Do You Wanna Get Money
Mase feat. Puff Daddy Lyrics

Uh, uh, come on, uh
The rapper is hyping up the song and getting ready to perform.

It be the same cats that wouldn't listen to my demo
People who previously ignored his music are now interested in him.

Now I want they ass in my limo 'cause now I'm a sex symbol
He's become attractive to others due to his newfound success.

Intercontinental, L.A. airplay, just like Jay Leno
His music is gaining international recognition, much like a successful TV show host.

Now all the labels out want to send a memo
Record labels are reaching out to him to create music for them.

To do a remix y'all, but Mase say N-O
Although he's being offered opportunities, he has a choice in what he wants to do.

Figure once I make it, they'll fake it
Once he becomes successful, people will try to emulate him.

And ain't nobody show me love when I was naked
No one supported him when he was struggling.

And when he threw my tape in the trash, I laughed
He didn't let rejection bring him down.

Now a nigga' tape on blast, I laugh
His music is now being played publicly, which he finds humorous.

Figure as days pass, make more cash
He expects to continue making more money as time goes on.

And I push everything from E to H-class
He's able to afford and drive top-of-the-line luxury vehicles.

Four years ago couldn't go to a show
He wasn't able to attend shows because he was selling drugs.

I was standin' on the corner sellin' dope for dough
He was selling drugs to make money.

Now I no longer hope I'll blow, smoke my droll
He's now successful and doesn't need to sell drugs anymore.

On a yacht, nigga fuck a boat that row
He's now able to enjoy the finer things in life.

With all this money that we can make
There's a lot of money to be made.

Why y'all cats want to playa hate?
Why do some people want to hate on those who are successful?

Do you want to get money with us, do you want to?
Do you want to be a part of our success and make money with us?

Yo, the reality of it all, everybody can't ball
Not everyone can be successful.

If you had currency, you wouldn't be worryin' 'bout me
If you were already successful, you wouldn't be paying attention to his success.

But see, I could go the whole summer, gold Hummer
He can afford to buy luxury cars without worrying about the cost.

But I'd rather go Lex bubble, 'cause it's less trouble
He prefers to drive a car that's easier to maintain.

Make my dough and I just stack, no investment
He's able to save his money without investing it.

Money, hoes, and clothes, and shit that I'm best at
He's successful in these areas and enjoys them.

But I'm a Bad Boy so you gotta expect that
He's a part of Bad Boy Records and has to live up to their reputation.

Why do what most do? Do what you 'possed to
Why follow what everyone else is doing? Do what you're meant to do.

Make hot jams y'all, sell bicoastal
Create popular music and sell it on both coasts.

If you want a hit you can let me coach you
He's willing to work with others to create a hit song.

Money back on anything that got my vocals
He'll receive payment for any song that he's a part of.

This is so true, I do what pros do
He follows the same steps as successful artists.

'Cause broke ain't a state that I'm tryin' to go through
He doesn't want to go back to being financially struggling again.

Dealers give me credit any place I go to
He's able to get credit from dealers because of his financial success.

Drive out in the Benz say 'Let Mase owe you'
He's able to buy expensive cars and defer payment by getting the dealership to 'let him owe them'.

See, the moral of the story is
The lesson learned from all this is...

I'm not here to replace Notorious
He's not trying to replace the late rapper Notorious B.I.G.

I'm just a young cat tryin' to do his thing
He's a young artist trying to make a name for himself.

Harlem World style, pursue my dream, 'cause see
He wants to achieve success in his own way, Harlem World style.

The things that went 3 mil, I didn't even like that
He may not have enjoyed music that sold millions of copies.

You say you got mad hoes, well we'll see tonight
Someone has claimed to have many women interested in them and he wants to test if it's true.

Mase be the cat that'll lead you to the light
He can guide someone to success.

Messin' with me shorty, you'll be a-ight
Being associated with him can bring success.

Stop listen' to all them cats on the block
Stop listening to people who may be negative towards his success.

That tellin' you that Mase don't rock
People may doubt his abilities as an artist.

'cause Mase is hot and Mase got a drop and a yacht and a big knot
He's got a lot of money and luxurious items to show for it.

To move you and your moms off the block
He's able to afford to move himself and his mother from their former neighborhood.

For real though, Mase got real dough
He truly has a lot of money.

That be in briefcases cats kill fo'
His money is so valuable that others may commit crimes for it.

And since you can't beat us, it's best you join us
If you can't be successful, it's better to join those who are successful.

'Cause I know you won't have this hold that's on us
You won't be able to achieve the same level of success that he and his peers have.

With all this money that we can make
There's a lot of money to be made.

Why y'all cats want to playa hate?
Why do some people want to hate on those who are successful?

Do you want to get money with us, do you want to?
Do you want to be a part of our success and make money with us?

Do you want to get money with us, do you want to?
Do you want to be a part of our success and make money with us?

With all this money that we can make
There's a lot of money to be made.

Why y'all cats want to playa hate?
Why do some people want to hate on those who are successful?

Do you want to get money with us, do you want to?
Do you want to be a part of our success and make money with us?

Do you want to get money with us, do you want to?
Do you want to be a part of our success and make money with us?
