(Watch ya step and watch ya moves) My money on mind
Mind on my money
[Verse 1]
Shit, make 'em believe in this prophecy (movement)
You can see I'm tryin to lead my democracy (Dip-Set)
To get money and rip sleeve off of my city (New York)
And slow down, then try to breeze through the projects be (Taft)
And how I speeds in velocity (160)
We came up movin keys of that knotty be (that Yae-Yo)
My man caught 10, couldn't find the keys to the lobby be
The boys rushed him, 2 keys of mahogany (Damn!)
In my life you can't see me not possibly (Nooo!)
How we swoop up in Harlem, 20 Coupes when we mobbin'
40 troops if it's problems (What Nowww!)
Cause 1 nigga you know is a shotgun driver (jus 1 nigga)
Ready to dump triggers, that shotgun fire (blakka!)
I ain't gone front nigga I shot some guys up
(didn't kill 'em though, fuck 'em though)
And they came back to my block like riders (Yop!)
But I'm like "Crouching Tiger", spin, roll, crouch and fire (Boom, Yea!)
A fast retally (Uh Huh!)
Now it's cash we tally
Miami, Atlanta, fuck it we smash to Cali (L.A.X.!)
Back on L.A. Ave, you know the Lennox strip
Where they Henny sip
Beef we let the semi rip
[Chorus]
Mind on my money, my money on mind
Mind on my money, my money on mind
Mind on my money, my money on mind
You fuck wit Dip-Set, I will press on this .9
Mind on my money, my money on mind
Mind on my money, my money on mind
Mind on my money, my money on mind
You fuck wit my paper, I'll press on this .9
[Verse 2]
And yeah we world renowned (U.S.)
And I might twirl through town (uh huh)
And in a Dip-Set mansion is where ya girl be found (hollaaa!)
How can a pearl be drowned (yea)
How can a diamond not shine (uh huh)
Man I'm on my G mack
I scoop up dimes all the time (bad bitches)
They love my pimp juice (yeah)
I let my crimps loose
They get a glimpse, ooooooo
Some went and cinch douche'
Scoop her feed her feed her shrimp soup (that's right)
Mind fuck her, brain fuck her

She scream "Do me it hurt" (uh huh)
Ill have her movin' that work

Up in her Dooney and Bourke (gettin' money)
So ruthless it hurts

When I scoop up my cash man, I swoop up and murk (errrrrrrrr!)
Yea, a trick and a bag bitch (uh huh)

Shit, them bitches mackin' (they love me)

But I don't fuck wit no bitch if she ain't worth no chips or no cabbage
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]

And do to servin' Harlem-matics (damn)
My fame and fortune still revolve wit' static (that beef)
Still involve wit' savage types that move drugs
365 all around set every night (perrico)
I ain't the passive type (nope)
On the benches where I crashed them nites (movin')
Blowin' hemp, movin' slabs of white (hustlin')
Spend days up in court
How I shaved weight to snort
Give that to the press or Dave Mays in the source (suttin to read about)
Yes, since success it has changed
Since we, stepped up in this game and stepped up wit' our game (ballin')
No more chef cuttin' cain
Hoes X'd up in they brain
Lemme sex up in the Range
So much princess cuts in my chains (Bling!)
[Chorus]
The song "On Fire" by Juelz Santana and Jim Jones is a rap song with a smooth rhythm that represents the artists' street background in New York. The lyrics are about the artists' obsession with making money and the violent reality of being part of a gang in their hometown. The opening chorus states that "My money on mind / Mind on my money," emphasizing the importance of making money while keeping a sharp mind in the dangerous streets.
In the first verse, the artists talk about the illegal activities that they had to engage in to be successful in their line of work, primarily drug dealing. They also mention their ability to move through the projects and their approach to using weapons as a defensive mechanism, especially in certain situations where they have to compromise their safety. The second verse is about the rappers' fame and how much they enjoy their luxurious lifestyle. They mention how women throw themselves at them, but they are only interested in dating those who can add value to their wealth. The final verse talks about the challenges the rappers have had to face, such as going to court, and their experience with drugs.
