Lyrics

Goddammit Johnny!
Ay yo man, I'm sick and tired of small change
I need that money, y'all paying small
Check it
Sick of workin' small jobs where the money is scarce
The supervisors bein' shitty in here
The managers mad greedy, just holding the bread
We penny pinching, for the hustle in here
I'm bout to make a way out, buyin' homes and such
Whoever after, payin' rent every month
Got plans, live, flip, find a renter again
To build dollars, gettin' rich as fuck
Gettin' paid two weeks, I got my bills and such
I'm left with 50 bucks, double it up
Never blowing it on bullshit, buying herb
Smoking a dutch, when I can, use my shit levelin' up
I'm sick of sittin' round goofies, that's dumb, they mad fools
Making peanuts, and paying us cashews
Drop my, two weeks, to give em' a bad mood
Why you wanna leave? Cause bitch, the cash rules
Why you wanna leave? Cause bitch, the cash rules
Why you wanna leave? Cause bitch, the cash rules
Inflation rose, it's thirty for cat food
Fuck peanuts, they payin' us cashews
Fuck peanuts, they payin' us cashews
Fuck peanuts, they payin' us cashews
The Wu told us for years, the cash rules
Fuck peanuts, they payin' us cashews
Fuck peanuts, they payin' us cashews
Fuck peanuts, they payin' us cashews
The Wu told us for years, the cash rules
Tryna have an easy day, ear buds, blastin' music
Threatened everybody that I'm goin' to the union
Beg for my stay, but they say I'm not useful
Got a better gig, 60K on computers
Early mornin' with executives, busy zoomin
Buildin' projects, seein' what the next move is
I was makin' lil' peanuts, now it's large cake
Now we tearin' Ocean Prime up every damn day
Feeling supreme, celebrate my team
We loadin' bags, at American Dream
Runnin' past red lights just to get to the green
Life itself, a big movie, I'm controllin' the scenes
Every June, July, we on the island
I ain't got time for streets and who's wildin
We shine bright like diamonds, real, reconstructed teeth
No veneers, when we smiling
Fuck peanuts, they payin' us cashews
Fuck peanuts, they payin' us cashews
Fuck peanuts, they payin' us cashews
The Wu told us for years, the cash rules
Fuck peanuts, they payin' us cashews
Fuck peanuts, they payin' us cashews
Fuck peanuts, they payin' us cashews
The Wu told us for years, the cash rules
