Been Getting Money
Young Jeezy Lyrics

Had a mill at 16 know how that felt?
Did you ever have a million dollars when you were just 16 years old? You can't even imagine the feeling.

And I'm still kicking shit, bitch black belt
Even now, I'm still at it and I'm the best at what I do.

Shoulda seen me in that yella 4-30 Got it washed everyday, bitch never seen dirty
Back in the day, I used to own a yellow Ferrari and kept it looking spotless by getting it washed every single day.

Told me meet him at the waffle house, he got a clean .30 On my Domino's shit, only took a mean 30
A friend of mine asked me to meet him at the Waffle House, and he had a clean .30 caliber gun. I'm always ready and prepared for whatever may come my way.

My folks always on time yeah I’m talking C Murder Is it me or this Franck Muller or it just seem early
My people are always punctual, like the rapper C Murder. I'm checking my Franck Muller watch and wondering if it really is early or if it's just my perception.

I’m in something low-key, steady mobbing with the thang Cut the music down cause my cellphone ringing
I'm driving around in a low-profile vehicle with my weapon, trying to avoid attracting attention. I have to turn my music down because my phone won't stop ringing.

From what I just heard think my cellphone dreaming
I just received some incredible news that sounds too good to be true. It feels like a dream come true.

Wasn't doing this I'd probably be a politician Fuck first forty-eight just too much snitching
If I wasn't a rapper, I might have become a politician. I can't stand all the people who snitch within the first forty-eight hours of being arrested.

If them folks get behind me it be a whole lot of chasing Cause I ain't pulling over be a whole lotta arresting
If the cops start chasing me, they're going to have to work hard to catch me. I'm not going to pull over easily, which means I'll probably end up getting arrested.

Ain't a damn thing change now Cause I been getting money Who you know pulled up Black cars drewed up With the big-faced hundreds Put them things on the road now Nigga still getting that dough now Niggas think I lucked up, must got me fucked up Cause I been getting money
Nothing has changed for me, because I've been making money all along. I'm rolling up in black cars with big stacks of cash and I'm still making it happen. People who think it's all just luck don't know what they're talking about.

And just when I thought it couldn't get no better Nigga hit me on my chirp, got all my cheddar
Just when I thought things couldn't get any better, someone contacted me on my phone and delivered all my money.

All wondering why I got this shit runnin like a shower Big bag full of white, you woulda thought it was some flour
People are always asking how I'm able to make so much money so easily. I have a huge bag full of white powder (presumably cocaine), which looks just like flour.

Work hard in the kitchen like a culinary school I be doin my thang, I'm a culinary fool
I work hard in the kitchen like I went to culinary school. I'm a master at what I do.

So much Pj, I was pissin that shit, talkin bottles so big put a fist in that shit
I had so much Perrier-Jouët (a fancy champagne) that I was just peeing it out. The bottles are so big, you can fit your whole fist in them.

You were born that way, always be a hater Don Jaun on these hoes, always be a playa
Some people are just born haters, and they'll always be negative. I'm like Don Juan, always charming and seducing the ladies.

Way I work through the check I Shoulda been a calculator I'm so cold with this shit, count it in the refrigerator
The way I'm able to calculate and work through my money, I should have been a calculator. I'm so good at this, I could count my money in the refrigerator.

Jewelry store, green bob bought my first Cartier Threw em 30 thou and got the fuck up outta there
I went to a jewelry store and bought my first Cartier watch, complete with a green band. I spent $30,000 and just walked out without any hesitation.

That's how jo jo [???] one day got indicted If it's a party with the feds, I ain't tynna get invited
That's how Jo Jo (unclear who this is) got indicted one day. If there's ever a party with the feds (meaning a raid or arrest), I don't want to be invited to that.

Imagine this breeze coming from the ceiling fast Stack a hundred bills in your right hand Right there by the couch bag of rubber bands Gotta get 5, double stacked that's a hundred grand
Can you imagine a breeze coming from the ceiling and you suddenly have a stack of one hundred dollar bills in your hand? You still have a bag of rubber bands by the couch, and you need to double stack them to get to $500,000.

Rose gold jacob, 4 units for the timepiece Got my niggas working so much they need a time sheet
I have a rose gold Jacob watch that cost me four units (unclear exactly how much money that is). My crew is working so much that they need a time sheet to keep track of everything.

They thought it was a joke until I copped that 6 7:45 pull up in that bitch
People didn't take me seriously until I bought a 6 series car. Now, I roll up at 7:45 in the evening and show them what I'm made of.

Ever see a nigga pop a hundred bottles for the club [???], get the money, get ya love One song, blew a quarter chicken, yeah that's a [?] If a nigga re'ing up with half a ticket that's a car quote
Have you ever seen someone order a hundred bottles at the club? It's all about getting money and getting love. I released one song and made a quarter of a million dollars just like that. If someone's re-upping (re-stocking) with half a ticket (unclear how much exactly that is), that's like buying a car.

Ain't a damn thing change now Cause I been getting money Who you know pulled up Black cars drewed up With the big-faced hundreds Put them things on the road now Nigga still getting that dough now Niggas think I lucked up, must got me fucked up Cause I been getting money
Nothing has changed for me, because I've been making money all along. I'm rolling up in black cars with big stacks of cash and I'm still making it happen. People who think it's all just luck don't know what they're talking about.
