[Verse 2]
Yeah
Nigga✦ get it in a slumber if you know how (Uh)
In the heart of the summer,✦ we need a snowplow
What you know 'bout that? Baby,✦ it's your time
Coke transactions on the phone, we call it blowjobs (Yeah)
Too fast for the feds, too cocky✦ for the cops
Had to ditch my old bitch, gettin'✦ sloppy✦ with the pots (Bitch)
Hoppin'✦ off the boat, meetin'✦ papi at the docks (What up?)
He tell me I'm gainin'✦ weight, I tell him I'm gettin'✦ paid (Yeah)
Money✦ over✦ bitches,✦ I'm yelling it to the grave
Developed at a young age (What?), go after✦ what pays (Yeah)
These Gabbana sunshades block the sun rays (Bitch)
I drop a car note in the mall on the first date (Damn)
I gotta✦ get it even✦ if it's in the worst way (Yeah)
That cake, like it's, it's my birthday
New Orleans my birthplace, you heard me?
Where money's✦ more important than a person, nigga✦
[Chorus]
Yeah
Fuck bitches,✦ fuck bitches,✦ fuck bitches✦
Get money,✦ get money,✦ get money✦ (Bitch), yeah
Get money,✦ fuck bitches✦
Fuck bitches,✦ get money✦
Fuck bitches,✦ get money✦
[Verse 3]
Twisting up a blunt, thinking 'bout my next dollar✦ (Okay)✦
I'm digging in the game, tryna✦ get some money✦ out her (Okay)✦
I'm so vain, it's a problem (Yeah)
There ain't a stain on these Pradas (Uh-uh)
I'm just bein' modest (Yeah)
Got me a goddess, show her how to divide✦ it (Bitch)
She still down and she don't get none of the profit✦ (Yeah)
Wheel 'round the city,✦ let the tints hide me
That's a cold motherfucker, whoever✦ inside✦ it (Yeah)
Forever✦ symbolizin' the grind, it don't walk to you
I make it run like horses do (Uh)
Giddy✦ up, baby,✦ if he got it, then hit him up, baby✦ (Yeah)
I know it's crazy,✦ but I can't get enough, baby✦ (Yeah)
I love it, I fuckin'✦ love it
I'm a self-made millionaire, fuck the public (Hah)
Ridin'✦ to myself, 'cause I don't fuck with nothin'✦
Pistol on my lap on the way to the money✦
[Chorus]
Yeah
Fuck bitches,✦ fuck bitches,✦ fuck bitches✦
Get money,✦ get money,✦ get money,✦ yeah
Get money,✦ fuck bitches✦
Fuck bitches,✦ get money✦
Fuck bitches,✦ get money✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Coke transactions on the phone, we call it blowjobs"

① The literal act of selling cocaine via telephonic communication② A double entendre referencing 'blow' (slang for cocaine) and a sexual act, utilized to emphasize the illicit nature of the business

"That cake, like it's, it's my birthday"

① A reference to the birthday cake associated with annual celebrations② A slang reference to accumulating large sums of cash, implying a life of constant reward

Exceptional rhythmic placement of internal rhymes

High intensity delivery and vocal character

Effective use of breath control for flow maintenance

Reliance on repetitive tropes of the era (drug dealing, wealth flexing)

Some metaphors are functionally basic (e.g., 'cake' as birthday cake vs. money)
