Got Your Money
Old Dirty Bastard Lyrics

Oh Baby
Expression of affection or admiration

I dedicate this to all the pretty girls
Song dedicated to beautiful women

To all the pretty girls...to oh...
Acknowledgment of all beautiful women

All the pretty girl in the world
All beautiful women on earth

And the ugly girls too
Even unattractive women are acknowledged

But to me your pretty anyway baby.
Subjective opinion that a woman is beautiful regardless of appearance

You give me your number
Request for a woman's phone number

I call you up
Initiating contact via phone call

You act like your pussy don't interrupt
Accusation that the woman is not interested in sex

I don't have no trouble with you fuckin' me
Consent for sexual activity

But I have a little problem with you not fuckin' me
Frustration that the woman is not interested in sex

Baby you know I'm a take care of you
Promise to care for the woman

Cause you say you got my baby & I know it ain't true.
Doubt as to the legitimacy of the woman's claim of pregnancy

Is it a good thing?? No, it's bad bitch
Acknowledgment that the situation is negative

For good or worse, makes you switch
Circumstances that lead to changes in behavior

So I walk on over with my Cristal
Approach with luxury champagne as an attempt to impress

Bitch ass niggas put away your pistols
Command for others to put away dangerous weapons

Dirty won't be havin' it in this house
Warning that violence will not be tolerated

Cause bitch I'll cripple your style
Threat of physical harm

Now that you heard my calmin' voice
Acknowledgment that the tone of voice is less threatening

Couldn't get another nigga, hoochie won't get moist
Implication that the woman is not attractive to other men

If you want to look good & not be bummy
Suggestion that the woman improve her appearance

Girl you better give me that money.
Demand for payment

CHORUS: [x2]
Repeating section of the song

Hey, dirty, baby I Got Your Money
Acknowledgment that the singer has the money

Don't you worry
Assurance that the money is safe

I said hey, baby I Got Your Money.
Reiteration that the singer has the money

Yo, so I glanced at the girl girl glanced at me
Interaction with a woman who is attracted to the singer

I whispered in her ear "You wanna be with me?"
Suggesting a sexual encounter with the woman

You want to look pretty though in my video
Offering a role in a music video

Ol' Dirty on the hat & I let you all know
Personal branding of the singer

Just dance like your caught up in the Holy Ghost trance
Instruction to dance energetically

If you stop, I'm a put the killer ants in your pants
Threat to harm the woman if she stops dancing

I'm the ODB as you can see
Self-identification by the singer

FBI, don't you be watchin' me
Request for law enforcement to not monitor the singer

I don't want no problem 'cause I'll put you down
Warning to potential adversaries

In the ground where you can not be found
Threat of physical harm

I'm just Dirt Dog tryin' to make some money
Explanation of the singer's motives

So give me my streaks & give me my honey
Request for payment

Radio's play this all day every day
Indication of the song's popularity

Recognize I'm a fool & you lovin' me
Recognition that the singer is foolish but still loved

None of you, nuh, better look at me funny
Warning to others to not disrespect the singer

Nuh, you know my name now give me my money.
Demand for payment

Sing it
Encouragement to sing along

Sing it girls...
Specifically addressed to female listeners

Just shake it right now!
Instruction to dance provocatively

If Dirty want his money I think ya'll should give him his money
Reinforcement of the demand for payment

That's how I like girl
Attracted to the woman's sexual appeal

Sexy, sexy, sexy,
Praising the woman's appearance

Yo, yo, nigga playin' in the club like this all night
Description of a club atmosphere

Bitches put your ass out & let me hold it tight
Asking women to dance provocatively

You lookin' at my wrist sayin' "It's so nice!"
Boasting about expensive jewelry

The price fits the diamonds, shinin' in disco lights
Successfully displaying wealth

You better help me solve my problem
Request for assistance

Or I'm a get this money & rob them
Threat to commit robbery if assistance is not given

Lucky dog when I won the lotto
Luck in winning a large sum of money

Ran up my cards for carryin' raw loads
Spending money on illegal substances

Well hold on now you can call me Dirty
Self-identification by the singer

And then lift up your skirt
Request for sexual activity

And if you want some of this dirty
Offer of sexual activity

God made dirt & dirt bust your ass
Play on words to imply that the singer is tough

Stop annoying me, yeah I play my music loud
Request to be left alone and confirmation of loud music

Take the bastard Old Dirty to move the crowd
Acknowledgment of the singer's ability to motivate people

They said he had his dick in his mouth
Rumor spread about the singer's sexual behavior

Eddie Murphy taught me that back at the house
Reference to a comedian's joke

Now give me my money.
Final demand for payment

CHORUS repeats fading out
Reiteration of the chorus with a gradual decrease in volume
