I Got Money
Raekwon Lyrics

Straight max, burgundy Lex, swing a few bats
I'm rolling up in a slick, burgundy Lexus with a few baseball bats ready to go.

I'm Gretzky, hockey mask on in the checks yo
I'm like Wayne Gretzky, the hockey legend, with my hockey mask on and making moves on the competition.

I'm eating like Hortons, Gorton's fisherman hat
I'm eating good like at Tim Hortons, rockin' a Gorton's Fisherman cap.

A wristband flooded, jewel jeweler selection
My wristband is flooded with diamonds, a selection that only a true jeweler can appreciate.

And it's obvious I blow shit up
It's clear that I dominate and excel at what I do.

Keep gun smoking, yo jump in a boat doin' in a buck
I keep firing my gun, and if you want to escape, jump in a boat I'm driving at top speed.

Hundred sons bagging XK Jags
My crew and I are bagging up money and driving around in fancy Jaguar cars.

Brawler face, meat loaf, your man up in the back of the wagon
I have a tough guy attitude, while your friend is laying in the back of a truck in bad shape.

Drugs equal money, money equals sunny days
My business is drug dealing, but with that comes lots of money and the ability to enjoy good weather and good times.

Timbs, cut off shorts and gorgeous with a ton of haze
I wear Timberland boots and cut off shorts, while enjoying a lot of marijuana smoke in my surroundings.

Bang book crook yo I'm looking
I'm on the lookout for anyone trying to disrupt my drug dealing business.

Brooklyn style, go 'head and juggle here, goonie's gon' book you
I'm representing Brooklyn and ready to hustle anyone who tries to interfere, my crew will take care of them.

It's like a tunnel when it's hard to get in
My entrance into the drug dealing business was a challenge, like trying to navigate through a difficult tunnel.

You the target, the hardest niggas know when to win
If you're the target of my business, the toughest guys know when to back off and take the L.

We in the corners, all eaters, bottles of seagrams
We're posted up on the street corners with drinks and food, enjoying our profits from drug dealing.

Og shit, now my niggas will peace you, what
I'm surrounded by original gangsters who will take care of anyone who tries to harm me.

This ain't a bitch ass boom-bap
My music is not weak or fake, it's the real deal.

It's click-clack, move back
My music is tough and demanding, so step back and give it space.

On 40th and Lennox where them killers and goons at
My roots are in the dangerous areas of New York City, where there are many violent people.

The Boogie Down Bronx is where my family moved at
My family moved to the Bronx neighborhood known as the Boogie Down, which has a rich hip hop history.

I made it out the slums and I'll be damned if we move back
I worked hard to escape poverty and tough neighborhoods, and won't go back to them.

Where killers knew rap, and niggas get jewels snatched
In the dangerous areas where I grew up, people were just as likely to be violent or steal as they were to perform hip hop music.

My niggas on the runway with bananas and doo-rags
My crew is always prepared with guns and bandanas to cover their faces.

Jiggy since the perm, Raf Simmons with 2 straps
I've been stylish and fashionable since I had a perm, now I'm wearing designer Raf Simmons shoes with two straps.

I kick it with my niggas
I spend time hanging out and bonding with my crew.

And then that they move pack
We work together selling drugs and moving our money.

The money I be making kinda sacred, don't say it
The money I make is private and not something to brag about or share openly.

Just make sure you save it, thank God that you made it
Instead of spending all my money, I make sure to save some and feel grateful for my success.

Taxes, pay it, the bullshit, save it
I pay my taxes responsibly but I don't waste my money on unnecessary things.

The blueprint, I laid it
I'm a trailblazer and innovator, providing the blueprint for success for others to follow.

The radio, they play it
My music is popular and getting airtime on the radio.

So relay it, replay it then rate it but truth debate it
My music should be shared and played repeatedly, while the truth and opinions about it should be debated and discussed.

Relate it, best way to ? It
My music should be relatable and people should be able to understand and connect with it.

But you too afraid to say it
Some people are too scared to speak their minds about my music or its message.

They hatin', they claim we affiliate with Satan
Critics and rivals may hate on my success and blame it on my alleged affiliation with evil forces.

But it's cool like ice, keep it skatin', amen
Despite the hate, I remain cool and unbothered, skating past it all, and saying 'amen' as a sign of confidence and faith in my path.

I got the money that the banks can't hold
I have so much money that it surpasses what banks are capable of holding.

I got money, na na na na na
I have a lot of money, and I'm not afraid to say or show it.

Do that shit, do it
I'm urging my crew to continue doing their thing and succeeding.
