Ha, ha, yeah
Check it out
Money and p**** make the world go ‘round {That’s right}
That’s how it’s been since the beginning of time {Mmm}

Now who says we can’t be fly {Who}
Who say Compton n****s can’t get they scrilla, at the same time get some thigh
Well, uh, that’s the subject of my conversation {Uh-huh}
‘Cause ain’t nothin’ like gettin’ a dollar and some penetration {Uh-huh}
Now that’s a whole lot easier to understand now a days
But, uh, some of you playas still be going out sideways
So, um, just take this game with a tic tac
‘Cause if you was on Skid Row, you can get p**** faster than a Big Mac
I owe it to myself to be fly, that’s what top dawg taught a boy
‘Cause instead of Mounds these b****es always want Almond Joy
‘Cause {Sometimes they feel like a nut}
But they rather have it more often than they don’t {Uh-huh}
So I won’t go flippin’ and makin’ it topsy turvy {Naw}
Now keep my hun’ed dollar bills crisp and that a** curvy
‘Cause ain’t nothin’ on my mind but to be fly through time
Havin’ a nest egg bird behind an estate that’s mine
Watchin’ Jordan go for 40 in a sunken tub {Uh-huh}
Eatin’ Cheetos, drinkin’ Moët and gettin’ a back scrub
Because first you get the power, then you get the money
Then you get the p****, dude, don’t be no dummy, uh

Playas get they paper when they game is tight
And if you want some na-na, that’s for you to decide
But as long as you ain’t simpin’, then you’re doin’ it right
‘Cause together they go hand in hand, oh, yeah

Playas get they paper when they game is tight
And if you want some na-na, that’s for you to decide
But as long as you ain’t simpin’, then you’re doin’ it right
‘Cause together they go hand in hand, oh, yeah

She wanna make me break code, but I can’t
I wanna fire it up and hit it, pass it like dank
Baby, all in my square big buddha, long hair
Fly Chinese and Black for a mack plus player
D, baby, I’mma get you hot, wanna get you full blown
So we all can hit the spot {Now you gotta shake the spot}
Got game by the tons, lookin’ for some 2nd II None
Kinda fun, but these hookers on the run
For cover, they lookin’ for lovers
Ain’t no trickin’ young D ‘cause I’m unlike the others, not a buster
I’m on a mission for figures, time up for you diggers
{Now who got the Henny} Pass the liquor
H**s hear the name, it gets ‘em hotter
Spin a straggler on a wheel, now they call me D the Potter
Lotta hatin’ goin’ on, but I ain’t with it
I’mma mash on that drama every time that I feel it
‘Cause I’d rather have a major end, than have sex
And when I have a million to splurge, you know what’s next
But first you get the power, then you get the money
Then you get the p****, fool, don’t be no dummy

Playas get they paper when they game is tight
And if you want some na-na, that’s for you to decide
But as long as you ain’t simpin’, then you’re doin’ it right
‘Cause together they go hand in hand, oh, yeah

Playas get they paper when they game is tight
And if you want some na-na, that’s for you to decide
But as long as you ain’t simpin’, then you’re doin’ it right
‘Cause together they go hand in hand, oh, yeah

Yeah
First comes the power then the money, heh
And if you really just want it the
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

I understand that you think you’re grown
Independent, on your own with your jazzy ways
My intent is your lay, but first I’m out to get paid, not played
Can’t be your incredible edible egg
I don’t crack nor split my yolk with the female folk
Now baby, break yourself, get broke, you can choke
Off this young black better than Mary Jane
In your brain, I’m guaranteed to have you thinkin’ and feelin’ thangs
Like yourself now, uh, watch your health if you feel like plottin’
Your body turns rotten
From the inside out that p****’s turned out
Gettin’ hit by a sucker, a two minute brother
Whose first 10 seconds is thinkin’ he came up
That next full minute suckin’ your drama up
50 seconds to go, see half of that is the show
Now where the other half, you can’t laugh ‘cause you know
It’s straight simpin’ and whinin’, ‘stead of pimpin’ and grindin’
KK’ll let you know, now pay attention, bro
See, first you get the power then you get the money
Then you get the p****, don’t be the dummy though

Playas get they paper when they game is tight (Yeah, that’s for you)
And if you want some na-na, that’s for you to decide
But as long as you ain’t simpin’, then you’re doin’ it right
‘Cause together they go hand in hand, oh, yeah

Playas get they paper when they game is tight (When they game is tight)
And if you want some na-na, that’s for you to decide
But as long as you ain’t simpin’, then you’re doin’ it right
‘Cause together they go hand in hand, oh, yeah (You know)

Playas get they paper when they game is tight
And if you want some na-na, that’s for you to decide
But as long as you ain’t simpin’, then you’re doin’ it right
‘Cause together they go hand in hand, oh, yeah

Playas get they paper when they game is tight
And if you want some na-na, that’s for you to decide
But as long as you ain’t simpin’, then you’re doin’ it right
‘Cause together they go hand in hand, oh, yeah
