It's Illijah, ha, Conman, Mink Gang in the bulding, what up?

Goddman girl, you thicker than a milkshake
So baby bring your body this way, and let me throw this money on you
'Cause I love the way your hips shake
And bitch, I'm ballin' like I'm king James
I got bands on me, rolling in the bulding
And we got it like that so somebody better tell 'em wassup

I'm feeling good, I'm 'bout to kill it
Bitch, I got money on deck
So, baby tell me, you gon' shake it or what?
Bitch I'm tryna see you work som'n
Now baby give it to me, you know what I want, turn me on
Feeling you up and now I'ma take it off
Girl you fuckin' with a boss
Look at all this money, baby you can have it all

Got a whole lotta dough
Got all these bands on me, baby look at all these bands on me
Baby, you can have it all, all you gotta do is dance on me
It's the money, make her dance on me
Got the money, make her dance, dance, make her dance on me

Pull up like a parade the way we got the bands
Section looking too right, they don't stand a chance
Different type of livin', money falling from the ceiling
We ain't even in the building, we the only ones they feeling
Damn, now let me show you what the hype about
All them other dudes is half-assed, better get a belt
You the only ten I see, not talkin' 'bout Vanderbilt
Better do a little more thinking I'ma pay the bill
Make it rain, I make it rain
Throw a little more, wash it down with champagne
Askin' for a picture, watch me beat it out to fame
She in love with the white, I ain't talkin' cocaine
Got a hot little body, I swear you can have it all
I'm not worried 'bout your mans, you can tell him to be gone
Better yet, say you with Con, better yet, say you with Con
Told you, money made her dance, had her runnin' out of thongs

Got a whole lotta dough
Got all these bands on me, baby, look at all these bands on me
Baby, you can have it all, all you gotta do is dance on me
It's the money, make her dance on me
