Hundred thousand for the chain and now my drop (Drop, drop)

When I pull out the garage, I chop my top (Top, top)

Just like a fiend, when I start I cannot stop (Wow)

I got, I got hella guap, look at me now (At me now)

Ooh, covered in carats

Ooh, mahogany cabinets

Ooh, I ball like the Mavericks

Ooh, stable and stallions

Ooh, massive medallions

Ooh, I finally had it

Ooh, but then you just vanished

Damn, I thought I was savage

All this stuntin' couldn't satisfy my soul (–oul)

Got a hundred big places, but I'm still alone (–one)

Ayy, I would throw it all away

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay

You ain't never cared about that bullshit anyway

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay, ayy

You know I would throw it all away

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay

Price went up, my price went up, we went our separate ways

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay, ayy, ayy

Buy me, love, try to buy me, love

Now I'm alone, Ice Box, Omarion (Ooh)

Plenty sluts grabbin' on my nuts (Woah!)

Might have fucked, it was only lust Trust)

I was livin' life, how could I have known? (Could have known)

Couldn't listen to advise, 'cause I'm never wrong (Oh)

In the spotlight, but I'm on my own (Oh)

Now that you're gone (Now that you're gone)

All this stuntin' couldn't satisfy my soul (–oul)

Got a hundred big places, but I'm still alone (–one)

Ayy, I would throw it all away

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay

You ain't never cared about that bullshit anyway

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay, ayy

You know I would throw it all away

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay

Price went up, my price went up, we went our separate ways

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay, ayy, ayy

I don't even wanna go home

In a big house all alone (Alone)

I don't even wanna go home (No, no, no)

But I'ma try to call you on the phone

(Brrt!)

I would throw it all away

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay

You ain't never cared about that bullshit anyway

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay, ayy

You know I would throw it all away (All away)

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay (Made you stay)

Price went up, my price went up

We went our separate ways (Separate ways)

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay, ayy, ayy
