lyrics

1st Verse
Everytime I'm waking up, I'm thinking 'bout caking up
diving into money, spitting gold out like Scrooge McDuck
people think it's funny that I talk about high stakes and stuff
'cause I ain't really been making much
that's cool, I've been saving up
spit rap jewels, on Pro Tools,
so little kids at your school,
can walk around with their ipod,
banging this cause it feels cool
pull on up to that barstool,
and get served with these slick words,
or you can stick with that carpool
riding around with those squares and nerds,
I'm 'gang-greening' like mildew
Spring Cleaning and 'cha-ching'ing'
dirty money that stays stinking,
big bills, no Lincolns,
big hills, roadkill, you drive by to find I,
on a mountain so High, it's like a castle in the sky,
No sleep and no days off,
I guarantee it's going to pay off,
for more c.r.e.a.m., I stay scheming,
like Bernie I Made-off,
so keep tricking that cake off,
my flights about to take off,
stock rising so high,
while you're downsized, so lay-off.

hook

I gotta get this dough, I gotta stack this cheese
I gotta get this paper, as far I can see
I gotta get this dough-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

2nd Verse
From the nickel-nickel-nine to the city of the Dimes
I'm just trying to make a change and get a little bit of shine with rhyme
plus hustle and grinding
plus remarkable timing
equals ladders I'm climbing, to the top where Success,
and the rest is residing,
wit colorful diamonds that sparkle and shine in the limelight,
but for now, all I got is lemon-lime Sprite,
scraping up a $1.59 to live the 'High Life',
running all the red lights just to see the green,
downing all the Red Stripe, cause the sh*t was free,
for this paper I'ma stretch it far as I can see,
cause like Geico money, I feel like it's watching me,
I'm about to catapault commodities,
and taste everything, from cheddar to cottage-cheese,
because me and moola got an open door policy
because like Twitter, even the figues wanna follow me.

hook

I gotta get this dough, I gotta stack this cheese
I gotta get this paper, as far I can see
I gotta get this dough-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
