And I can tell that you don't like me very well

Pop popular hit, pop hits is makin' my pockets swell

And makin' me a little rich now

You ain't seen nothing if you think that I'm a bitch now

Check it out, check it out

Just watch me, just watch me

I wasn't tryin' to be a hooker sellin' pootang

Up and down the block just ain't my thing

I seen a lot of women fall and gettin' fast money

'Cuz either aids or jail will get that ass, honey

I needed more to explore so I tried rap

Now in nineteen ninety three, I'm livin' mack stack

Check my attitude it comes with the territory, baby

Everybody wants to get paid, paid like a Lou Mays

Poppin' that coochie or sellin' fake Guccis

Whatever's in style and costs some big pop

Just to get one, niggas get a real five

It's all about the great paper chase

A million dollars worth of whip appeal could even buy Babyface

So read me all the rules so I can have my money right

'Cuz I'm a new lady boss keepin' game tight

So, you think you're all that, feelin' kinda phat

But can you see where the wrong is?

I, I don't know much about ya

But there's no doubt you're out to get yours anyway you can

Everybody wants to be a big shot

Everybody wants to make a quick buck

Everybody wants to be on the top

Oh, oh, and they swear everybody want to be like them
