Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bring it in can you feel it can you feel it
It's all about the money baby

Big Eightball straight up out the south to you
Honey coated money fool that's all I wanna do
Spit dope that a nigga sat at the crip
And rolled me and philly phil on that flight
Always tight all night sleepy niggas don't get paid
They get made into broke niggas everyday
I'm on some finance increased raps and beats
Hip-hop Glock poppin' hollow point heat
What you boys need I got it by the pidound
Straight up out the midound make everybody get down
Sandy brown blades ways in a daze damn
Ain't eightball at the mall with the brades
Hey don't get fly cuz I can get fly too
Cruisin' in a six double 0 right by you
From the bayou to the hudson I be bustin'
But if it ain't about money it ain't about nothin'
