Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dedicate this to all the pretty girls
All the pretty girls

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 charming voice
You couldn't get another nigga, coochie 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

Recognize I'm a fool and ya luv me!
None of you nuh better look at me funny
You nuh know my name now give me my money!

You looking at my wrist saying "its so nice"
The price bitch is diamonds shining disco light
You better help me solve my problem
Or I'ma get this money and rob them
Lucky dog 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

In "Got Your Money," Ol' Dirty Bastard and Kelis collaborate on an upbeat hip-hop track about money, sex, and power dynamics. In the first verse, ODB dedicates the song to all the pretty girls and the ugly girls too, explaining that to him, they are all pretty anyway. He then talks about a girl giving him her number and not wanting to have sex with him, which he has a problem with. He promises to take care of her if she indeed has his baby, despite knowing that it's probably not true. He also comments on how in a relationship, things can go from good to bad quickly. Later in the song, ODB talks about being in videos with pretty girls, making music that people love, but still needing to be paid for his work. The chorus features Kelis singing "Hey, dirty, baby, I got your money," reassuring ODB that she has what he needs.
Throughout the song, ODB makes references to his money problems and criminal past. He tells his listeners to put away their pistols and promises not to have any problems. He also talks about winning the lottery and running into trouble with the law for carrying kilos. The song's lyrics may be vulgar and explicit, but they are also humorous, and ODB's unique delivery and flow make the track instantly recognizable.
