Cut my hair the way you wanted
Watched you become important
Quit my job to make our new home far away
Now you're Mr. Successful and I'm queen of the treadmill
Trying to stay the size you think that I should stay
I used to dream about what I would be
Last night I dreamed about a washing machine

I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore

Now you say I'm being silly
But you don't know me really
You never take the time to ask me how I feel
I keep the checkbook balanced
I decorate your palace
You know I used to think that you were king
Somewhere down deep I know you really love me
But you can't see that what we have's not all I needed

I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore

You try to tell me I'm not being fair to you
But life's too short for a selfish attitude

I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore
                    

Small ideas on little minds
Many fish of many kinds
Easy cash'n'lots of leisure
Above primal law; the prize of pleasure
It pulls you down
It's perfectly clear
There's and end
To even the worst career...
Everybody knows it's up'n'down
But here it's forth'n'back..
And though money makes the world go around
It often makes it flat...

All talk of taste's beside the point
Shift your ideas; make up your mind
- Did you know fun, was this much work
If there's a cost, is it still worth it...
But, I declare each one a friend!
And take day by day untill the end..
Everybody knows it's up'n'down
But here it's forth'n'back..
And though money makes the world go around
It often makes it flat..
It often makes it flat-
But I declare each one a friend
And take day by day untill the end
Everybody knows it's up'n'down
But here it's forth'n'back..
Though money makes the world go around
It often makes it flat..
Everybody knows it's up'n'down
But here it's forth'n'back..
Though money makes the world go around
It often makes it flat.
It often makes it flat..
It often makes it flat...
                    

Used to have to eat cold meals
Now a nigga offin' gold seals
Countin' up money getting chills
We some young niggas on for real
Tokyo drift through the hills
Used to have to walk, no wheels
Now I'm buyin' whips for the crib
Young niggas on for real
Hunnid dollar bills
Young niggas on for real
Hunnid dollar bills
Young niggas on for real
Tokyo drift through the hills
Used to have to walk, no wheels
Cameras outside my crib
Young niggas on for real

I showed them bitches
Better than I ever could've told them bitches
Corduroys and Cartiers
Back then motherfuckers never shared my vision
But what you riding in a space ship?
And where your diamonds from? Saudi Arabia
Oh you don came up and put your niggas on
Now you got a crown and a chinchilla on
A1 since day one, we stayed down so we came up
Some of them niggas won't make it with you
They'll lose hope and they'll change up
I can see these niggas hating
But as you can see the bad bitches love it
They ain't let us in the building back then
Now our names on the flyer if we coming

I tried to tell them I was gonna be something they used to look at me and laugh
All them hoes in the city don't really love you unless you got some cash
That's brand new paint nigga, don't smudge it
Mofuckin pants cost 8 somthin'
That's my money so they can't say nothin'
That's my money so they won't say nothin'

Used to have to eat cold meals
Now a nigga offin' gold seals
Countin' up money getting chills
We some young niggas on for real

Used to have to walk, no wheels
Now I'm buyin' whips for the crib
Young niggas on for real
Hunnid dollar bills
Young niggas on for real
Hunnid dollar bills
Young niggas on for real
Tokyo drift through the hills
Used to have to walk, no wheels
Cameras outside my crib
Young niggas on for real

Young niggas on
Pull up on your ass unannounced in a foreign I don't know where I'm going
Hit the gas, can I hear the engine running (nope)
Living fast I ain't thinking about tomorrow (nope)
Used to be a nigga want 20 inch rims
Now we got accountants out here for Rae Sremm
All up in the mall Neiman Marcus shopping
Came a long way from them out of street apartments
Everybody got a dream that they chase
And everybody got a motherfucking hater
They wanna see your dreams burn to ashes
I can't wait to see their faces when I pass them (skrrr)
Boy you should took a young nigga serious
Now a young niggas on for real
They wasn't fucking with a young nigga then
They can't fuck with a young nigga still

I used to tell them I was gonna be something they used to look at me and laugh
And all them hoes in your city don't really love you, until you countin' cash
That's brand new paint nigga, don't smudge it
My mofuckin pants cost 8 hundrid'
That's my money, bitch, you can't say nothin'
That's my money, bitch, you can't have nothin'

Used to have to eat cold meals

Look moving in slow mo
But I still get it way faster then you, so you never would know though
She slowing it down just to ask for a photo
Just know that I'm fuckin I may be for sure though
Soldiers on me like I'm fresh out the dojo
She think I'm beautiful chocolate skin coco
Don't get it fucked up put your ass in a chokehold
Players only live once so I wear polo
Polo, polo, polo, polo
My girl's from so-cal my outfit from soho
And I got dough, that shit is stashed in the crib
And it won't leave the house like it's fucking DiGiorno
Hell yea nigga that's all me
I'm from where big problems get handled with a small fee
Started with the squad now I got the whole team tight
I stuck to the plot stuck to the script and I don't even screen right

Used to have to eat cold meals
Now a nigga offin' gold seals
Countin' up money getting chills
We some young niggas on for real
Tokyo drift through the hills
Used to have to walk, no wheels
Now I'm buyin' whips for the crib
Young niggas on for real
Hunnid dollar bills
Young niggas on for real
Hunnid dollar bills
Young niggas on for real
Tokyo drift through the hills
Used to have to walk, no wheels
Cameras outside my crib
Young niggas on for real
