Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You stuck around 'cause I played for keeps
We staying hyphy
Sipping on my icy
Nothing too pricey
For my baby
Listen to your favorite song
You can watch me all night long
Moving for you
Oh baby, my check came
It cleared under my name
You're lucky it's payday
You're lucky it's payday
Come on over to collect
I'll buy you your cigarettes
You're lucky it's payday
We're lucky it's payday
We throw it up
(All up in the air now)
Watching it fall
(Watch me make it rain down)
Baby believe it
Yeah, we made it
Bet, believe it all
I'll buy you a ride
(Throw away the Benz now)
Swallow your pride
(Running from the feds now)
Oh yeah, we made it
Celebrate it
Yeah, we made it tonight
Listen to your favorite song
Yeah, the one I put you on
You can watch me all night long
Moving for you, you
Oh baby, my check came
It cleared under my name
You're lucky it's payday
You're lucky it's payday
Come on over to collect
I'll buy you your cigarettes
You're lucky it's payday
We're lucky it's payday
Get that bag, get that money
