Lyrics

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
What you say? Get this money
If they say, "What you gon' do today?"
Just say, "Hey, I wanna get paid"
Every day, every day, every day
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
What you say? Get this money
If they say, "What you gon' do today?"
Just say, "Hey, I wanna get paid"
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day, every day
[Verse 1]
We dedicate this to these people out here gettin' bank
Where the pursuit of the money is reality
Never front on no clique that you can't evaluate
See, I got things out here I need to situate
I got a fresh-ass car on some gloss paint
People walkin' down the street until they feet stink
I got accountants out here handlin' big things
As I slip into the crib with the sashay
Living room with the shark with the big tank
Don't get mad 'cause I'm doin' things you just can't, can't
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
What you say? Get this money
If they say, "What you gon' do today?"
Just say, "Hey, I wanna get paid"
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day, every day
[Verse 2]
My man, you need to get back like the rebate
And bitties need to step up like the home plate
My man, now what you know about the Great Lakes?
We contemplate on gettin' money like the sweepstakes
Sippin' dark grapes, party in the dark shade
You see a **** cold chillin' like a Marley Marl
And bitties ride like a Harley
Money make a **** Rico Suave
Hey, radio play the S like arcades
Every day's a holiday, so **** stay paid
You celebrate the holidays with the money
Ain't about the pesos, ****, you can stay away
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
What you say? Get this money
If they say, "What you gon' do today?"
Just say, "Hey, I wanna get paid"
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day, every day
[Verse 3]
Somebody said that radio would never ever play
Some of that Detroit Motor City foreplay
Honestly earnin' my dough, keepin' it real, y'all (Y'all)
Countin' my cash and showin' you how the boss ball
I never thought that we would make it up this far
Grippin' my cream-colored Cadillac Northstar
Detroit Motor City finest is who we are
This is for my ladies who get out, chill at the bar
This is for my ladies who get out, chill at the bar
When I was a young boy, chillin' in my daddy's nuts
All I could hear was a rhyme, and dope cuts
Growin' up, thinkin' I was nothing but a glut
Another day, another buck, another slut
All I wanna do is get paid, Motown, don't stop
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
What you say? Get this money
If they say, "What you gon' do today?"
Just say, "Hey, I wanna get paid"
Every day, every day, every day
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
What you say? Get this money
If they say, "What you gon' do today?"
Just say, "Hey, I wanna get paid"
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day, every day
