Just Got Paid
Meghan Trainor Lyrics

I should grow up some day 'cause I got bills to pay
I need to start acting like an adult because I have financial responsibilities.

I can't be waking up at someone else's place
I can't rely on other people to shelter me because I need to learn independence.

I know I drink too much, can't pay my rent this month
I recognize that my choices have consequences, like overspending on alcohol and being unable to cover my living expenses.

I should be saving up, but
It would be wise for me to put more money aside for emergencies or future expenses, but...

I just got paid
Despite my financial troubles, I recently received a paycheck.

I'm broke, but I'm ballin'
Although I am currently experiencing financial hardship, I like to act as though I have plenty of money to spend.

Don't know where we're goin'
I am uncertain about my future financial situation or lifestyle.

We go in when we go out
I spend money without much thought or planning, whether I'm staying in or going out with friends.

And it feels like every day's a holiday
I enjoy spending my money freely and carelessly, as if every day is a special occasion.

So I can't take my cheque to the bank
I don't have any money left over after covering my expenses to deposit into a savings account.

And I know, know, know I should be worried
I am aware that my financial situation is not ideal and should probably cause me to feel stressed or anxious.

But I work, work, work to the bone, baby
I put in a lot of effort and hours on my job, even if the pay isn't enough to support my lifestyle.

So gimme that
I want some level of financial stability and monetary gain, so...

Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that (woo)
...I want to be rewarded financially in some way.

Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that (hey)
I want to be given some type of financial compensation that I feel I deserve.

Gimme that money
I want to receive a financial windfall that will alleviate my current financial struggles.

I said, now, gimme that money (oh, woah)
I am pleading for assistance in acquiring more money or resources to better my financial situation.

Come on and gimme that money
I am urging someone or some entity to provide me with additional financial support.

La-di-da-di, we like to party
I and my friends enjoy socializing, celebrating and having a good time.

Don't cause trouble, don't bother nobody
We try to have fun without causing problems for others or disrupting anyone else's experience.

Walk up in the party
We make grand, confident entrances into social events.

Sports bra, sports car driver
I am fit, active and comfortable wearing athletic apparel, even while simultaneously owning a fancy vehicle.

Show up, show out, bow in, bow out
We like to make a statement and have a memorable presence at social functions, but also know when to exit and re-enter the scene.

Go in, go out, Cîroc, we pour out
We drink and party heavily, often with the brand of vodka Cîroc.

I cop more diamonds, ladies be the finest
I am wealthy enough to purchase expensive gemstones, and women always seem interested in me.

Crush grapes, we don't do the wine
We prefer to drink grape-flavored alcohol rather than wine.

Crush denim, top spinning, cool bean, front grilling
We like to dance, dress fashionably, and act confident and cool.

Got paid, hop the G5 faded
I recently received a large sum of money and used it to take a trip on a specific type of airplane while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Rope chain shell-toes, wavy like a sailboat
I have a necklace made of thick chains, and wear sneakers that have a specific design, all while having stylish, wavy hair.

When you hear the haan, there it go
When you hear a specific sound effect, something significant is happening or I am arriving on the scene.

Montana with the funky sound
I am the musician French Montana, and I have a unique, distinct style of music.

Sigala got the London sound
The musician Sigala has a particular type of music that is associated with London, England.

Stuck in my glory days
I may be nostalgic for a past time when I had more money or a better financial situation.

I know there's nothing wrong, it's just a passing phase
I recognize that my current financial struggles are temporary and will eventually improve over time.

And when I've had my fun, I swear I'll be someone
Once I've enjoyed myself and spent my money freely for a period of time, I'm fully expecting (or hoping) to have a more successful or financially-stable future.

I know that day will come, but
Although I recognize that I need to work hard and make changes for a better financial future, right now I'm still...

Come on, say
Let's all have a good time together and enjoy ourselves.

Yeah, yeah, oh, oh
Celebratory interjection expressing satisfaction or happiness.

Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that
Anxious and excited demand to acquire additional financial resources or wealth.

Gimme that money, gimme that money
A specific request for more financial help from someone or some entity.
