It's time to come up, put your dollar bills in the air He said meet me at the White House and I was there 'Cause I'm one in a million, black men risin' They wanna keep me down but I always surprise 'em Spend my money in the 'hood, I know it's all good And you should do the same, I told you peep the game From Too $hort, you know I'm the man I lend my brother a hand 'cause I know I can I keep goin' and goin' but I'm not the pink bunny Instead of beatin' on the drum, I never stop thinking money I'm gettin' all I can, if you don't, ya slip I can't wait to get to heaven just to have a grip When I was broke, I couldn't afford a meal But now I'm now rich, I can't be fake, I gots to keep it real It's been a long time baby since I first got down But it still keep makin' these funky sounds [Chorus] [Outro (x2)] I earned my respect in the street The ghetto's been good to me I'm never going to turn my back The true and living so I gots to kick the facts [Chorus]
