Yeah, baby, you know what's up
Tryin' to get this money, girl
I'ma take you out to Las Vegas, put you to work
Show you how to get this real money
You know what I'm sayin'?
I can't wait 'til next Friday (next Friday)
That's when a brother gets paid (gets paid)
I've plenty to drink, plenty to smoke
That's what I'm out here hustlin' for
I can't wait 'til next Friday (next Friday)
That's when a brother gets paid (gets paid)
I've plenty to drink, plenty to smoke
That's what I'm out here hustlin' for
We all need to be strong for the ones we love
Can't hesitate to help the next man up
Pass the game like it's a hot potato
Gotta do it now an' not later
You wanna say somethin', preach it
If you know somethin', teach it
'Cause it makes no sense to keep it to yourself
That's how you felt
Well, you might feel better if you spread yo' wealth
Let it trickle down 'cause yo' crumbs
Might be just enough for me to get some
I'm tryin' to come up, you know I'm comin'
But it's hard for a black man without a good woman
If you find one, it might be your last chance
You ain't never gon' hold down a black man
You need to choose me, get this money, you can have me
Ride in my Caddy an' call me Daddy
I can't wait 'til next Friday (next Friday)
That's when a brother gets paid (gets paid)
I've plenty to drink, plenty to smoke
That's what I'm out here hustlin' for
I can't wait 'til next Friday (next Friday)
That's when a brother gets paid (gets paid)
I've plenty to drink, plenty to smoke
That's what I'm out here hustlin' for
You've got yo' momma, you know how that is
A good mother's gon' do anythin' for her kids
But you never knew your father, he never bothered
Your last boyfriend used to grab you by the collar for nothin'
Wasn't even tryin' to get money
Fine woman like you, I don't find the shit funny
You need management, not an amateur pimp
Who don't know what to do when the money ain't cool
I'm a hustler, I always eat good
Fat house in the hood, new shoe on my foot
Things ain't been the same since he put you out
Somethin' you ain't never felt good about
Let's get this money, that's what I want you for
Don't make me wait too long 'cause life is Too $hort
She said, "Gladly?" an' then she had me
Jumped in my Caddy an' called me Daddy
I can't wait 'til next Friday (next Friday)
That's when a brother gets paid (gets paid)
I've plenty to drink, plenty to smoke
That's what I'm out here hustlin' for
I can't wait 'til next Friday (next Friday)
That's when a brother gets paid (gets paid)
I've plenty to drink, plenty to smoke
That's what I'm out here hustlin' for
You tryin' to convince yourself it's the right thing
Once upon a time you had nice dreams
Now you don't sleep good, what are you thinkin' of?
Nobody can't tell you how to get that love
It's right here, I know you understand me
I'll be your Daddy, I'll be your whole family
No stress, never have to worry 'bout a thing
The best restaurants, furs an' diamond rings
All paid for by the suckers an' lames
All you need is me in this motherfuckin' game
To the top, that's where we goin'
Where the good green don't stop growin'
Don't ever turn on me, give me everythin' you earn for me
Be together forever, never lonely
Smoke my last weed, a big fatty
Ride in my Caddy an' call me Daddy
I can't wait 'til next Friday (next Friday)
That's when a brother gets paid (gets paid)
I've plenty to drink, plenty to smoke
That's what I'm out here hustlin' for
I can't wait 'til next Friday (next Friday)
That's when a brother gets paid (gets paid)
I've plenty to drink, plenty to smoke
That's what I'm out here hustlin' for
Here's another freaky Friday, Friday
