Diamond rings, gold chains and champagne

Shit, everydamn thing
He wants everything he can possibly have.

I want it all; houses, expenses
He wants houses and the ability to afford expenses.

My own business, a truck, hmm, and a couple o' Benz's
He wants to own his own business and have luxury vehicles.

I want it all; brand new socks and draws

And I'm bawlin everytime I stop and talk to y'all
He wants to show off his wealth and impress others.

And, yeah, y'all in effect that's all me

And get away, or get gaffled the very next day

Don't cry, hold your head up high

Slow down, player, don't hate 'cause you can't relate

And at that point, I'm through talkin', dawg, enough said
At this point, no more needs to be said.

So, if you owe Mack money, then I suggest you break bread
Pay Mack 10 back if you owe him any money.

The paper's out there, ha ha
There's plenty of money to be made.

All the hood
The whole community desires wealth.

Paper's out there
Money can be made if you know how to do it.
