Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah Yeah,
Okay
I cannot sit and be broke
Man this isn't a joke
This year I'm tryna' stack me a million
I am not waiting for nothing
A train or a bus imma make this shit stack to ceiling
Tired of missing vacations, birthday celebrations
Because of my pockets been hurtin'
Im sick of waiting on labels or waiting these tables
I need it, you know I deserve it
I need a anthem
I need a million dollars
A Milly for problems
A Milly for grandson
I need a mansion,
I needa, I needa,
I probly' get it and fill it with strippers and dancers
I needa, I need advances (I Needa)
I feel like grabbin' the president daughter
Then callin' em like "Its a Milly for ransom"

This shit is crazy,
Niggas been picking up shifts
But we still gettin' minimum wages wait,
I need a Milly for mama
You know that she paved the way
I'm tryna break the bank,
I'm gettin' paid today
I need a change today
I need a Milly for grandma
For Sundays when she aint get paid to pray
I need a, wait,
I need everything, a pot gold, a pot green,
A marble floor, a limousine, a credit limit,
With no limit on it just to use for gasoline
I need all the things I ever wanted as a kid looking at the TV screen
I need all the things I never got
And its a lot because it feel like everything
Im tryna break away
They tryna' make me wait
Fuck it ill make 'em pay
I need a Milly for pops who was broke
But was still tryna make a way
Im getting paid today
I need a change today
Im tryna break away
I need a Milly for me
Just to show all my niggas I saved the day

(I need a milly for pops who was still tryna make-
I need a Milly for mama you know that she paved-
I need a Milly for grandma for Sundays when she aint get paid to pray
Im getting paid today, I need a change today, im tryna break away
I need a Milly for me just to show all my niggas I saved the day)

I cannot sit and be broke
Man this isn't a joke
This year I'm tryna' stack me a million
I am not waiting for nothing
A train or a bus imma make this shit stack to ceiling
Tired of missing vacations, birthday celebrations
Because of my pockets been hurtin'
Im sick of waiting on labels or waiting these tables
I need it, you know I deserve it
I need a anthem
I need a million dollars
A Milly for problems
A Milly for grandson
I need a mansion,
I needa, I needa,
I probly' get it and fill it with strippers and dancers
I needa, I need advances (I Needa)
I feel like grabbin' the president daughter
Then callin' em like "Its a Milly for ransom"

Who got the money man I need the answers
Nigga get smoked like cancer
I been out hustling aint' got no cash yet
Stomach is rumbling aint got no food stamps
Running from problems and hoping they solve they self
Eating top ramen not worried about my health
Chasing the money since I was at Rock The Bells
And I studied the legends they showed me how not to fail
Fake niggas hate on the mills
But me I set a date for the mills
Black men snakes to theyselves
And whites send em straight to cells
Made something from nothing
I never take no L's
But got damn went through hell,
Now I need a couple bills
And a home cooked meal,
Fuck a deal im independent for real and still

I cannot sit and be broke
Man this isn't a joke
This year I'm tryna' stack me a million
I am not waiting for nothing
A train or a bus imma make this shit stack to ceiling
Tired of missing vacations, birthday celebrations
Because of my pockets been hurtin'
Im sick of waiting on labels or waiting these tables
I need it, you know I deserve it
I need a anthem
I need a million dollars
A Milly for problems
A Milly for grandson
I need a mansion,
I needa, I needa,
I probly' get it and fill it with strippers and dancers
I needa, I need advances (I Needa)




I feel like grabbin' the president daughter
Then callin' em like "Its a Milly for ransom"
