Gotta Get Paid
Wake up every morning
Gotta get paid
Fast life
Like I'm in a race
Fast life
Like I'm in a race
Mama was low on da bills
So I jus couldn't wait
Taking off
Headed outer space
Money right
Got it up to date
Wake up every mornin'
Gotta get paid
Tryna hit fo gold
And ball like a laker
Puttin in work
Like I'm lifting weights
I ain't tryna crash
So stay out da way
Had to stay on route
Cuz I knew my worth
A Diamond in da rough
Had to climb up out da dirt
Had to fix my issues
Like a power surge
Was dodging all the bull shit
Watching out for curves
If you see me balling wit em
You know he important
My niggaz came from
Finessin starvin' smacking extortion
Wanna fly overseas
And pull up in a foreign
Team full of all stars
Trappin like it's a sport
Made a way out
From da mud
Barely had a fork
Ain't come from a silver spoon
Mama couldn't afford it
Was so used to poverty
Dat I couldn't shake it
Increased da Washingtons
To franks
Had to change da faces
Fast life
Like I'm in a race
Mama was low on da bills
So I jus couldn't wait
Taking off
Headed outer space
Money right
Got it up to date
Wake up every mornin'
Gotta get paid
Tryna hit fo gold
And ball like a laker
Puttin in work
Like I'm lifting weights
I ain't tryna crash
So stay out da way
Chase a bag
Play for keeps
Like shottaz and belly
Everybody wanna b
Number 1 like nelly
Niggaz go to jail
For da crime and dey cry
Testify on dey guy
Like 6 9
Seen my niggaz gettin' rich
Off of clientele
Vacuum sealed
Gettin' packs in from da mail
Locked me up in central booking
Threw me on da shelve
Had to balance my life
Like weight on a scale
Every step calculated
I move in silence
Hard knock life
So I'm staying solid
Even if I had a penny
I still wasn't petty
Murder on my mind
Like Melly
Studios like cemeteries
Fast life
Like I'm in a race
Mama was low on da bills
So I jus couldn't wait
Taking off
Headed outer space
Money right
Got it up to date
Wake up every mornin'
Gotta get paid
Tryna hit fo gold
And ball like a laker
Puttin in work
Like I'm lifting weights
I ain't tryna crash
So stay out da way
Fast life
Like I'm in a race
Mama was low on da bills
So I jus couldn't wait
Taking off
Headed outer space
Money right
Got it up to date
Wake up every mornin'
Gotta get paid
Tryna hit fo gold
And ball like a laker
Puttin in work
Like I'm lifting weights
I ain't tryna crash
So stay out da way
Gotta get paid
Fast life
Like I'm in a race
Fast life
Like I'm in a race
Mama was low on da bills
So I jus couldn't wait
Taking off
Headed outer space

Wake up every mornin'
