[Verse 1: August Alsina]
Am I wrong for wanting better? Should I just settle forever?
Oh, I swear it feels like this is as good as it gets
Am I wrong for wanting cheddar? Although theyāll tell you that Iāll never
Get out of here, I swear, I'm driven by a better life
[Chorus: August Alsina]
I wanna be rich, donāt see nothing wrong with wanting more
I wanna be rich, so tired of sleeping on the floor
I wanna be rich, thereās so much that I want
I want a house on the hill and a boat by the lake and most of all I wanna get paid, I wanna be rich
[Verse 2: Kirko Bangz]
I'm sick and tired of this bullshit
Got a full time job, but a n***a still canāt afford shit
Okay, I'm in the strip club, man, throwing all this dough, this dough
When I leave here I aināt gon' have no more, God damn
I'm tired of fronting for these fake n***as, need a diamond chain to be great, n***a
I got one, but I aināt great, n***a, what it takes, oh yeah
For the rap game to notice me, oh yeah
I topped the charts for nine weeks, but they still aināt notice me
Guess I gotta rob me a n***a, guess I gotta kill me a n***a
Guess I gotta get up on the block, sell rocks to a n***a
Guess I gotta slide me a n***a, but that aināt me, yeah
Iām H-town ātil I D-I-E, Young Kirko, you know itās me and Iām singing like, hold up
I came down, I was a young n***a when I rolled up
It came too fast, fucked my money up all I did was smoke and drink, yeah
Now Iām back here, this ain't last year and Iāmma do it like itās my last year
Man, I canāt lie, I wanna be rich
[Chorus: August Alsina]
I wanna be rich, donāt see nothing wrong with wanting more
I wanna be rich, so tired of sleeping on the floor
I wanna be rich, thereās so much that I want
I want a house on the hill and a boat by the lake and most of all I wanna get paid, I wanna be rich
[Verse 3: Kirko Bangz]
Man, Iām tired of feeling pain, tired of feeling rain, tired of being ashamed, tired of second place
Tired of hiding my face, man, Iām tired of getting no love
Tired of hitting the club when I know I got work to do
How come I aināt heard from you? God damn
Okay, I see how you doing when a n***a got money, n***a rocking that fly shit
Popping bottles in the club, everybody in the club straight sipping on my shit, pushing that Range, diamonds and the chains
Everybody came when I had shit but when the money get low everybody go talking that fly shit
But I can't knock how the game is, aināt the first n***a thatās famous
I canāt change shit, but Iāmma be okay
Cause man Iāve been out here, Iāve been grinding, Iām tired of these n***as, man, Iāve been too silent
My momma she told me āYou claim it, you got itā and Iām like okay
Iāmma do it for my city, Iāmma be on top, okay
I'mma shine on these ho ass n***as like all day
I'mma fuck any girl I want, drive every car you don't
Rock anything I want, man, I wanna be rich
[Chorus: August Alsina]
I wanna be rich, donāt see nothing wrong with wanting more
I wanna be rich, so tired of sleeping on the floor
I wanna be rich, thereās so much that I want
I want a house on the hill and a boat by the lake and most of all I wanna get paid, I wanna be rich
[Outro: August Alsina]
I wanna be rich
I just gotta be rich
I wanna be rich, oh
