[Sample: Mase]
Get money all over again
Get money all over again
[Intro]
Yeah kid, Charlotte on the rise
And you don’t want no problem with us, guys
Trifecta, Big Mike
Yeah kid, Charlotte on the rise
[Hook] (x2)
24-7, 365, money stays on my mind
Chasing that green, dinero, mula, the cream
Money makes the world go round, you see?
[Verse One]
I turned 16 on September the 7th
Went out looking for a job, first day was the 11th
Clocked in, handled my biz and clocked out
Only money on my mind, I was on my paper route
Wu-Tang said “cash rules everything”
Took me under a year to understand what they mean
When you grow older, money becomes prevalent
Can’t even leave the house without spending it
Blue collar work ethic, got it from my pops
Hustle to make ends meet, won’t stop til I drop
Went off to college, now I’m unemployed
I worked for two years, now I gotta fill the void
I hate my new job, but I’m a man on a mission
I gotta keep moving, put myself in the position
To be successful and to do something great
Imma make it to the top; I know that it’s my fate
[Hook] (x2)
24-7, 365, money stays on my mind
Chasing that green, dinero, mula, the cream
Money makes the world go round, you see?
[Verse Two]
I was in one bedroom, dreaming of a million
Snap back to reality, I’m simply a civilian
A kid with a dollar and a dream, like Hakeem
Give me ten years, I’ll be a well-oiled machine
Look at Jay, look at Dre, look at Puffy too
They all came from nothing and you know that’s hard to do
Now I’m looking at my parents, and I feel inspired
I wanna buy both of them a house when they retire
They worked their asses off, for me and my sisters
They made sure that we didn’t freeze in the winter
And they made sure that we had everything we needed
They picked us back up, when we felt defeated
Because of them, I wanna work hard
To get a big ass house, and a big ass yard
To raise my family; what’s my strategy?
I wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and say that
[Hook] (x2)
24-7, 365, money stays on my mind
Chasing that green, dinero, mula, the cream
Money makes the world go round, you see?
[Outro]
And you don’t stop
And you don’t quit
And if you want something in this world
Dreaming’s not enough, you gotta chase that shit
