10 G's
Curren$y feat. Birdman & Gunplay Lyrics

Let's all be millionaires
A call to action to strive towards financial success

I can take ten G's, and make twenty more ten G's with that
Confidence that one has the ability to turn a small amount of money into a larger sum

I'm still at it, they still mad
Continuing to work hard towards success despite others' negative feelings towards you

Her friends hated, but I still smashed
Having romantic success despite others' disapproval

She went braggin' how much fun she had
A woman boasted about an intimate encounter with the artist

And now them hoes wanna roll, but that jet done passed
Other women now want a chance to be with the singer, but he has already moved on

Steak and shrimp on the plane 'til it's 'bout to land
Enjoying luxury dining on a plane

Learn to correctly say the name of where I really am
Correcting others on the pronunciation of a location

Buyin' antiques, foreign lamps
Purchasing unique and rare items

Passport, stamps on every page
Having traveled extensively and collected many passport stamps as a result

Old head paper like Zig-Zags, bitch I've been paid
Having a significant amount of wealth and stating that it has been earned over time

New Benjamins, Raw wraps, cones to the dome
Having a large amount of money and spending it on expensive and high-quality cannabis products

Lone Ranger park the Range on the range
Parking a luxury vehicle in a remote and isolated location

Countin' twenty G's in my D-boy stance
Counting a large sum of money in a confident and deliberate manner

Rap like keys, open vaults to the racks
Using musical talent to generate substantial wealth

Niggas like me want all of that, and some mo' of that
Expressing a desire for more wealth and material possessions

Go on and show me where they store it at (go on)
Requesting to be shown where valuable items are kept

Hundred G's on one block, gave straps, go move blocks
Having a large amount of money and weapons in order to control a specific area

We move blocks on one block
Controlling an entire neighborhood or area with significant financial power

'89 we came through, that triple beam, we weigh it through
Engaging in drug trafficking and weighing drugs on a triple beam scale during the late 80s

Them thangs came, we did that
Having success selling drugs

Came down from H-Town, I told a nigga we moved that
Traveling from Houston, Texas and successfully selling drugs in another area

Uptown my block, nigga
Having success controlling a neighborhood or area in an affluent part of town

We came through, straight stock, nigga
Having significant financial power and control in a specific area

Ain't nothin' came from gettin' money
Money itself does not bring happiness or fulfillment

I can take nothin', turn it to stuntin'
Having the ability to turn very little into something impressive

Turn a five to a ten, a ten to a Benz
Successfully turning small amounts of money into larger sums and being able to purchase luxury vehicles

Turned one crack rock into a neck full of gems
Having success in drug trafficking and using the money to purchase expensive jewelry

Had no choices or options, forced to be great
Necessity and adversity were the driving forces behind achieving success

When you walk amongst bosses, hope you relate
Being in the presence of successful and powerful people and hoping to aspire to their level of success

Grew up poorer than most, nigga had no bread
Growing up in poverty with very little money or resources

But I was holdin' my toast, my back touchin' my ribs
Carrying a firearm at all times in order to protect oneself, even when one is extremely thin and weak due to lack of food

Had to get it, by any means, necessary
Being willing to do whatever it takes to achieve success

Never scary, goin' hard like I won't be ever buried
Being fearless in the pursuit of success and never giving up

Boxed in these projects, never felt my palm itch
Growing up in poverty and never stealing or participating in criminal activity

Niggas lives cut short by these long clips
Experiencing violence and death due to gun violence

How I made it out, still a mystery
The singer is unsure of how they were able to escape poverty and violence and achieve success

Cause Lord knows (how treacherous these mean streets can be)
Acknowledging the dangers and difficulties of growing up in a violent, impoverished neighborhood
