Cash rules everything around me
Dolla dolla bill...
Dolla dolla dolla bills
Cash rules everything around me
Gotta pay the bill...
Gotta gotta pay the bills
Cash rules everything around me
Dolla dolla bill...
Dolla dolla dolla bills
Cash rules everything around me
We just wanna live
We jus... we just wanna live
[Verse 1]
Ok, I woke up this morning
Rolled up and smoked on some gas
Then left the house
And hope police don't get ahold of my a**
My Mama say she prayin' for me
'Cause my head is so hard
And I never gave a f**
It's me against all the odds
So f** that fraud sh**
Real n***a so sick and tired of livin' off nicks and dimes
Feel like I'm still in confinement
Wishing to free my mind
Willin' to cross that line
Really cain't waste no time, so I'm
Out here on my grind
Mo' than a nine to five
Came in this game and yes sir
We playin' for keeps
I been so used to havin' nothin'
I won't take no defeats
Feet planted in the gra**
Like I came with some cleats
I need my cake cake cake
And that's includin' the cream
Came up on that grilled cheese
Now I need mozerella
Sittin' at the round table wit
My goodfellas
They say I couldn't fly
f** around and grew pro-pellas
So drink a Propel to swallow
And this sh** taste betta
I tell 'em

[Verse 2]
I'm thinkin' that even the lord knows
I'm nowhere near perfect
It's hard enough gettin' dinner
I need all my dessert
You got my money, cool
Say no more, I'm pullin' up urgent
And that's fo' certain
You don't understand
How hard I been workin'
Momma used to slave at Grady
For that check every week
Drivin' to the city
In a van with no A/C
In the middle of July
But she got on her feet
'Cause she got five kids
Trynna eat
My pops deadbeat
No disrepect, but on the real
That's the way sh** be
I learned to get it on my own
So everythang on me
Show my lil' brothers
Every single way of the wise
When you get it, don't spend it
You just tuck it and hide
Stack that sh** up to the ceilin'
Till it get up too high
[?] your roof is missin'
Take the limits up to the sky
When you young and black
To do that
They gon' look so surprised
