back to VL, where I sold my first rock (rock)
Returning to VL, the place where I started selling drugs and making money

And it's uptown where I bust my first glock (blah, blah)
Returning to the area where I fired my first gun in criminal activity

I'm a real nigga and that's everything you not (not)
I'm authentic and true to myself, something that most people are not

I like to have things so I got everything you ain't got (got)
I like to have material possessions, so I have things that most people don't

Disrespecting me in mind, you goin get shot
If someone disrespects me, I'll respond with violence

I got a firehead looking down to the top
I'm ambitious and driven, always looking to reach the top no matter what
