| Verse One:
|
| Seventeen dollars all to my name
|
| I had to spend two went to got me a drank
|
| At a sto' fo' mo' for a box of squares
|
| I seen a fine bitch I had to stop and stare
|
| It was hot and she was walkin' in the scorching sun
|
| I said, «Get in pretty girl I don’t want you to burn.»
|
| She said she lives across town and needed a ride
|
| I would have took her but this gas is too highhhhh
|
| I kept flippin'
|
| I kept dippin'
|
| I can’t be wasting my time
|
| Went to the tre for a dime
|
| Now, I got a dollar left
|
| Might as well give it to somebody else, I can help
|
| Tried to hand it to a brother
|
| He said, «Man, you need more than this mothafucka»
|
| The almighty dollar
|
| It ain’t what it used to be
|
| Hobos used to asked you for a dollar
|
| Now the motherfuckers ask you for three
|
| The almighty dollar
|
| Well that’s what they used to say
|
| One dollar used to be a whole lot, but it’s hardly worth shit today
|
| Well shit, give me my dollar back nigga
|
| When I’m in the tre I might as well go buy T.S.U
|
| See what these fine girls do around here
|
| Go by Frenchy’s and smell me some chicken or something
|
| Damn, what are all these helicopters and shit doin' around this mothafucka?
|
| Continue my journey with the AC off
|
| Smoke rushin' out the window every time I cough
|
| I swang to the right and let the police pass
|
| The nigga tryin' to get away, them laws on his ass
|
| But I’m glad it ain’t me
|
| Aw naw, not now
|
| I’m tryin' to rise, tryin' to climb
|
| Don’t want to fall back down
|
| So I put the sweet out and wait until I arrive
|
| Treat it like an hour later because I’m already highhhhhh
|
| I had no need for fronting
|
| Ain’t even try to be funny
|
| Nigga got to have money
|
| Some of us love it
|
| Some of us hate it
|
| Some of us need it
|
| Almighty dollar
|
