Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Work
You know I'm on the way
When you see me better catch me
Aye
I'm here I'm gone
I wake up early in the morn'
I'm making trades
I'm getting paid
Look
No I can't be no lackin
No I can't be no slackin
Gotta get bread I'm packin
Gone all month (see ya)
Look
Hey

When it comes to that money I'm stackin
No I can't be no lackin'
No i can't do no slackin'
Gotta get bread I'm packin'
Gone all month
Let you know when I'm back in
Said I'm gone all month let you know when I'm back in
Checked bags
Pre check
Another day
That's another check
Aye that's another check
I gotta
Collect
Another transaction on the way
I gotta ship a package out today
And I aint got no time to play
I gotta get everything done
Before I'm in the sun in a whole other state
Wait
Catch me when you can
Catch me when you can
Cause I'm a a busy man
Busy man
Catch me when you can
I gotta get everything done
Before I'm in the sun in a whole other state
Wait




I gotta
Collect
