[Chorus]
Ayo, paper, green or chedder, cheese or bread
The cream is better, cake n***as fiend
To get a piece of this American dream
It seems it’s sunken to where this money is all they in love with
Like paper, green or chedder, cheese or bread
The C.R.E.A.M. is better, cake n***as fiend
To get a piece of this American dream
It seems it’s sunken to where this money is all they in love with

[J. Cole - Verse 1]
Yo, Tasha, a fox but, been round the block cause n***as jock her
The wannabe model she dating mobsters
Been involved with street kids to kingpins
Got a thing for the bad boys
Thats how she meets him, see him is cat named "Black"
Real name Jack James, stacks change
Real big in the crack game
She’s seen that Range and she’s seen that chain
The bling made the dame wanna give up her last name
She was wit, but he was pimp like, just like Ike was
Treated her like it was the Fight Club
Hit her with rights, blood drippin’ on white rug
By the end of the night, they would kiss and she was iced up
Long as he kept her iced up, she piped down
Hit her off with a little pipe to mic bounce
Down south where a n***a wouldn’t return for days or weeks
She was too afraid to cheat
So you ain't even gotta ask
As long as she got a Prada bag
Or an Armani exchange skirt showing a lot of ass
She’s good, living the life, she’s ballin’
Too bad she picked the wrong n***a to get involved with
See the n***a black had problems and enemies
And snake n***as is friends only pretend to be
And cats is out for his head, he caught in some shit
Just watch how Tasha gets tossed in the mix
[Chorus]
Ayo, paper, green or chedder, cheese or bread
The cream is better, cake n***as fiend
To get a piece of this American dream
It seems it’s sunken to where this money is all they in love with
Like paper, green or chedder, cheese or bread
The C.R.E.A.M. is better, cake n***as fiend
To get a piece of this American dream
It seems it’s sunken to where this money is all they in love with

[J. Cole - Verse 2]
Now Black owed money and when it comes to this money, trust me
You can’t tip toe with nobody cause
N***as will do insane things to get they cream
Won’t even speak, let the bullets explain things
Thats how it is, paybacks a bitch, right?
Especially if you didn’t pay back n***as is sick like
Run up in your crib like “bitch where’s the bread at?”
“You got a week to get it, dont got it, you’ll regret it”
Funny I said it cause Jack’s in the same exact predicament
Got a foot in the grave and still digging it
Owe some n***as money with no intentions of giving it
Them n***as is sending warnings, he isn’t listening
Tomorrow morning they buss in his front door
And a swarm of muthafuckers with guns drawn coming at
On the hunt for Black, Tasha gets smacked
But Jack’s gone a whole week before he gets back but
N***as is through waiting, they been too patient already
They ain't recieved a fucking penny
So they called a n***a up
Told him if he doesnt get the dough
And give it up n the next 6 hours, his bitch is fucked
But, hold up!
The n***a Black answers with “So What!”
“I gives a fuck, shoot the ho up, still won’t show up”
Hung the phone up, toss it back and she knew
Sorry baby girl, this is what cheddar can do!
