Born Adolph Thornton, Jr. in Chicago, Dolph debuted in 2008 with the mixtape Paper Route Campaign. Subsequent releases like The Weed Album and South Memphis Kingpin brought him to 2012, when he dropped the first in a successful series of mixtapes dubbed High Class Street Music . By the time High Class Street Music 4 and the Preach single dropped in 2014, Dolph was working with major-label producers including Drumma Boy and Zaytoven. Both provided tracks for his 2016 debut LP, King of Memphis, which featured no guest artists, and debuted at number 49 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
A trio of mixtapes followed, ending withm Rich Crack Baby. The album entered the Billboard 200 upon release and included guest appearances by Boosie Badazz, 2 Chainz, Wale, T.I., Gucci Mane, and 21 Savage. Another mixtape, Gelato, followed in early 2017, containing the Yo Gotti diss track Play wit Yo' Bitch as well as tracks featuring Migos, Wiz Khalifa, and Lil Yachty. Dolph's second studio album,Bulletproof, was released in April of 2017 and reached the Top 40 of the Billboard 200. Mere months later, he issued Thinking Out Loud, which featured guest spots by DRAM, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, and Ty Dolla $ign. The album was another success, hitting number 16 on the Billboard 200.
In early 2018, Dolph issued the EP Niggas Get Shot Everyday, following up later that year with the Key Glock collaboration Major (feat. Key Glock) and the solo track By Mistake The full-length Role Model appeared later in the year and became Dolph's highest-charting album to date, hitting number 15 on the Billboard 200. One year later, Dolph joined frequent collaborator Key Glock for 2019's Dum and Dummer, the pair's first collaborative mixtape. Dolph's seventh studio album, Rich Slave, arrived in August 2020 and found him addressing issues of racism and inequality in America. Included on the album were guest appearances by Megan Thee Stallion, Key Glock, and G Herbo. In 2021, Dolph and Glock reunited for Dum and Dummer 2, followed promptly by PAPER ROUTE iLLUMINATi, a showcase album for Dolph's Paper Route Empire label. Young Dolph died on November 17, 2021 after he was shot while visiting a bakery in Memphis en route to a Thanksgiving turkey giveaway. He was 36 years old.
Get This Money
Young Dolph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can tell I get this sack just by the way I walk
I'm the shit, face it, you niggas basic
Bought a half of peter, smoking a pine of purple to chase it
I'm sippin on a codeine Margarita
My Mexican bitch I call her my mamacita
I met her brother now I got work for a little cheaper
They immigrants don't suppose to be here so they illegal
I said bitch, nothing but respect, nigga you know I'm all about the checks
My old school worths more than a new vet
Fucking other niggas bitches, I call that new set
Fuck these niggas, fuck these bitches
We gonna get this money, we gonna get this money, yeah
Fuck these niggas, fuck these bitches
We gonna get this money, we gonna get this money, yeah
Roll it up my nigga, roll it up I'm witchu
I was rolling up before I was old enough
Word to color of a coconut
Put holes in your shirt like a poker dot
Donuts in the parking lot
Dope boy with a audemar
With a made dance wit ah audemar?
I got a stripper bitch in my screen saver
Looking me on every cable
Pockets on lean ain't it hand my best friend is a 3 80
Big rims, no team teenagers that deuce and deuces 4's
Deuce 6's and deuce 8, y'all sweet, 2 faces
I'm killing these beats man I need to get a suit made
So cold man I need to get some soup made
Self paid I be talking to myself like
We gonna get this money
Fuck these niggas, fuck these bitches
We gonna get this money, we gonna get this money, yeah
Fuck these niggas, fuck these bitches
We gonna get this money, we gonna get this money, yeah
Young Dolph's song "Get This Money" is a testament to his hunger for financial success. He emphasizes that he only wants to talk about money and alludes to his wealth by saying that "you can tell I get this sack just by the way I walk." He believes he is superior to other rappers who may be considered basic, and he talks about how he bought drugs and is smoking it to enhance his experience. Dolph speaks about his love for codeine Margarita and his Mexican girlfriend, who helps him save some money because her brother supplies him with drugs for a lower price. Dolph also states that he has a lot of respect for his supplier who motivates him to get more money. He boasts of his old car worth more than a new one and indulges in the luxuries of life, such as strippers and expensive cars. However, he acknowledges that he's self-made and speaks to himself, challenging himself to get more money.
In summation, the song's lyrics describe a man's insatiable appetite for money and the lengths he will go to acquire it. It's a brash, uncompromising ode to the hustle and the resulting success that can arise from it.
