Back to the Money
B.G. Birdman Lil Wayne & Magnolia Chop Lyrics

I apologize to the streets, my bad (my bad)
I am sorry to the streets for taking so long, I shouldn't have done that.

For taking so long
It took me longer than expected to return to the streets and get back to making money.

You know I don't do it like that
I don't do it the way some others might, I have my own way of doing things.

Real niggas understand (uh)
People who are true to themselves and understand the streets will get where I am coming from.

Now let's get back to it (too hood to be Hollywood)
Let's stop wasting time and get back to making money in the streets. We are not interested in the fake allure of Hollywood, we are authentic to the streets.

Let's get this money uh uh uh
Let's make some money and work hard to achieve our goals.

It's back to the money (money), back to the block (block)
We are going back to the streets where we can make money, going back to selling drugs and being part of the underground economy.

Back on the charts (charts), straight to the top (top)
We are going to make our music successful and get the recognition we deserve, we're not afraid to reach the top.

Me I'm a hustla I can't stop won't stop
I am an entrepreneur and I can't stop hustling, my work ethic won't let me stop.

If I ain't on the route I'm in the one stop shop (yeah)
If I'm not dealing drugs on the street, I'm in a one-stop-shop illicit business to make money.

Everywhere I go they ask me 'Geezy where ya been?'
People are curious about where I've been, since I've been away from the streets for a while.

You ain't been looking hard enough I tell em look again (look again)
People haven't been looking in the right places to find me, they need to look much harder.

I hit the sit back, clock plan strategize
I take some time to think, make plans, and strategize how to make more money.

I look in the mirror and all I see is dollar signs (signs)
When I look at myself, I am driven by the desire to make more money and all I can see is dollar signs.

I can't lie, I had started to feel the recession
I have been affected by the economic downturn, sometimes it's been hard to make money.

I signed my deal but I really wasn't feeling progression
I signed a deal but I wasn't making the kind of progress I wanted to and wasn't happy with the outcome.

But I'm a go getta, by all means I'm a get it
But I am not one to rest on my laurels, I will make it happen no matter what it takes.

I'm a executer if I started then I'm a finish
I see things through to completion, I don't stop halfway through.

No bullshit, no frontin' no stunnin' (stunnin
I am not trying to deceive anyone, I am not showing off or attracting attention unnecessarily.

All on my money is getting back to the money (money)
The money I make now is all going back towards making more money in the future.

Back to the cheese (cheese) back to the cheddar (cheddar)
Going back to making money, getting more cash.

Back to the green (green) and for that it's whatever (whatever)
Going back to making money, getting more cash - whatever it takes to do it is fine with me.

Know when you on the hustle (hustle) nigga it's no sleep (sleep)
When you are hustling, you cannot sleep as much, you must stay up late and work hard to achieve success.

You know when you on the grind ya gets no seeds (no seeds)
When you are working hard, you have no time for leisure activities, you can't afford to waste time.

It's all work no play with the young thug
As a young person involved in the underground economy, it's all work, no play.

But I ain't trippin' cause I keep a line on that yay (yay)
I'm not worried because I have a good connection to a drug supplier.

And everyday it's all work and no play (play)
Every day, I'm working hard and not having any fun or relaxation time.

I been on the low (low) I been in the cut (cut)
I've been staying behind the scenes quietly, trying to make money without attracting attention.

But if you really know me you know I been on one
If you know me well, you know I have been working hard and pushing myself to make more money.

Yeah, it's back to the streets (streets) back to the block (block)
We are going back to the streets and the blocks where the real money is made through illegal activities.

Back to the same spot where I made it hot (hah hah)
I'm going back to where I first made a name for myself, and where there is the most opportunity for making money.

Back to VL, where I sold my first rock (rock)
I'm going back to the original location where I sold my first illegal drugs.

And it's uptown where I bust my first glock (blah, blah)
It's in the uptown area where I first used a gun to protect myself and my business interests.

I'm a real nigga and that's everything you not (not)
I am genuine and authentic to the streets and the underground economy, unlike many others who pretend to be involved.

I like to have things so I got everything you ain't got (got)
I am motivated by the desire to acquire material things that I don't currently have, which drives me to make more money.

Disrespecting me in mind, you goin get shot
If you disrespect me or my business, you will suffer serious consequences, potentially even violent ones.

I got a firehead looking down to the top
I am determined and focused on achieving success and making more money, and nothing will distract me from that goal.
