[Verse 2: Ty Dolla $ign]
Baby,✦ you're the hottest in the city✦
You got my attention when you're with me
All this Spanish spinning got us dizzy✦
Dollars all she do it for
I throw this cash, you shake that ass
Get that upfront, just throw it back
It's just the job and that's a shame
You made it plain, you keep on sayin'
[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
I'm just here to get paid
I'm just here to get paid (Ooh, yeah)
I'm just here to get paid (Yeah)
I'm just here to get paid
I'm just here to get paid (Ah-ah)✦
I'm just here to get paid
I'm just here to get paid (Yeah, yeah)
I'm just here to get paid
[Outro: K-Ci & Kanye West]

Turn this motherfucker into a party✦
Fellas, take a lady's hand
Ladies,✦ go and choose your man
There's✦ no need to be afraid✦
