On the 7th September 2009 P Money released his second mixcd titled Money Over Everyone. It has been very well received by fans, hailed as release of the year by many. There are many big name features such as Wiley, Frisco and fellow OG's members Blacks & Little Dee on vocals, and the producers include Silencer, Rude Kid, Scratcha, Maniac & many more.

P Money Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crowd goes mad, all the girls scream.
When they see me, Benga and Skream.
This one's mad, Lettin' off steam.
P-Money's back, missing off strings.
You wanna know, how they know that it's me?
Ratata! How d'ya mean!?
I'm on a high, you're just lean.
Slang like this took over the scene.
Cool, Safe, Blood, Seen!
I sound like money, it's in my genes.
It's on my car, it's in my jeans.
How can I boss when the boss is me.
You're just an ex, woman like Jean!
The most respected member!
I make the vibe much better!
Bouncing left, Bouncing right!
Cause I'm the dubstepper!
Real gal collector!
Real trend-setter!
We party so hard, the next day no-one can remember! X2
And you can hear this on the flooor...
I want you screaming out for moooore.
B, this one's sick. Call it a madman,
So not a chick!
Grime goes mad, girls go Schitz!
It's dub-mania, this ain't the brits!
They're like "How come your tunes big?"
Mine goes bang, your one clicks!
It's an air-raid, live on the air-waves..
Return of the blitz!
You should'a called this one stupid.
The kicks is dumb, bass is thick!
Levels are high, Yours are licked.
Mine gets rinsed, yours gets mixed!
You can't tell me to do s**t!
Do it yourself! Get down to it!.
I'm really here, forget all the wigs!
Cause I'm P, and I'm the!..
The most respected member!
I make the vibe much better!
Bouncing left, Bouncing right!
Cause I'm the dubstepper!
Real gal collector!
Real trend-setter!
We party so hard, the next day no-one can remember! X2
And you can hear this on the flooor...
I want you screaming out for moooore.
Ratatata! You are locked into the sounds of P-Money..
Nothing but bass in your system..
This is the take-over, are you ready!?
Step aside, Step aside cause you know we're in..
Bouncing left, bouncing right.
Cause I'm the dubstepper!
This is a P-money world that we're living in!
We party so hard, the next day no-one can remember!
Step aside, Step aside cause you know we're in..
Bouncing left, bouncing right.
Cause I'm the dubstepper!
This is a P-money world that we're living in!
We party so hard, the next day no-one can remember!
