Backstrokin'

Still copin'

I tend to get stressed sometimes

Brotha need more than a dime

I need some money

I need some cash

I need some dollars

I need those ends

Money tight like frog pussy (Damn) it's waterproof

It ain't no tooth fairy, tell your kids the truth

You wanna survive in this world, you need loot

Life is a game, you wanna score, you gotta shoot

I'm tired of bein' broke

That's why I wake up early and deal with the damn folks

They ask me if I wanted some Jordans, I said nope

I'd rather creep in my Cadillac

And let my seat fall back and smoke dro

I gotta get the cheese, the scratch, the cheddar

I need money indeed to make my life better

Suckers sell they soul, women turn into hoes

All because they wanna get they hands on some dough

Backstrokin', tryin' to keep my head above water

Workin' 9-to-5, I earn every quarter

Supportin' two sons plus a wife and a daughter

I need my ends like a thief need a lawyer, huh

Backstrokin'

Still copin'

I tend to get stressed sometimes

Brotha need more than a dime

I need some money

I need some cash

I need some dollars

I need those ends

Time after time, I thank God when I pray

As long as I'm breathin', I'ma chase that pay

Some **** quit and lose time off the clock

But I punch that bitch, I don't never get docked

My sailboat float, homie, never do a dock

I came from a time where we slept on the block

Shittin', pissin', eatin', fartin' and prayin' on the block

Oh Lord, I hope they don't come and take my guap

'Cause money come slow like an IV drips

So e'ry chance you get, you better stack yo' grip

I treat money like my kids and I hope they grow

Keep my eye on that ass like a pimp do his ho

And I'm fresh out the oven with a pan full of dough

Movin' like a turtle, homie, real slow

Scoopin' all that change, ****, that touch the flo'

Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters, food stamps and mo'

Like chicks do when they fight, ****, I scratch for dough

Keep my eyes on the prize and stay opposite of po'

'Cause that's all I know, is how to stay afloat

Bust a backstroke when I'm broke, keep coughin' in coke, ugh

Backstrokin'

Still copin'

I tend to get stressed sometimes

Brotha need more than a dime

I need some money

I need some cash

I need some dollars

I need those ends

For that dough, **** pimp hoes

Send folks to your crib and let that MAC-10 blow

Trust me, I know because I been broke

Thoughts of movin' coke

Hearts as cold as the arctic when the wind blows

For that dough, **** set they own family up

Put a knife blade in they mammy gut

Understand me, cuz, the shit here ain't nothin' sweet

We never taste defeat, on a mission tryna eat, these heaters skeet

For that dough, **** go all out

'Cause it's all about cash, clothes and a baller house

If there's a fallin' out, that's when people disappear

Let's get it clear, only trust the man in the mirror, no love here

For that dough, I've done some wrong in my life

Struggled day and night, don't refuse to lose in this fight

I might stumble but I keep my height

I stand for who I am, no jokin', right?

'Cause I'm steadily

Backstrokin'

Still copin'

I tend to get stressed sometimes

Brotha need more than a dime

I need some money

I need some cash

I need some dollars

I need those ends

Backstrokin'

Still copin'

I tend to get stressed sometimes

Brotha need more than a dime

I need some money

I need some cash

I need some dollars

I need those ends
