I'm bout to make'em understand
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
That I'm a nigga with a plan
I got this money in my hands
This money got me in a trance
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand

I got this money in my hands
This money got me in a trance
I got money on my mind
If you cant see that then you blind
Done did the crime and did the time
I know its coming see the signs
I turn the booth to the columbine
Look what they created frankenstein
When I'm wit ya bitch I'm genuwine
Got potential they see dollar signs
Fuck a check I want mines cash
Get that bag then I turn to flash
I'm on my job I'm taking out the trash
I go crazy on these beats I'm tazz
Smash the bitch then throw her out like jazz
I know they wanna sign me like a cast
Bigg P bitch I motivate myself
I dont need no muhfuckin help
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand

I'm bout to make'em understand
That I'm a nigga with a plan
I got this money in my hands
This money got me in a trance
Let's keep a 100
I love me some money
Its something these niggaz will die for
I'm rolling these backwoods looking for paper
You scrolling through bitchs through iPhones
Cause niggaz be hating when them
Numbers be dropping like numbers on dail tones
Persona be gangster like al Capone
Passing the blunts like gray popone
Nighaz be slipping
Not paying attention
This Haitian be spitting ambition
I came from the trenches
You play your position
You Hop in the kitchen and snatch you a chicken
Bottom we slaved
Pouring on graves
Keep me a bottle in case
I'm kissing the bae
Tell her don't wait
Shorty Just pass me the k
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
That I'm a nigga with a plan
I got this money in my hands
This money got me in a trance
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
I gotta run up these bands
I'm bout to make'em understand
That I'm a nigga with a plan
I got this money in my hands
This money got me in a trance
