Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying not to trip
Can't let that jealousy get the best of me
Gotta keep my mind on the chip
Money on my mind
Money on my mind
That gossip won't get your stacks up
How you gon' hustle blind
Umbrella in my car door
Y'all mad but y'all broke
What the fuck I'm worrying bout y'all for
Got new checks and new stress
Yeah I know it come with that
So if a hoe leave, let her stay gone unless she bring them bogies back
'Cause me I'm trying not to trip
Trying not to trip
Can't let that jealousy get the best of me
Gotta keep my mind on the chip
'Cause these hoes gon' hate you anyway
They gon' hate you anyway
Shit, either way it go
They gon' have your business in the streets
You gon' have some enemies
Even if you broke
Shit
Might as well get money
Might as well get money
They gon' hate you anyway
Either way it go
Might as well get money
Ex friend used to be my best friend
Now she run around with my ex man
Me I gotta blame myself
Should have never put this snake bitch on the jet man
Showed the bitch how to dress
Gave the bitch clothes and look how it gets
Put her in a Rolls
She ain't never roll like this, with niggas will be getting real checks
Sipping 'em gold bottles, with your role model
You look up to me bitch, you won't be getting no follows
You ain't gat no hustle, you ain't even trying nothing
You trying to ride shotgun but I'm thinking 'bout buying one
'Cause me I'm trying not to trip
Trying not to trip
Can't let that jealousy get the best of me
Gotta keep my mind on the chip
'Cause these hoes gon' hate you anyway
They gon' hate you anyway
Shit, either way it go
They gon' have your business in the streets
You gon' have some enemies
Even if you broke
Shit
Might as well get money
Might as well get money
They gon' hate you anyway
Either way it go
Might as well get money
The song "Get Dat Money" by Trina is an assertive anthem about ignoring haters and focusing on making money. Trina raps about the importance of keeping her mind on her money and not letting jealousy get in the way. She mentions the stress that comes with making money, but insists that it's worth it because it allows her to live a luxurious lifestyle. The song also touches on the theme of betrayal, as Trina talks about a former friend who has started dating her ex. Trina takes responsibility for trusting the wrong person and expresses her frustration with the situation but ultimately decides to move on and stay focused on her hustle.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that people will always hate, whether you're rich or poor, so you might as well make money. Trina repeats the phrase "either way it go, they gon' hate you anyway" to underline the point that it doesn't matter what you do, there will always be someone who dislikes you. The song can be seen as a call to arms for anyone who wants to succeed in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving. Trina's message is clear: don't waste time worrying about what others think, just focus on getting that money.

Sipping 'em gold bottles, with your role model
Drinking from gold-plated bottles with me, someone whom she looks up to
You look up to me bitch, you won't be getting no follows
She admires me, but I will not associate myself with her any longer
You ain't gat no hustle, you ain't even trying nothing
You lack the motivation and drive to succeed
You trying to ride shotgun but I'm thinking 'bout buying one
You are trying to benefit from my hard work, but I am thinking about investing in a car for myself
