Don't Fuck With My Money
Penguin Prison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Went up to you after, will you come home with me?
I know what your thinking that ain't my concert
We can be together but your gonna have to learn
You fuck with my money oh, you'll be sorry, no no no
You got what you wanted oh you got what you wanted no
I did what you told me oh I did what you told me no
You fuck with my money oh
You though me out the building, the middle of the night
Momma tried to tell me something wasn't right
Now I've got a problem, I need to do the math
Something goes wrong now your gonna get half
You fuck with my money oh, you'll be sorry, no no no
You got what you wanted oh you got what you wanted no
I did what you told me oh I did what you told me no
You better start to run if it happens again
Everything you want it will happen again
You fuck with my money oh, you'll be sorry, no no no
You got what you wanted oh you got what you wanted no
I did what you told me oh I did what you told me no
You better start to run if it happens again
Everything you want it will happen again
