Do You Wanna Get $
Mase ft. Puff Daddy Lyrics

Uh, uh, come on, uh
The song is starting, come on and listen

It be the same cats that wouldn't listen to my demo
The people who didn't listen to my music before are now interested because I'm famous

Now I want they ass in my limo cuz now I'm a sex symbol
I want to show off my success by having those same people ride in my expensive car

Intercontinental, L.A. airplay, just like Jay Leno
My music is being played all over the world, including Los Angeles, like a famous TV show host

Now all the labels out wanna send a memo
All the record labels are interested in working with me now

To do a remix ya'll, but Mase say N-O
They want me to work on a remix, but I'm not interested

Figure once I make it, they'll fake it
I think that people will pretend to like me once I'm successful

And ain't nobody show me love when I was naked
Nobody supported me before I became famous

And when he threw my tape in the trash, I laughed
I laughed when someone threw away my music before I became successful

Now a nigga' tape on blast, I laugh
Now my music is being played everywhere, and I'm proud

Figure as days pass, make more cash
I expect to keep making more money as time goes on

And I push everything from E to H-class
I buy and promote everything from luxury cars to private jets

Four years ago couldn't go to a show
I wasn't able to attend concerts four years ago

I was standin' on the corner sellin' dope for dough
I used to sell drugs on the street to make a living

Now I no longer hope I'll blow, smoke my droll
I'm no longer struggling to be successful and now I can relax and smoke marijuana

On a yacht, nigga fuck a boat that row
I now have enough money to own a luxury boat and don't have to row myself

With all this money that we can make,
There is a lot of money to be made

Why ya'll cats wanna playa hate?
Why do people want to hate on us for being successful?

Do you wanna get money with us, do you wanna?
Do you want to make money with us?

Yo, the reality of it all, everybody can't ball
The truth is, not everyone can be rich and successful

If you had currency, you wouldn't be worryin' 'bout me
If you were rich, you wouldn't be jealous of my success

But see, I could go the whole summer, gold Hummer
I'm so rich that I could drive a gold Hummer all summer if I wanted to

But I'd rather go Lex bubble, cuz it's less trouble
But I prefer to drive a Lexus because it's easier to handle

Make my dough and I just stack, no investment
I save my money and don't invest it in anything

I live off just that
I can live comfortably just off my savings

Money, hoes, and clothes, and shit that I'm best at
I'm good at making money and attracting women and I buy a lot of expensive clothes

But I'm a Bad Boy so you gotta expect that
I'm part of the Bad Boy record label, so you should expect me to be flashy and successful

Why do what most do? Do what you 'possed to
Why follow what most people do? Instead, do what you're supposed to do to be successful

Make hot jams ya'll, sell bicoastal
Make good music and sell it to fans on both coasts

If you want a hit you can let me coach you
I can help you make a hit song if you let me give you advice

Money back on anything that got my vocals
I will make sure to earn money from any song that I appear on

This is so true, I do what pros do,
This is a fact, I do what successful people do

Cuz broke ain't a state that I'm tryin' to go through
I don't want to be broke again

Dealers give me credit any place I go to
Dealers trust me enough to give me credit when I buy things

Drive out in the Benz say "Let Mase owe you'"
When I buy a Mercedes-Benz, I tell the dealer to let me owe them money

See, the moral of the story is
The message of this song is

I'm not here to replace Notorious
I'm not trying to be the same as the late rapper Notorious B.I.G.

I'm just a young cat tryin' to do his thing
I'm just a young musician trying to be successful in the music industry

Harlem World style, pursue my dream, cuz see
I'm from Harlem and I'm pursuing my dream

The things that went 3 mil, I didn't even like that
The things that sold three million copies, I wasn't even proud of

You say you got mad hoes, well we'll see tonight
You claim to have a lot of women interested in you, but we'll see later

Mase be the cat that'll lead you to the light
I can help guide you to success and make you famous like me

Messin' with me shorty, you'll be a-ight
If you work with me, you'll be okay and successful too

Stop listen' to all them cats on the block
Don't listen to the people in your neighborhood who tell you not to work with me

That tellin' you that Mase don't rock
Whoever is saying that I'm not a good musician is wrong

Cuz Mase is hot and Mase got a drop and a yacht and a big knot
I am very successful and own a luxury car, boat, and a lot of money

To move you and your moms off the block
I have enough money to help you and your family move away from the neighborhood

For real though, Mase got real dough
Seriously, I have a lot of money

That be in briefcases cats kill fo'
I have so much money that people would kill to get it

And since you can't beat us, it's best you join us
Since you can't compete with my success, it's better to work with me instead

Cuz I know you won't have this hold that's on us
Because you're not successful like me, you won't have the same level of fame and success
