Gold Digger
Kanya west ft Jamie Foxx Lyrics

She take my money when I'm in need
She takes advantage of my financial vulnerability

Yeah, she's a triflin' friend indeed
She is an untrustworthy friend

Oh, she's a gold digger
She is primarily interested in getting money and material possessions

Way over town, that digs on me
She lives far away from me but is still interested in me for my money

(She give me money) Now, I ain't sayin' she a gold digger
Even though she gives me money, it doesn't necessarily prove that she is not a gold digger

(When I'm in need) But she ain't messin' with no broke niggas
She is not interested in dating or being associated with men who are not financially stable

(I gotta leave) Get down girl, go 'head, get down
Encouraging her to leave

(I gotta leave) Get down girl, go 'head
Continuing to encourage her to leave

Cutie the bomb, met her at a beauty salon
Met a good-looking woman at a beauty parlor

With a baby Louis Vuitton under her underarm
Holding a Louis Vuitton bag with a child

She said, "I can tell you rock, I can tell by your charm
She is attracted to him and senses that he is successful and charismatic

"Far as girls, you got a flock"
He has many female admirers

"I can tell by your charm and your arm"
Reiterating that she finds him charming and is impressed by his expensive watch or bracelet

But I'm lookin' for the one, have you seen her?
He is looking for a specific type of woman

My psychic told me she'll have a ass like Serena
His psychic predicted his ideal woman will have a body similar to Serena Williams

Trina, Jennifer Lopez, four kids
Comparing potential women to Trina and Jennifer Lopez, both of whom have four children

And I gotta take all they bad ass to ShowBiz?
He doesn't want to deal with the baggage of multiple children

Okay, get your kids, but then they got their friends
He doesn't want to deal with taking care of his partner's children and their friends too

I pulled up in the Benz, they all got up in
He drove up in his Mercedes-Benz and all the children got in his car

We all went to Den and then I had to pay
He paid for their outing at the restaurant or club

If you fuckin' with this girl, then you better be paid
A warning to other men that if they are going to be romantically involved with this woman, they better have money

You know why? It take too much to touch her
She has expensive tastes and it takes a lot of money to keep her happy

From what I heard she got a baby by Busta
Rumors that she has a child with Busta Rhymes

My best friend said she used to fuck with Usher
His friend said that she had a sexual relationship with Usher

I don't care what none of y'all say, I still love her
He still loves her despite her gold digging tendencies

Eighteen years, eighteen years
The child support payments last for eighteen years

She got one of your kids, got you for eighteen years
He has to pay child support for eighteen years because she had a child with him

I know somebody payin' child support for one of his kids
He knows someone who is in the same situation

His baby mama car and crib is bigger than his
His ex-partner has a larger car and a bigger home than him

You will see him on TV any given Sunday
He is a successful athlete

Win the Super Bowl and drive off in a Hyundai
Even though he is successful, he isn't extravagant with his spending and drives a Hyundai

She was supposed to buy your shorty Tyco with your money
She promised to buy something for his child with his money

She went to the doctor, got lipo with your money
She used his money to get liposuction

She walkin' around lookin' like Michael with your money
She looks unrecognizable after her cosmetic surgery

Shoulda got that insured, Geico for your money
He regrets not getting his expensive possessions insured

If you ain't no punk
If you're not a coward

Holla, "We want prenup! We want prenup!" (Yeah!)
He advises other men to get a prenup to protect their finances in case of a divorce

It's somethin' that you need to have
A prenup is a necessary precaution

'Cause when she leave yo' ass, she gon' leave with half
Without a prenup, she will take half of his money in a divorce settlement

And on the 18th birthday he found out it wasn't his?
He finds out on his child's 18th birthday that the child isn't actually his

Now, I ain't sayin' you a gold digger, you got needs
She is not necessarily a gold digger, she just has her own financial needs

You don't want a dude to smoke but he can't buy weed
She doesn't want a partner who smokes but can't afford to buy it

You go out to eat, he can't pay, y'all can't leave
They can't leave the restaurant because he can't afford to pay for the meal

There's dishes in the back, he gotta roll up his sleeves
He has to wash dishes in the restaurant kitchen in exchange for their meal

But while y'all washin', watch him
She advises women to closely observe their partner's ambition and potential

He gon' make it to a Benz out of that Datsun
He has the potential to improve his financial situation and upgrade his car

He got that ambition, baby, look at his eyes
He has the drive and determination to succeed

This week he moppin' floors, next week it's the fries
He is currently working a menial job, but soon he will advance and take on more responsibilities

So stick by his side
Encouraging women to support and believe in their partner's potential

I know there's dudes ballin', and yeah, that's nice
He acknowledges that there are men who are financially successful and able to provide more immediately

And they gonna keep callin' and tryin', but you stay right, girl
He advises women to remain loyal and faithful to their partners despite other men's advances

And when you get on, he'll leave yo' ass for a white girl
If she becomes wealthy or successful, he will leave her for a white woman

Get down girl, go 'head, get down
Encouraging her to dance and have fun

Let me hear that back
Asking to hear the previous lines of the song again
