Cash Money Millionaires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Comin through, bumpin' screw, blowin' sweet red hair
Dickey's slippin' I ain't trippin it's a family affair
If ya click ain't brandin' then ya click ain't shit
Cause ya got deep investments in the girl called crack
And ya pimp her and ya pipe her and she pay fo' yo Lac
Fool, you make a lot of money but cha' talk too much
Countin' chickens that ain't there'll get cha' caught in a fuss
Makin' false accusations, fake boot in yo mug
Niggas trippin on that click'll take yo life and yo drugs
Cause out here ain't no love, just Miller's and killers
And some trilla life ass niggas, pimpin' hoes like gorillas
Niggas in Caddys say scrilla but to me it's just ends
I'd rather roll 96' Lac than a 83' Benz
If you got murderers in yo family put cho' blunt in the air
Flippin' and dippin' me and yo chicken, it's a family affair
[Hook: Pimp C]
Candy paint, sweetsa dank, it's a family affair
Candy paint, sweetsa dank, it's a family affair

[Bun B]
Go down to Texas, represented by long lines and G's
Where niggas'll fuck you out cho' money, yo mind, yo keys
From the days of Pugh boys, tries and Mickey D's fight
The fact that be's was tight, we be on Sunday night
We had the first family, see and Mr. Chris Brown
My niggas DJ and Leroy was puttin' shit down
My DJ burns vocals, Ski-Daddy and Big Midge
J.B. and Big Boy one crazy son of a bitch
Y.G.'s, Lil' Daze, Rat Raw, and Ty B. and the rest
The Lou is man or posse, someone pulled off his vest
And carve up, Torettes known as the Jets and Prince How
Westside got that way and that power will dismiss y'all
BJ, Savanah, 5-0-3, A-Street and many more
Reventual and Beverly's is full of fools with plenty heart
And middle Main, Jefferson, Rappart longs in ya face
With Swisha Sweet Houses all over the place
Cause it's a family affair
[Hook]
[Bun B]
Hold up, gots to holla at the playas from my city
Real, trill ballers makin' half hustlers look shitty
Talkin' bout lend a brown kiddy trailin' scratch
That chicken coupe, with a flock of birds ready to hatch
Lil' Earl, Big Boy fool and Percy blankin' our brew
Lil' Block, O.B., Squeak can't forget about you
B.J., Kiyay, Spoon-Guy we been down here long
Lil' Lynn and K-I-are yeah them boys real strong
Gary Ellis, B. Cricket, Dooky, Shandre Shagg
J-Will, Kite, the sinuses'll kill smokin' big bags
Wreckin' Crew, are-be-J, Lucky's in the shack
V-A click, they got them stacks and that's a fact
[Pimp C]
I'm a pimp ass nigga, so I collect riches
Don't spend my time trickin' with hoes
Ain't supposed to hang with no snitches
Now niggas down with this, or down for offerin' shallow pockets
But when the drama jump down ain't nobody down but cha' mama
Some women fuck they men a lot, they think they pussy the bomb
No matter how much she fuck him, he in another bitch arm
And even though you sucked the mushroom head of his dick
He still gon' go back to thme hoes cause in his heart he a trick
And yo bank account lookin' low
My pimpin' is straight lookin' thick
She's see the ho and I'm the pimp and straight dis this shit
You can't say ya guard low and ya covers is bare
One of my hoes just broke a trick and it's a family affair
[Hook]

Comin through, bumpin' screw, blowin' sweet red hair
I'm cruising around listening to Screwed Up music and smoking weed
Dickey's slippin' I ain't trippin it's a family affair
My clothes might not be perfect, but that doesn't matter because we're all family here
If ya click ain't brandin' then ya click ain't shit
If your crew isn't well-known and respected, they're worthless
Most niggas come around ya just to ride ya dick
Most people are only around for what they can get from you
Cause ya got deep investments in the girl called crack
You're heavily involved in drug dealing
And ya pimp her and ya pipe her and she pay fo' yo Lac
You manage and use drugs to make money to buy luxury cars
Fool, you make a lot of money but cha' talk too much
You're too talkative despite your wealth
Countin' chickens that ain't there'll get cha' caught in a fuss
Don't get too excited about things that aren't guaranteed because it could lead to trouble
Makin' false accusations, fake boot in yo mug
Making false accusations could lead to a violent confrontation
Niggas trippin on that click'll take yo life and yo drugs
People will kill you and steal your drugs if they think you're a threat
Cause out here ain't no love, just Miller's and killers
In this world, there is no love, only people out to make money and those willing to kill for it
And some trilla life ass niggas, pimpin' hoes like gorillas
There are some real gangsters here, who treat women like objects
Niggas in Caddys say scrilla but to me it's just ends
People in Cadillacs talk about money but to me it's just a way to get by
I'd rather roll 96' Lac than a 83' Benz
I prefer a newer luxury car over an older one
If you got murderers in yo family put cho' blunt in the air
If you have killers in your family, raise your joint in the air
Flippin' and dippin' me and yo chicken, it's a family affair
We are all here, selling drugs and having fun together
Candy paint, sweetsa dank, it's a family affair
We like to drive around in brightly-colored cars while smoking weed together
Go down to Texas, represented by long lines and G's
Texas is known for its long highways and gangsters
Where niggas'll fuck you out cho' money, yo mind, yo keys
People here will cheat you out of your money, your sanity, and your car keys
From the days of Pugh boys, tries and Mickey D's fight
In the past, gangs like the Pugh boys, tries, and Mickey D's clashed violently
The fact that be's was tight, we be on Sunday night
Despite the violence, everyone still comes together for a good time on Sunday nights
My niggas DJ and Leroy was puttin' shit down
My friends DJ and Leroy were doing big things
My DJ burns vocals, Ski-Daddy and Big Midge
My DJ, Ski-Daddy, and Big Midge are all talented musicians
J.B. and Big Boy one crazy son of a bitch
J.B. and Big Boy are both wild and unpredictable
And even though you sucked the mushroom head of his dick
Even if you performed oral sex on him
He still gon' go back to thme hoes cause in his heart he a trick
He will still cheat on you with other women because deep down he is a trick
You can't say ya guard low and ya covers is bare
You can't let your guard down and be vulnerable
One of my hoes just broke a trick and it's a family affair
One of the women I'm pimping out was caught and it involved the whole family
It's a family affair, it's a family affair
We are all in this together
Candy paint, sweetsa dank, it's a family affair
We all enjoy cruising around in flashy cars while smoking weed
