It's payday, get that cheese You gotta get that cheese
Now when you're dreamin', it might not be real But when you're all alone, that's how you feel Do what you want, you just need a plan Little money and a car, you could be the man
'Cause havin' money's what you're 'sposed to do Spend some, then people start to notice you Get all the things that you wish you had Now all that little stuff don't get you mad
Don't start actin' like you can't look for more There's always more money to be made It's not everything, I know you wanna be paid
You should write it down and do the math Anything in the world is what you can have So listen to your patnah Short Get your money, young man, you ain't gotta be broke
While you standin' on the wall and you wishin' you can ball While you standin' on the wall and you wishin' you can ball
While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac, pockets always stayin' fat While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac, sippin' on yo' Cognac
Now grab a freak, smoke some weed And kick it all night with this funky-ass beat It's been a long day, gotta stay on the grind Up early, hustle for a long time
You want big dough? You wanna get mo'? You want a Cadillac truck and a six-fo'? I tell all the little homies havin' money in the ghetto One day you gotta let go but don't settle
For just hangin' on the corner broke Fiendin' for a hit of what you wanna smoke on that dope Free yo' mind if it's trapped in the streets But don't starve, you know us macks have to eat
I don't care if they don't like me Just left the bank and I'm rollin' up some light green Now hold on to your dreams for me 'Cause life ain't always what it seems to be
You gotta get that cheese While you standin' on the wall and you wishin' you can ball While you standin' on the wall and you wishin' you can ball
While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac, pockets always stayin' fat While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac, sippin' on yo' Cognac
Baby, yeah, I'm back, it's on You never woulda thought I could last this long I don't associate with non-believers If my girl keeps me naggin' me then I'ma leave her
'Cause I worked too hard for way too long To get what I got and I'm way too strong In yo' lifetime, if you don't get yours Can't do no ballin' like yo' nigga Short
But once you on a roll, they can't stop it Receivin' cheques, makin' bank deposits And that's just the way it is Don't come around me if you're negative
I'm the player of the year, there is no other I buy a mansion fo' my mother See me ridin' with the top down I need some mo' money, can't stop now
While you standin' on the wall and you wishin' you can ball While you standin' on the wall and you wishin' you can ball
While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac, pockets always stayin' fat While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac, sippin' on yo' Cognac
While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac
