Yeah
Mo' money bitches
Comin' to you live
From the city of hustatlantavegas
So what it do young nigga
I am on a twenty four hour
Champagne diet
Spillin' while I'm sippin'
I encourage you to try it
I'm prolly just sayin' that cause I don't have to buy it
The club owner supply it
Boy I'm on that fly shit
I am, what everybody in my past don't want me to be
Guess what, I made it
I'm da motherfuckin' man
I jus' want you to see
Come take a look, get a load of dis nigga
Quit frontin' on me
Don't come around and try to gas me up I like runnin' on E
I I I I'm on my Disney shit
Goofy flow on records I'm Captain Hook
And my new car is Rufio
Damn where my roof just go
I'm somebody that you should know
Get to shakin' somethin' cause that's what drumma produced it for
Yes I make mistakes that I don't ever make excuses for, like
Leavin' girls that love me and constantly seducing hoes
I'm losing my thoughts I said damn where my roof just go
Top slipped off like Janet at the Super Bowl, I got 'em
They can't help it,
And I can't blame 'em
Since I got famous
But bitch I got money to blow
I'm gettin' it in, letting these bills fall
All over your skin
I got money to blow oh oh ooh oh oh ooh
Oh oh oh ooh I got oh oh
I got money to blow
Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh ooh ooh
I got money to blow
Richer than the richest
We certified gettin' it C-M Y-M Cash Money business
Higher than the ceiling fly like a bird, hit the Gucci store
And later get served
We smoked out with no roof on it
Them people passi' so we smash on 'em
Burnin' up we keep the cash on deck
Lamborghini's and the Bentleys on the V-set
Louis lens iced up with the black diamonds
Car of the year Ferrari the new Spider
No lie I'm higher than I ever been
Born rich born uptown born to win
Fully loaded automatic six Benz
Candy paint foreign lights with my bitch in
Born hustlin' too big nigga to size me up
Kept stuntin' mo more money binnin' up
They can't help it,
And I can't blame 'em
Since I got famous
But bitch I got money to blow
I'm gettin' it in, letting these bills fall
All over your skin
I got money to blow oh oh ooh oh oh ooh (yeah)
Oh oh oh ooh I got oh oh
I got money to blow
Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh ooh ooh
Well I get paid every 24 hours money and the power
Come to V-I-P and get a Champagne Shower
I don't have to worry because everything ours,
And I got a big bouquet of Mary Janes Flower
That kush I promise that's my dude
But we don't smoke that Reggie Bush
And I'm with two women make you take a second look
We poppin' like Champagne Bottles But We Never Shook
And We Goin Be Alright If We Put Drake On Every Hook
They can't help it,
And I can't blame 'em
Since I got famous
But bitch I got money to blow
I'm gettin' it in, letting these bills fall
All over your skin
I got money to blow oh oh ooh oh oh ooh
Oh oh oh ooh I got oh oh
I got money to blow
Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh ooh ooh
Got money to blow
C-M-B baby
Yeah, just like that big money poppin'

Guess what, I made it

I'm somebody that you should know
Get to shakin' somethin' cause that's what drumma produced it for
Yes I make mistakes that I don't ever make excuses for, like
Leavin' girls that love me and constantly seducing hoes
I am an important person that others should pay attention to. When you hear my music, you should dance. Although I make mistakes, I don't try to justify them, like when I leave my girlfriend for other women
Top slipped off like Janet at the Super Bowl, I got 'em
Like Janet Jackson's infamous Super Bowl performance, the roof of my car came off unexpectedly, but I'm enjoying the attention it brings
They can't help it,
And I can't blame 'em
Since I got famous
But bitch I got money to blow
I'm gettin' it in, letting these bills fall
All over your skin
People are naturally drawn to me now that I am famous, but I don't blame them for it. However, I am rich and able to spend lots of money freely. I am also physically intimate with others, showering them with cash like it's falling all over their skin
Richer than the richest

Them people passi' so we smash on 'em
Burnin' up we keep the cash on deck
Lamborghini's and the Bentleys on the V-set
Despite smoking without a roof on the car, the police still try to pull us over. We quickly speed away, keeping lots of money on hand. We ride in expensive sports cars
Louis lens iced up with the black diamonds
Car of the year Ferrari the new Spider
No lie I'm higher than I ever been
Born rich born uptown born to win
I wear Louis Vuitton glasses decked out in black diamonds and drive an impressive Ferrari. I am higher in fame and success than ever before, and it's because I come from money and a wealthy upbringing
Fully loaded automatic six Benz
Candy paint foreign lights with my bitch in
Born hustlin' too big nigga to size me up
Kept stuntin' no more money binnin' up
I own a Mercedes-Benz with lots of features, and its paint job is unique and luxurious. I come from a family of hustlers and I can't be underestimated. I don't need to hoard money anymore
Well I get paid every 24 hours money and the power
Come to V-I-P and get a Champagne Shower
I don't have to worry because everything ours,
And I got a big bouquet of Mary Janes Flower
I make a lot of money and have a lot of influence. Come to VIP and I'll shower you with alcohol. I don't need to worry about financial matters because everything is already under my control. Also, I have a lot of weed
That kush I promise that's my dude
But we don't smoke that Reggie Bush
And I'm with two women make you take a second look
We poppin' like Champagne Bottles But We Never Shook
I promise that weed is really good, but we don't smoke cheap stuff like Reggie Bush. I'm with two women who are very attractive and will make you do a double-take. We're living a luxurious lifestyle and never afraid of anything
And We Goin Be Alright If We Put Drake On Every Hook
As long as we feature Drake in our songs, we will continue to succeed and be alright
