Ol' Dirty Bastard Kelis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dedicate this to all the pretty girls
All the pretty girls
It's on
All the pretty girls, in the world
And the ugly girls too
Cause to me your pretty anyways baby
You act like your pussy don't interrupt
I don't have no problem with you fucking me
But I have a little problem wit you not fucking me
Baby you know I'ma take care of you
Cause you say you got my baby, and I know it ain't true
Is it a good thing? No it's bad bitch
For good or worse, makes you switch
So I walk on over with my Cristal
Bitches, niggaz put away your pistols
Dirty wont be having it in this house
Cause bitch I'll cripple your style
Now that you heard my calm voice
You couldn't get another nigga, cootchie won't get moist
If you wanna look good and not be bummy,
Girl you better give me that money
Hey, dirty, baby I got your money
Don't you worry, I said hey.
Baby I got your money
Hey, dirty, baby I got your money
Don't you worry, I said hey.
Baby I got your money
Yo! So I glanced at the girls, girls glanced at me
I whispered in their ear, wanna be with me?
You wanna look pretty though, in my video
Ol' dirty on the hat and I let you all know
Just dance! If you caught up in the Holy Ghost trance
If you stop! I'ma put the killer ants in your pants
I'm the O-D-B as you can see
Every eye, don't you be watching me
I don't want no problems cause I put you down
In the ground where you can not be found
I'm just dirt dog trying to make sum bunny
So give me my streaks and give me my honey
Radio, yes all day, everyday
Recognize I'm a fool and ya luv me!
None of you better look at me funny
You know my name now give me my money!
Hey, dirty, baby I got your money
Don't you worry, I said hey.
Baby I got your money
Hey, dirty, baby I got your money
Don't you worry, I said hey.
Baby I got your money
Sing it, sing it girls!
Just shake it right now!
If dirty want his money
I think y'all should give him his money
That's how I like girl
Sexy, sexy, sexy!
Sexy, sexy, sexy!
Sexy, sexy, sexy!
Sexy, sexy, sexy!
Yo, yo!
Nigga playing in the club like this all night
Bitches put your ass out let me hold it tight
You looking at my wrist saying "its so nice"
The price bitch is diamonds shining disco light
You better help me solve this problem
Or I'ma get this money and rob them
Lucky dig when I won the lotto
Ran up on my car for carrying kilos
You can call me dirty, and then lift up your skirt
And you want some of this dirty, god made dirt and dirt bust yo ass
Stop annoying me, yeah! I play my music loud
It takes the bastard ol' dirty, to move the crowd
They say he had his dick in his mouth
Eddie Murphy told me that back in the house
But give me my money!
Hey, dirty, baby I got your money
Don't you worry, I said hey.
Baby I got your money
Hey, dirty, baby I got your money
Don't you worry, I said hey.
Baby I got your money
The song "Got Your Money" by Ol' Dirty Bastard and Kelis is a playful, boastful rap anthem that celebrates the attention of beautiful women, while also warning them about Ol' Dirty Bastard's ultimate need for compensation. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song as ODB dedicated it to all the pretty and ugly girls, showing his indiscriminate nature. The lyrics imply that he knows how to take care of a woman, but having his money is an essential part of that care. ODB seems to assert his dominance by calling out women's insecurity, telling them that if they want to look good, they better give him his money.
The second verse of the song is ODB's attempt to impress women with his reputation as an artist. He tells the women that he can make them look pretty in his music video and warns them that he can also put killer ants in their pants if they stop dancing. He further establishes his dominance by saying that he is the ODB, and all eyes are on him. ODB makes a thinly veiled threat towards anyone who questions his status as an artist, saying that he puts those who do down in the ground where they cannot be found.
Overall, "Got Your Money" is a humorous and catchy rap song that relies on ODB's charismatic, unruly spirit. The song's underlying theme of money and power is an essential aspect of its lyrics that both celebrate and exaggerate the artist's personality.

He's not pretending to be ODB, he's as authentically close to an ODB as we're going to get. He's doing his own thing as Young Dirty Bastard

I’m glad his estate made some money, but I hate it when they use my favorite old school funky jams to sell lame-ass widgets in ads.
