Gimme shmoney, gimme, gimme shmoney
Gimme shmoney, gimme, gimme shmoney
Yeah, it's what a girl like
Yeah, it's what a girl like
I don't want ya man, I just want the shmoney
I don't want ya man, I just want the shmoney
That's what a girl like

Gimme money, all I want is money
I'm Cardi B, all I know is shmoney shmoney
Beat ya bitch, if it's not green then back up off me
Fuck it send em' EBTs, food stamps, this shit not funny
I'm here for money and I'm 'bout to put in work
Yellow Man, nobody move, nobody get hurt
It's just to the paper
Fuck it, man I got a cake up
Niggas spend all this money, you saved up
Throw it all in his face like it's make-up
Yeah nigga, straight up

Gimme shmoney, gimme gimme shmoney

I don't want ya man, hoe, I just want the money
Why don't you understand, hoe, please don't be a dummy
His name not Benjamin, he can't do nothing for me
It's all about a check and plus that nigga ugly
He like my setup, how I dress up, so I guess it's head up
He spend that cheddar, mozzarella, yeah he fuck that check up
I tell him step up, put that bread up, don't you hesitate
I have the goons at your door like, "Hello, what's in the safe?"

Gimme shmoney, gimme gimme shmoney
Gimme shmoney, gimme gimme shmoney
Yeah, it's what a girl like
Yeah, it's what a girl like
I don't want ya man, I just want the shmoney
I don't want ya man, I just want the shmoney




That's what a girl like
