Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dollars in the bank (bank)
We be pulling rank
If you coming for the money
He ain't shootin' blanks
I ain't shootin' blanks (blanks)
Fire in my tank
That's what keep me runnin'
Ru-ru-runnin'
Imma get my cake
You can never take it from me
My mind runnin'
My mind runnin'
Every everyday
Like I got these bitches runnin'
Go out for the money
I'm always around
To come and take it from me
I'll lay you down
Handle my business
Stay one hundred
My level is different
And none of you on it
I ain't playing games with you losers
I'm the type that he can do what he want
Got a shawty who gon ride wit me
I ain't gotta ask
You know she gon' run
'Cause I come in fully loaded
When it come to this money don't choke me
Somebody shoulda warned me
That you better take notice
Don't ask me how we do it
(I just say it's nuthin')
We don't run with yo lame
('Cause yo lames be frontin')
Hangin' wit Benjamin Franklin
('Cause he keep it one hundred)
She's my new Bugatti
A million miles and runnin'
Dollars in the bank
Dollars in the bank (bank)
We be pulling rank
If you coming for the money
He ain't shootin' blanks
I ain't shootin' blanks (blanks)
Fire in my tank
That's what keep me runnin'
Got the money
Ru-ru-runnin'
Imma get my cake
You can never take it from me
My mind runnin'
My mind runnin'
Every everyday
Like I got these bitches runnin'

I see most of ya caught up
Ya'll looking like office
Thirsty need to sip water
That new whip but that spoiler
Whip lookin' like star ship
Blue strip on my dollars
I ain't talking 'bout ones though
Hundred miles a runnin'
Ya I'm always on it

Keep it one hundred, mess up the commas
You don't want no drama
Count my money too low, get that
Don't play with me
Keep pays with me
I ain't talkin' 'bout them thangs flippin'
What we gonna keep wishing
Stick to whatever gonna pay dignant
Don't ask me how we do it
(I just say it's nuthin')
We don't run with yo lanes
('Cause yo lanes be frontin')
Hangin' wit Benjamin Franklin
('Cause he keep it one hundred)
She's my new Bugatti
A million miles and runnin'
Dollars in the bank
Dollars in the bank (bank)
We be pulling rank

Laura's Hook:
A Buck Fifty In The Fast Lane
