I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the United States of America

Money fallin' from the sky
Trying to get some money put your motherfucking hands high

Money fallen
Look at all this money fallen
I throw money in the air
Because I'm ballin'
Bitch I go hard I put my all in
If my phone ring that's money calling
Smell my weed it come from Cali
All my rings are filled with diamonds
Smoke a lot of marijuana on the top because the timin'
Haters mad at what I got because I grindin'
Now they say that he got game I make it rain like Jesus Christ

Money Fallin' from the sky like rain
Right now I'm just tryin' to get me some
Everybody wants to get paid
Counting so much money our figures numb
Dollas, Dollas, Dollas hoorah
That's why every night we wanna be in the club
Nobody ain't tryin' to save
Spend each and every dollar as soon as it comes, baby

Money fallin' from the

No carpet that’s alpaca nigga you gotta blot it

Yea nigga be sola flexin'
When it come to this cash man
I ain't use no discretion
Dollas dollas dollas
Just part of me gotta chase em
See my arrested developments probably the ones a playin'
My blatant void of concern to prepare for an obligation
I stared death in the face and told em prepare for annihilation
And I always had ambition
Couldn't nobody tell me nothin'
I was on the hustle since I was this big

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to DJ Drama's song "Pledge Of Allegiance" feature a mix of patriotism and materialism. The opening lines of the song reference the national pledge of allegiance, but quickly shift to a focus on money falling from the sky, and the desire to accumulate wealth. The chorus repeats the phrase "money falling from the sky," suggesting a sense of abundance and opportunity, but also a sense of urgency in trying to capture that wealth.

The verses feature various rappers boasting about their riches and success, with references to jewelry (all my rings are filled with diamonds), drugs (smell my weed it comes from Cali), and basketball (hoopin' 365, call that consistent ballin'). There's also a sense of defiance and determination in the lyrics, with lines like "stared death in the face and told em prepare for annihilation" and "couldn't nobody tell me nothin'."

Overall, the song seems to be about the American dream of wealth and success, but with a cynicism and edge that acknowledges the challenges and dangers of pursuing that dream.
