Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Boy i′m just trying to get dis money right now
Don't got much time for you
Like how i used to
Cause i′m just tryna get dis money right now
Don't got much time for you
Please don't take the is personal
I gotta get it, gotta go
Know you want me but i stay on the road

(Gabby)
I gotta stack it until it can′t fold
I′ma be back, gotta put you on hold
(Madi)
Cause i'm just tryna get dis money right now
Right now, right now, right now

I love you but i gotta see you later
I need that money sooner than later
Can′t stop till i'm swimmin in paper
Can′t stop till i'm swimmin in paper
I want you but i gotta win
Gotta get momma a Benz
Gotta look out for my friends
Keeping it real, no pretend

(Pre chorus: Madi)
Sorry if it hurts you boy
But i gotta get these coins
And you know its you i adore
But i love this mullah more, more

(Chorus: Madi)
Boy i′m just trying to get dis money right now
Don't got much time for you
Like how i used to
Cause i'm just tryna get dis money right now
Don′t got much time for you
Please don′t take the is personal
I gotta get it, gotta go
Know you want me but i stay on the road
(Gabby)
I gotta stack it until it can't fold
I′ma be back, gotta put you on hold
(Madi)
Cause i'm just tryna get dis money right now
Right now, right now, right now

Wish we could take walks to the beach
But i′d rather take walks to the bank
Wish we could have sand in our feet
But i'd rather count Benjimen Franks
You know i want but i gotta win
Gotta buy momma a crib and a Benz
So i gotta get them M′s
I can't be your girlfriend

(Pre chorus: Madi)
Sorry if it hurts you boy
But i gotta get these coins
And you know its you i adore
But i love this mullah more, more

(Chorus: Madi)
Boy i'm just trying to get dis money right now
Don′t got much time for you
Like how i used to
Cause i′m just tryna get dis money right now
Don't got much time for you
Please don′t take the is personal
I gotta get it, gotta go
Know you want me but i stay on the road
(Gabby)
I gotta stack it until it can't fold
I′ma be back, gotta put you on hold
(Madi)

Cause i'm just tryna get dis money right now
Right now, right now, right now
